Unfortunately, that would require a raise in taxes... Or at least, a RADICAL reforming of government (Look at Klein in Alberta as an example.. He blew up hospitals, refused raises for teachers and nurses, and pushed privatization on everybody...)
Whether it was a good idea or not, we don't know.. But it did reduce the debt.. (as did him being aided by high oil prices..)
To answer other questions, from what I understand, Montreal is currently sitting at a 30% separation rate, gaining strength among the 'young', because it's currently in style to be separatist.. (and remember, the young love to protest...)
Quebec city is sitting at about 80%...
