| | Just how far the threat (not the reality) of separation has become institutionalized in Quebec politics can be seen in the popularity of the province's three major political parties as they head into this election campaign. | | | Very little has changed in Quebec since that province's voters discovered in 1976 that they could have a separatist government without actually having to leave the warm welfare bosom of Canada. | | | If that's correct, it suggests 66% of Quebec voters support the two separatist parties. |

| | The Parti Quebecois, or PQ, was ousted April 14 after two stormy terms in office by the federalist-minded Liberal Party, which won 76 seats in the 125-member provincial legislature to the PQ's 45. | | | The Liberals were supported by an overwhelming majority of the province's Jewish voters, and their victory clears the way for what many Jews believe will be a healthier investment climate and less punitive enforcement of laws favoring the French language. | | | Far from being "a nail in the coffin of separatism," the election outcome might be a "last chance" for federalists to convince the French-speaking majority that Quebec can flourish within Canada, said Montreal attorney Steven Slimovitch, national legal counsel for B'nai Brith Canada. |
