Because the separatists can't take no for answer!?!

The Canadain province that discussed seperation is Quebec.
secede from Canada
Support for separatism in Canada has been most prominently associated with the province of Quebec, where movements like the Parti Québécois have advocated for independence from Canada. The desire for separation is often rooted in cultural, linguistic, and economic factors, reflecting a distinct Quebecois identity. Significant referendums on independence were held in 1980 and 1995, with the latter narrowly losing. While separatist sentiment has fluctuated over the years, it continues to influence Canadian politics and discussions surrounding provincial autonomy.
There were two referendums which asked residents of Quebec whether they wanted to secede from Canada. Both times, Quebecers said they wanted to remain Canadian.
No, Quebec is not a country, Quebec is a Province of Canada. Quebec City is the capital of that province. In 1980 and 1995 referendums were held to have the province become it's own country within the borders of Canada, and both times the majority of the vote was to remain a part of Canada.
There have been two referendums in Quebec on their relationship with Canada. Both times the majority of Quebecois voted for Canada.
The 1980 Quebec referendum resulted in 59.6% of voters rejecting the proposal for sovereignty-association with Canada, while 40.4% supported it. In contrast, the 1995 referendum was much closer, with 50.6% voting against independence and 49.4% in favor. Both referendums underscored the divisions in Quebec regarding independence, with the 1995 result being particularly significant due to the narrow margin. These outcomes reflected the ongoing debates about Quebec's place within Canada.
Quebec is the French-speaking province of Canada that has a history of separatist movements seeking independence. The province of Quebec has held two referendums on independence in the past, in 1980 and 1995, but both were defeated.
There are 2 acceptable plurals: referendums or referenda
Probably not much. Quebec has a large manufacturing sector almost exclusively aimed at the US market. If Quebec separated it would do everything in its power to maintain this relationship as it is Quebec's bread and butter. If Quebec sensed that separation jeopardised this relationship it probably would not separate. The US would unlikely even notice separation aside from some border hurdles at the beginning.
Quebec is the province in Canada that has expressed desires to leave the Canadian union due to cultural and linguistic differences. The movement for Quebec sovereignty is known as the Quebec separatist movement, with several referendums held in the past to gauge public support for independence.
