In 1995 Quebec narrowly voted to remain a part of Canada, going 50.6%-49.4% in favor of remain.

OTL Clinton opposed secession.

If Clinton wanted Canada to break up either out of sympathy for Quebec secessionists or to fulfill generic expansionist fantasies, could Clinton endorsing secession during his trip to Canada earlier in 1995 and endorsing it again days before the vote have tipped Quebec towards Independence?

And if so, what happens next? Would Canada have another province secede? This will create some political chaos and unpredictability, turn the Maritimes into effective exclaves, make Ontario significantly more politically dominant, and destroy a large part of Canada’s identity. Some officials in Saskatchewan were talking secession OTL in the event of Quebec leaving, if done that could create more exclaves while making Ontario stronger.

Could Clinton have triggered a break up of Canada by doing things differently? And if Clinton supported secession publicly but nothing went different in the vote, what impact would that have on US-Canadian relations?
