Eric, Well they are actually losing the war for separatism in Quebec because the young are voting with their feet and leaving the province. As the separatist old guard ages it is being replaced by a far more pragmatic group that actively learn English and are thus bilingual. They are then able to travel and take jobs out of the province and they do. Those that remain are older and fewer than before.
Quebec has fallen below replacement level in natural births, even with the large fees paid for children. The French immigrants from former french colonies, like Haiti, are also in favor of English even as they speak French.
Year by year the buttering of bread beats out separatist rhetoric.
