The CAQ is Francois Legault.
As his popularity drops so does the entire party.
The CAQ doesn't have longstanding roots in Quebec, they don't have a base of support to fall back on. The Party begins and ends with Legault.
So when the CAQ served its purpose, a middle ground between the PQ and the PLQ and Legault was popular, it worked. Now that he's unpopular, the party will collapse.
As is the way with Quebec politics. I bet he wishes he implemented electoral reform now.

I don't fucking think so. Pound sand.Quebecers can keep Canadian passports in a separate Quebec, PQ says

Same as with a hypothetical Alberta separation - why would Canada not allow existing Canadian citizens to retain their dual citizenship? What would be the criteria for revocation of citizenship? Would we suddenly refuse to recognize dual citizenship in the unique case of Quebec/Alberta?

This all would have to be part of any federal legislation enabling separation. What would citizenship look like? How would pensions and transfers be handled?
Last time it was debated and discussed but at the end of the day, Albertan or Quebecer, Canada recognizes dual citizenship.
So, I would assume that legislation would have to be passed to change what would permit dual citizenship. I doubt that such a change would meet too much resistance from Canadians.
When Britain left the EU they pretty much lost all their rights, privileges and benefits of being in the EU.

Alberta (and Sask.) didn't join Confederation as former self governing colonies. That area was part of the area that was transferred from the Hudson Bay Co. to Canada in 1870, so can't really "separate". They would have to vote to leave Confederation for the vote to be legitimate. That might just mean that the province of Alberta could just be renamed (Athabasca, or Assiniboia, for instance), or the whole area being the new province of Saskatchewan.

The only real issue is whether Alberta and Quebec would recognize dual citizenship. At the moment of actual "separation", any residents of these provinces - now turning into a state - would have been born Canadians or naturalized Canadian. They could not lose that citizenship. The same cannot be said of anyone born in theses new states or immigrating to these new states after the "separation" date.
