Based on an article I read recently it was around 18 or 19% if I recall correctly. In any case, it was the lowest ratio in decades. That 60% number is pure fake news.

It turns out the 19% I mentioned is for the 18-35. If you were to include people over 35, something like 35% would probably be accurate although it usually varies between 30%-40%.

Oops, it looks like I had some kind of April Fool's article.

But why do you think so many Canadians want immediate independence from Canada?

Let's keep it civil

Excellent. Alberta is fed up with subsidizing post-secondary education, immigration, and welfare in Quebec. How soon can Quebec leave. It looks like Alberta cannot easily get out of the equalization payments, and the biggest burden is Quebec. If Quebec would leave Canada, the rest of the country will thrive. Let's go. Do it.

Quebec should go solo, an independent country aligned with France. Everyone will be happy. Perhaps Trudeau can be the King of Quebec.

No, Canada works best when it's complete. I don't want any province to leave.

We'd be losing over 1.5 million square km of land.

I don't think so. There's still all the Inuit and the First Nations people in Quebec and all the First Nations territories (a LOT of land, especially in the north) and the First Nations have made it very clear that their sovereignty and rights of land within the boundaries of Quebec and Labrador are their own and their treaties and loyalties are with Canada's Monarch first and the Federal Crown second, not Quebec's Provincial Crown or some wannabee future separatist republic.

Nobody else can claim sovereignty over them and they want absolutely nothing to do with Quebec Independence and have been fiercely adamant against that for decades. There's no way they're going to just give up and walk away from their ancestral territories and the income their territorial businesses and natural resources presently bring in, nor will they willingly give up their sovereignty.

So I think the First Nations are a force that can't be underestimated and represent a big stumbling block to separatists bid for Quebec's independence and it's something separatists don't even want to think about. It must give them such a head ache they'd prefer to pretend that the First Nations don't exist and perhaps they're hopeful that if they don't mention the First Nations then all the eager beaver wannabee separatists will forget that the First Nations are there to contend with and one day the First Nations will all just mysteriously disappear in a puff of smoke.
