I am hesitant to summarize a couple of hundred years of history in too short a package... :P

But the main impetus, IMO, was creeping loss of power. Quebec used to have a high birth rate, and, hence, a growing population. That population stayed numerous enough to be able to keep a 'balance of power' within Parliament for quite a long time. However, that power base began to erode after WW 2, and the Separatist movement, with its desire to negotiate for 'more' began to grow in influence.



And you may call it righteousness
When civility survives,
But I've had dinner with the Devil and
I know nice from right.
