Those crazy Separatists. At 35% of the population, they're interested in getting the debate for removing themselves from Canada going, now. They think the Canadian federation has been a raw deal for them; so why tolerate it?
About what you'd expect from the Quebec Separatists right? Sure. But who's talking about Quebec separatists?
These are people in British Columbia, Alberta and Saskatchewan. (Young people, actually -- aged 18-29).
So if Quebec wants out at 40% of their population, and they're at similar numbers in those three major provinces -- and there's not even a crisis going on -- what, exactly, is holding this country together?
Turns out: not much.
For the record: the provinces which I don't have any statistics about their separtist ferver are: Manitoba, Ontario, Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, Prince Edward Island, Newfoundland (and Labrador), and Nunavit.
