back to the Quebec question.
I' ve been to Montreal a couple of times and met some Quebequois. My impression is that those people that are heavily into the separatist movement are more the ones from the rural areas.
It is probably the old anxiety of losing ones cultural identity being surrounded by English speaking provinces and countries. Just my guess.
If you look into the economy I am not sure if an independent Quebec could survive if the northern part of the province would decide they wanted to stay with Canada. As it is, PQ is an incredible enrichment for North America.
