		Quebec is bordered by the province of Ontario, James Bay and Hudson Bay to the west, the provinces of New Brunswick and Newfoundland and Labrador to the east, the United States (Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont and New York) to the south and Hudson Strait and Ungava Bay to the north.
		Quebec City was founded by Samuel de Champlain who established the Habitation de Quebec in 1608 as a permanent fur trading outpost, where he quickly forged a trading and military alliance with Algonkian and Huron nations against the Iroquois and the British.
		In 1774, fearful that the French-speaking population of Quebec would side with the rebels of the 13 colonies to the south, the British Parliament passed the Quebec Act that paved the way to official recognition of the French language and French culture.

		In an October 1995 referendum on sovereignty in Quebec, the Yes (to sovereignty) vote lost by such a narrow margin that the results were widely seen as a defeat for the federal government.
		Quebec premier Lucien Bouchard of the Parti Quebecois was given a standing ovation by some 80 students at the Université de Montréal Faculty of Law when he addressed them February 12 to explain his support to Quebec's exclusive right to decide.

		A Quebec referendum, called by the PARTI QUÉBÉCOIS (PQ) government, was held on May 20, 1980, to ask the people of Quebec for the power to negotiate a new agreement with the rest of Canada.

		It recognized Quebec as a "distinct society." However, when this MEECH LAKE ACCORD and a later (1992) CHARLOTTETOWN ACCORD were rejected, Quebec held another referendum in 1995.

		In 1898, Quebec’s northern boundary was set along the eastern shore of James Bay to the mouth of the Eastmain River, north along the river, then due east to the Hamilton River and down the river to the western boundary of Labrador.
		Since the referendum, the Crees and the Quebec government have continued to conflict on this matter, and the status of aboriginal territory has also become a prominent part of federal-provincial rhetoric on the terms of a possible secession.

		Quebec in Canada was quite capable of declaring French its only official language in 1974 and Quebec spends 34 per cent of federal immigration funds but only has to handle 19 per cent of the immigrants.
		Although Quebecers justifiably claim their arrangements with natives are better than in other provinces and that the PQ's offers of land ownership go beyond what the federal government is prepared to put on the table, still the aboriginals are not very disposed to listen.
		Quebec's nationalism and its quest for independence is essentially founded on ethnicity, that is, the historical, cultural and linguistic integrity of the French community.

		Sovereignty-Association was proposed to the population of Quebec in the 1980 Quebec referendum?
		The 1995 referendum question differed from the 1980 question in that the negotiation of an association with Canada was now optional.
		As in the previous referendum, the English-speaking (anglophone) minority in Quebec overwhelmingly (about 90%) rejected sovereignty, and support for sovereignty was also weak among allophones in immigrant communities and first-generation descendants, while by contrast almost 60 per cent of francophones of all origins voted Yes (82 per cent of Quebecers are francophone).
