I understand this is a very sensitive topic but I'm just curious whats it like throughout the rest of the world. The talk of separation pokes its head out every once in a while here (in Canada)...Your thoughts?

You could think it's unbelievable but here in Italy we talk about separation everyday!!!
we have a political party called Lega Nord born some years ago (about 20 years ago) who wants to separate the North from the rest of the country. the reason is that they think South is not as good as the Notrth in terms of production and also - i think - manners, behaviour and culture...
I think they're crazy... they also hate muslims and strangers (people who come from the East, in general, and from outside of Europe)... they arrive to spread pork's fat (I don'teven know how to translate) in fields to avoid gipsy or muslims to live there...
And the worst is that they support our prime minister, so they govern us...
Hahaha here it's completely opposite to the «South will rise again!» - the Northerns can't take it that the capital is in the centre (which is south to them) and they tend to be a bit neglected when it comes to funds, constructions, job opportunties...
However, more and more voices have been raising about the opposite of separating...we should merge with Spain. Our deceased José Saramago thought that way - but then again, he already lived in Spain... But no, we're not merging with Spain, at least not in the next one hundred years. Anyway, Spain would take us. They've got enough problems as it is!
separatism is trendy at the moment... just look at what focuses the European Council at the moment, destroying countries in small pieces in order to rule more easily over the different peoples. To me it's hateful...
