    The Parti Québécois (PQ), which has promised to hold a referendum if they win

    I couldn’t imagine a stupider thing for Quebec to do right now, given the sabre-rattling coming from the south of us.

      I’m guessing it would mostly be stupid for the government in power, and staying in Canada would win decisively.

      In Alberta there’s a barely-concealed affinity between separatists and MAGA, so it becomes a useful wedge issue to unite your own party. Not so in Quebec.
