	CNEW Politics - Quebec Election Quebec separatism never off agenda
		Voters in Quebec will go to the polls on April 14 with not one but two separatist parties on the ballot, but the rest of the country is assured by the national media that separatism isn't an issue in this election campaign.
		Quebec Premier Bernard Landry can confirm that the PQ's central issue remains divorce from Canada, he can muse about Quebec being a sovereign nation by 2005, and he's not seen to be stoking the fires of separation.
		This election is likely Charest's last opportunity to make an impact as a political leader, and it could, in fact, be make or break time for his party.

		The issue of reconciling Quebec's francophone heritage with the majority anglophone Canadian population has moved to the back burner in recent years; support for separatism abated after the Quebec government's referendum on independence failed to pass in October of 1995.
		Presidential elections scheduled for 2005 are unlikely to bring change since the opposition remains weak, divided, and financially dependent on the current regime.
		Following the elections of a reformist president and Majlis in the late 1990s, attempts to foster political reform in response to popular dissatisfaction have floundered as conservative politicians have prevented reform measures from being enacted, increased repressive measures, and consolidated their control over the government.

		In the aftermath of the recent failures of Meet Lake and Charlottetown, the current round of constitutional crises is the closest Canada ever got to the formal political dissolution between Québec and the rest of Canada.
		Quebec was industrial in its production methods and yield, its division of labour, the development of its territory, and the urban concentration of its population; it was pre-industrial in its mentality, its ideology, its morality, and its ethos, so much that one hesitated to call Quebec an industrial society.
		However, the language laws, combined with the election of a Parti Québécois government in 1976, naturally led to an exodus of Anglophone Canadians and a considerable number of businesses and corporations in the late 1970s.

		Quebec's approach to the issue of autonomy is not merely an administrative quarrel between Quebec and Ottawa; nor is it an expression of purely regional preoccupations to which some people would like to reduce Quebec's aspirations; it is the manifestation of the firm conviction of Quebecers that they constitute a distinct community and people.
		Quebec's answer to the Referendum cannot simply be put into the constitutional file, as one document among-- hundreds of others-, on- the contrary, the decisive importance of that step is obvious, and it cannot be denied it is essential that it be taken into account.
		Quebecers are well known, too, for their inclination to save, and thanks to their savings, they now have a significant supply of capital; the extraordinary success of our credit and savings cooperatives, as well as our insurance companies, provides eloquent proof of that.

		Quebec's Jews, largely Ashkenazic and English-speaking, have had a turbulent relationship with the PQ since its founding in 1968.
		When the PQ came to power in 1976, it enacted draconian French-language laws that helped prompt an exodus of an estimated 30,000 Jews to Toronto and the United States during the ensuing decade, reducing the Montreal community to Canada's second largest for the first time.
		Quebec Jewry has become increasingly French-speaking in recent years thanks to an influx of French-speaking Sephardic Jews from North Africa, who now number about 20,000, or one-fifth of the community.

		While most French Quebecers believe that the issue of effective government takes precedence over the referendum question, the vast majority of members of Quebec minorities, including the Jewish community, regard national unity as the main focus of the election.
		Although most French Quebecers resist the idea of a holding a referendum, they are equally if not more concerned by the concrete changes that the Charest Liberals might make in such areas as health and education.
		Like most Quebecers who strongly support Canadian unity, members of the overwhelmingly federalist Quebec Jewish community have also undergone significant mood swings, as public opinion polls suggested that a provincial Liberal victory was not guaranteed.
