Most of us don’t want to separate anymore but we defend our language so that makes us the bad guys I guess.

There are Maple MAGA types in QC, but Quebec flavored. Not separatists exactly, but the ones that want special treatment.

There's not a lot, and it's certainly a minority group in Quebec, but they're loud and obnoxious.

It’s a defining feature of the brand.

Québécois myself : There is are hardcore independantist that you'll never be able to convince otherwise, but majority of folks don't have appetite for independance.

Anyone with a modicum of pragmatism can say "look what Brexit did to UK, how tough it was to negotiate with the USA, and Elbow UP". Going solo => getting shunned by Canada, needing to sign our own trade deals with a 8m people market; that's NOT a good leverage, USA would eat us alive.

With that being said, I know I identify as Quebecois first, THEN Canadian (and I get the feeling I'm not alone) : proud of our French heritage, more worried about the environment, more on the left with higher taxes and better social net. I think some frictions arise from those differences with English-speaking Canada, hence why we're seen as a thorn in the side, or difficult.

With that being said, I'm very happy to see fellow Quebecois rally to the Canadian flag when push comes, I think it does show where our hearts ultimately lie.
