Separatists - in this context - are people who advocate the separation of a region from the country that is is part of and of its continuation as an independent country.


In this case the separatist were politically united in the Parti Québécois. This party when in power twice organized a referendum on independence for Quebec, only to see it defeated, albeit by a narrow margin.
