As a western Canadian, it's fun (?) to joke about Quebec separation. (Indifference/irrelevance, right or wrong, is a common western view on it, I think.)

I had to look this up but it seems the last big poll of Quebecois on this was in 2011: 41% voted in favour of sovereignty. http://www.ledevoir.com/politique/quebec/323376/sondage-lege...

That's actually way higher than I thought. But if support for the Bloc Quebecois is any indication, the sovereignty movement was dealt a big blow in our fall 2015 election. They lost a lot of federal seats and smaller polls suggest popular support for sovereignty might be around 31% now. https://ca.news.yahoo.com/blogs/canada-politics/quebec-indep...

Still, it's fun/interesting to talk about. As a westerner. ;-)
