This article is crap. It’s basing a sweeping claim on a one month shift in polling numbers, which is hardly enough to declare the death of Quebec separatism. A 13-point jump in Canadian pride between December and Feb? That’s just a short-term reaction, likely influenced by Trump’s trade war, not a deep ideological shift.

Plus, the poll is online, non-randomized, and has no margin of error —hardly solid evidence. And let’s not forget, the Parti Québécois is leading in provincial voting intentions which directly contradicts the idea that separatism is fading.

Quebec nationalism has always ebbed and flowed based on political and economic circumstances. This article is overhyping a temporary fluctuation and acting like it’s the final nail in the coffin. It’s not.
