can we move out of ASB land? things like Violent Quebec independence, or US takeover of Canada
is there any way for the Quebec independence movement become as big and power as the IRA, and if they could and did what would that do to Canada to have it's own Troubles
Can't see it.
The IRA didn't just have language, they had nationalism (stoked by centuries of issues with the english), they had religion, ethnicity, and could point to common depictions of Irish as subhuman in british media (well, newspapers back then).
For a Quebec version of the IRA, you need several more centuries, some black&tan type repression, evictions of french speakers off the land, a few failed violent quebecker uprisings, and a wealthy expat community ready and willing to back them up.
Even that will only get you a 1920's free state movement (armed, possibly).
In order for the modern IRA die-hards, you need to mix that in with a nice modern revolutionary ideology (socialism has been the popular choice, but theocracy is making a comeback in some parts), and have the combination take over organized crime for a sustained period.
In other words - I think you would need to have multiple POD's, most back in the colonial settlement period to get something like that today.
