I don't think majority of people on either side wanted separation. IIRC, polls were only at about 30% in favour on both sides, so there was less resentment among the populations (more so against the politicians) and a willingness to make it ork out best for everyone.
I don't think Canada is exactly like that, but there are probably similarities too. For example, I think for the most part, cooler heads would prevail and there would be an effort to make it work with as little disruption as possible.
