In discussing the matter with friends, in general the younger generation in Quebec do not want to separate. It's mainly the older folks that are sticking to their outdated idea that Quebec will be better off alone.

I believe this is primarily due to the bill of goods sold to them by past politicians. Also IMO the tendency of many in Quebec to be easily led is due to a carryover from their long history of being subjugated by the Catholic Church. This was evident in the Duplesis and subsequent years, when the "politician replaced the priest".
