"Quebec separatist party suffers crushing defeat" by Sean Farrell and Rob Gillies | Associated Press April 09, 2014
MONTREAL — Quebec voters gave a resounding no to the prospect of holding a third referendum on independence from Canada, handing the main separatist party in the French-speaking province one of its worst electoral defeats ever.
The Liberal Party, staunch supporters of Canadian unity, won Quebec’s legislative elections Monday, while the pro-independence Parti Quebecois suffered a crushing defeat that puts its dream of a sovereign Quebec on hold for years.
The results will allow the Liberals to form a majority government, less than 18 months after voters had booted the party from power for the first time in nine years amid allegations of corruption.
**************
Quebec Premier Pauline Marois, who led a minority government, called the snap elections last month in hopes of securing a majority for her PQ party.
But the campaign stirred up speculation that a PQ majority would ultimately lead to another referendum on independence from Canada, an idea that has lacked support in recent years.
Fears of a referendum galvanized supporters of the Liberals. Marois suffered a humiliating defeat, losing her own seat, and announced that she would step down as party leader.
‘‘The defeat of our party tonight without a doubt saddens me as much as you, if not more than you,’’ Marois told supporters. ‘‘I am leaving my post.’’
Marois had tried to mute talk of another referendum on independence. She had hoped instead to make the election about the PQ’s proposed ‘‘charter of values,’’ a controversial but popular measure that would ban public employees from wearing Muslim headscarves and other overt religious symbols.
But the strategy got derailed early in the campaign when one PQ candidate, multimillionaire media baron Pierre Karl Peladeau, burst onto the scene with a fist-pumping declaration of his commitment to ‘‘make Quebec a country.’’
Peladeau, who won his district, congratulated Liberal leader and new premier Philippe Couillard.
Couillard, a former brain surgeon and ex-Liberal health minister, has vowed to return the Canadian flag to the Legislature. The PQ has always removed the flag when elected.

UPDATE: Separatists lose Quebec vote: Say oui to globalism
I can't think of a better reason to say NO, even though that is not what they said!
They simply said they wanted to remain part of Canada, but I can see why the Globe would want to misrepresent the issue. With renegade regions demanding independence and breaking away from empirical structures across the planet, the AmeriKan vision of world domination is dissolving in front of their eyes.
Like all the King's horses and all the King's men, the Globe is trying to put Humpty Dumpty back together again!
