The situation is worrisome for those of us, like myself, who have lived in the rogue province of Quebec all our lives despite the separatist threat. Most Canadians, including the non francophone community within Quebec, are blissfully unaware how pervasive the separatist movement remains. Fueled by misinformation by the English language media and complacency by the non francophone minority, the separatists in Quebec have been studying factions like those in Spain and plotting another go at the independence gate. 

The English language media throughout Canada have offered a false sense of security by writing off the separatist movement (they call themselves sovereignists because it sounds more respectable) but there are more than 1.5 million Quebecker(s) who continue to fan the embers of separatism waiting for the right trigger event. Spain or Scotland may provide that trigger soon.
