My understanding is that Quebec gets paid to stay. Else they would already be out. Didn't they actually vote for an independentist leader at the federal (house

  Quebec politics are complicated but the 1995 independence referendum was 50k votes away from a Yes/Quebexit majority, and independentist parties regularly win at the provincial level. At the federal level the Bloc Quebecois is independentist and usually gets 20-40% of the Quebec vote. Currently Quebec has strong momentum relative to the rest of Canada and their prime minister is a soft nationalist populist who likes to stir up trouble with the federal government but public support for independence in Quebec is still around the 40% mark. There's no realistic scenario where Quebec actually becomes independent in the short term.
