If they had real commitment they'd abstain from parliament like Sinn Féin does in Northern Ireland.

But they don't, they just want to make noise and push the 'oh woe is us' narrative that riles up their base.

Yeah, this is basically just Quebecois populism. Empty rhetoric to get their voters worked up. While I also want to get rid of the monarchy in Canada, it isn't like Quebec separatists, who by virtue of their own platform want to leave Canada, should get to choose such an important step for the entire country (we would basically have to re-do our entire constitution.
