In 1995 , an estimated 100,000 people gathered for the unity rally in Montreal to urge Quebecers to vote 'No' In 2015 , Jean-François Lisée predicted that Quebec 's independence movement would be reborn.

Now, on the eve of the 30th anniversary of Quebec 's second independence referendum, it seems the tide could be turning again.

Heurtel said a change in Ottawa could hurt the PQ’s prospects, since Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre favours a more hands-off approach to the provinces.

But Simard said a Conservative government in Ottawa coupled with a Trump administration south of the border could drive home the idea that Quebec is better off alone.

The Bloc Québécois could well form the official Opposition for the first time since 1993 .
