Feelgood, you are right. There are hard-core separatists that want nothing short of separation -- they want the country of Quebec outside Canada.
In the separatist movement, I believe they are in the minority (even if they are half of the movement it isn't enough to carry the vote). The rest are those who want special status but don't necessarily want to separate. It's one of the reasons why the last referendum question was so convoluted. If the question has simply asked, "Do you want Quebec to separate from Canada to form its own country?" the numbers wouldn't have been near the 49% they had last time.
So what I am saying is that close to 66% (at least) of Quebecers do not fall into the hardcore separatist camp. The rest whine no more or less than say Albertans about not getting what they want from the Feds.
