Three days before the big day and the much awaited referendum for Scottish independence is ratting the nerves of both residents in Canada's Quebec, as well as Queen Elizabeth II and Prime Minister David Cameron.

About a dozen sovereigntists from Quebec have flown to Scotland to help in Thursday's referendum on independence, as well as observe and get tips as to how to carry their own campaign to break Quebec away from federalist Canada.

Maxime Laporte, president of the Saint-Jean-Baptiste Society of Montréal, said the current events in Scotland now "are inspiring for Quebec."

Another group of young Quebec "independentists" said they will attend debates and conferences in the lead-up to the big day.

Alice Trudelle, who was still young to vote during the last 1995 referendum, told Edinburgh News that despite the loss of Quebec then, "the idea of still appeals to a lot of people."

"Scotland's inspirational independence movement shows that independence remains a very valid and modern idea."

McGill Professor Daniel Weinstock told Montreal CTV News that either win or lose, the Scottish referendum will be closely monitored by the Quebec separatist parties. However, he ruled out any potential immediate impact because Quebec city currently has no separatist party in power that could "pull the trigger with a bump in support for sovereignty."

If the Scottish separatists win, Quebec and the whole world will monitor how it will go about its economic conditions. "That would be a cold shower on sovereignist forces. If it goes well, the PQ would have good ammunition to use in the next election."

Incidentally, no less than Queen Elizabeth II herself has cautioned the Scots to thread carefully as the looming Thursday elections gets nearer.

Consistently maintaining a stand of neutrality over the matter, she told the Scots to "think very carefully about the future." The Queen reportedly made the comment to a wellwisher as she left morning service at a church near Balmoral, the Times UK reported.

Mr Cameron, on the other hand, was more impassioned when he implored on the Scots not to make the Yes vote just because he is still their leader. "I won't be here forever."

Scotland and the United Kingdom has a 300-year-old relationship. What happens on Thursday could either break this or lengthen it further.
