I think it is history, and the belief that sundering the country would
be a bad precedent, aside from the fact that it would split the maritimes
from the rest.

The real reason is, of course, the battle on the Plains of Abraham.

But I tell you that today I feel that a province that would be willing
to use the abominable notwithstanding clause to dictate signs doesn't
sound like it should be in Canada.  If most Quebecois support this sort
of thing, then they simply don't have the same vision of a free nation
that I, and many others have.
