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.
