Quebec hasn’t made any huge moves for separation recently, but it’s always in the back of everybody’s mind. With Quebec’s population, culture, and history, issues in that province tend to dominate how Canadian national policy is shaped. The Bloc Quebecois (the Federal Quebec nationalist party) is much more pacifist, anti-globalization, and anti-American than any of the other parties, and having them so close to Executive power will probably result in Canada’s policies being shaped even more in their favour.
