	Ralliement national - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Ralliement national was formed in 1966 following a merger between the Regroupement national (a dissident wing of Bourgault's RIN) and a pro-independence group that broke away from the Ralliement des créditistes in 1965.
		In the 1966 Quebec general election, the Ralliement national and the Rassemblement pour l'indépendance nationale won about 8.8% of the popular vote and no seats.
		At that point, sovereignist forces in Quebec were united, and three elections later, the PQ won the 1976 Quebec general election, with historic consequences.

	uni.ca - Origins of Quebec separatism
		During the late 1960s, the movement was motivated primarily by the belief, shared by many Quebec intellectuals and labour leaders, that the economic difficulties of Quebec were caused by confederation and could only be ended by altering--or ending--the ties with other provinces and the central government.
		By 1921 Quebec was the most urbanized and industrialized of all Canadian provinces, including Ontario, which remained, however, the most populous and the wealthiest.
		After the Liberals were defeated by the Union Nationale in 1966, the extremes widened in Quebec, and the elements of opinion began to crystallize.

		What English Canada faces, then, is a choice between a very long and messy road to special status in some form of negotiated sovereignty - association on the one hand, and the shorter road to the same reality via negotiation leading to harmonious and voluntary constitutional change, on the other.
		And in Quebec, the strong nationalists and committed separatists insist that it is too late, that only Quebec sovereignty will now suffice to realize that nation's dreams and securities.
		The fact is that 30 years of thwarting Quebecois nationalism and denying special status to Quebec, which became a self - destructive obsession, have distorted the national identity of English Canadians and put on hold the development of a clear and positive sense of English - Canadian nationhood.

		In Quebec, the clergy was in charge of many of the institutions of a modern state, such as hospitals, homes for the aged, schools and universities, orphanages and establishments for the care of young delinquents, homeless persons and the handicapped

	Inroads: Kierans and Ryan: Politicians without pigeonholes (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		It is one of the ironies of recent Quebec history that the same Catholic Church that was the central institution in the old, pre-Quiet Revolution Quebec also nurtured some of the leading figures in the new, more secular society that succeeded it.
		In 1967, René Lévesque attempted to persuade the Liberals to embrace Quebec sovereignty; Kierans, then president of the Liberal Party, was backed by the party's old guard against his former ally in the fight that led to the defeat of the sovereignty option.
		After the FLQ had kidnapped a British trade official and a Quebec cabinet minister, Ryan and Lévesque were the two leading signers of a statement urging negotiation to save the lives of the hostages.

		The Liberals' victory in Québec's provincial elections this week has sparked a lively discussion on Matthew Yglesias' blog about the absurdity of single member plurality voting systems.
		In the National Assembly, however, this translated into a large majority for the party that had lost the popular vote: 76 seats for the PQ and 48 for the PLQ.
		Incidentally, the same was true in Britain a century ago, when the Labour Party was able to emerge because its initial support was concentrated in densly-populated industrial cities of northern England.
