Words without action, even from a Head of State, are meaningless. If France ever recognized Quebec as an independent nation and established diplomatic relations with some type of "government in exile", that'd be a notable action, but they never did so. And "moral support" amounts to nothing in politics.
And even if some Mexican government document from years ago states that as official policy (which I'm still not believing without real proof), it doesn't necessarily mean anything. I believe it wasn't until the late 90s that the Republic of Ireland formally dropped their claim to Northern Ireland, but for decades earlier the vast majority of the public wanted nothing to do with Northern Ireland, and the government never took any serious action toward taking it over, which is perfectly understandable as there's no reason to believe either the residents or government of a rather peaceful and serene country would want to annex a troublesome province full of constant car bombs and gun battles that became an economic black hole as a result.
Also taking Pat Buchanan seriously is just, well, tough to describe but easy to understand.
