In actual fact the appetite for seperation in Quebec has been steadily decreasing in the last couple of years. The realities setting in I guess. Well thank goodness. The separation campaign really tried to sell the Quebecois a bill of goods - you can separate and everything will stay the same, the Canadian dollar, the taxes, the laws, the social security, etc. Whereas Canada almost surely wouldn't have let Quebec continue to use the dollar (and who knows how the markets would value a new Quebec livre?) and would enter into very serious discussions as to what share of the national debt Quebec was going to assume! These details weren't brought up in the campaign as I recall. My ex-pat friends from Quebec were saying in disgust, "Let them separate! That will teach them! They will get a real reality check then!"
