Here is a bit of good news following the Tory win:

Support for sovereignty dropped in Quebec in the immediate aftermath of the Conservative election victory that included a breakthrough in the province, according to a new poll. The poll by the Montreal-based CROP firm for Montreal La Presse newspaper suggested the number of Quebeckers who supported an independent Quebec dropped to 34 per cent after the federal election from 43 per cent prior to the Jan. 23 federal election.

While I have long balked at the way the English-language media in Canada has given no credence at all to the sovereigntist message and aspiration in Quebec, that is a far different thing than supporting it. Good to see that there is an ability to put the opposite argument on the table and have it received.
