See my answer below.
Allowing Quebec to completely separate would cut Canada in half. The entire eastern part of Canada would be cut off from Ontario, Manitoba, Saskatchewan, Alberta and BC.
They would also likely claim territorial waters in the St.Lawrence Seaway, potentially causing issues geting goods from the Atlantic ocean into the Great Lakes and vice versa.
If Quebec was Nunavut or Yukon or North West Territories, I bet the vast majority of Canadians would be overjoyed to see the whiny cry babies fuck off for good.
They take undeserved handouts from the rest of Canada while holding up their middle finger to the people giving them money. It's disgraceful.
Do you have a source for that? I was in Montreal (St Lambert) in 1995 for the last referedum on separation, and "NO" won by 1.16% of the vote. The final numbers were "Yes" 49.42% and "No" 50.58%.

If you have a poll or article that shows public opinion has greatly swayed in favor of "NO" in the last couple decades, I'd love to read it.
French vs English has been ongoing since France and England both attempted to colonise Canada back in the 1500s.
At this point the French are like the South Park "They took our jerbs!!!" meme. All they do is take money from Canada and cry about how hard they have it, and how the evil English are out to get them and wipe the French language from human history.
700 years later, Quebec still speaks French (and English) - and still hasn't stopped the ridiculous pearl clutching and hand wringing.
