  Quebec Nationalism - Quebec History
As the nation wished to continue its separate course of existence, a new self definition was needed: the nation of the French Canadians was born.
At the outset, the French Canadian nation was centred in the St-Lawrence Valley, along the ancestral farmlands that dotted the landscape of the province.
The emigration of between 800,000 to 1,000,000 French Canadians, fully 40% of the population of Quebec, from 1830 to 1930 was one of the most traumatic events to have fallen upon the nation.

 Gender, Sexuality, and Nationalism in J.W. Bengough's Verses and Political Cartoons   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-30)
Canadian social and cultural historians, some of them influenced by post-colonial feminist scholarship, have focused on the diversities in historical conceptualizations of national belonging.
Bengough's discourse on Canadian nationalism was shaped by his interaction with the community of social reformers in late nineteenth-century Toronto who saw their work as one of 'regenerating' society.
In Western culture, woman, as a national symbol, was the guardian of the continuity and immutability of the nation and the embodiment of its respectability.

Its popularity with French Canadians continued, and was reinforced when, at the inaugural meeting of the Société Saint-Jean-Baptiste in 1834, the maple leaf was one of numerous emblems proposed to represent the society.
The King at the request of Canada, assigns to Canada the national colours white and red, and declares that the national emblem of Canada shall be three maple leaves on one stem on a white field.
The road to the adoption of national arms was not nearly as rocky as the one to the adoption of the new national flag, but it had its bumps and it was a road that had to be travelled first.

 Laurendeau, Joseph-Edmond-André   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-30)
Following the success of the league - over 80% of French Canadians voted no - a nationalist third party was created in the fall of 1942.
Laurendeau called for a redefinition of traditional French Canadian nationalism to reflect more clearly the problems and aspirations of an overwhelmingly urban and industrial society.
His fellow commissioners, reflecting the divisions within Canadian society at large, could not come to terms with the constitutional implications of linguistic duality and cultural pluralism, and thus the final volume of the report never materialized.

 Quebec nationalism   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-30)
Quebec nationalism is the subject of many international studies together with the contemporary nationalism of Scotland, Catalonia and other non-sovereign regions of the world.
The rise of a Catholic nationalism, which was pervasive throughout Quebec society until fairly recently, marked a century of religious obscurantism.
One outstanding issue is whether contemporary Quebec nationalism is "ethnic" or "territorial." The former has disturbing overtones and is often used by critics of Quebec nationalists to imply that the nationalist worldview is insular and parochial, concerned with preserving a "pure line" of white francophones within the province.

 Quebec nationalism - InformationBlast
The emergence of a French Canadian (Canadien) nationalism coincides with the birth of many nation states at the time of the Early Modern revolutions, which began with the independence of the Thirteen British American colonies.
Often accomplished militarily, these national liberations occurred in the context of complex ideological and political struggles opposing European metropolis with their respective colonies, monarchists with republicans.
Although it was still defended and promoted up until the beginning of the 20th century, the French Canadian liberal nationalism born out of the American and French revolutions began to decline in the 1840s, gradually being replaced by both a more moderate liberal nationalism and the ultramontanism of the powerful Catholic clergy.

 Canadian literature, French. The Columbia Encyclopedia, Sixth Edition. 2001-05
Except for the narratives of French explorers (such as Samuel de Champlain and Pierre Esprit Radisson) and missionaries, no notable writing was produced before the British conquest of New France in 1759.
Since that time the inspiration for much French Canadian literature has been a concern with preserving an autonomous identity in a country dominated by the English language and the Protestant religion.
French Canadian writers found their models mainly in writers from France and their themes in nationalism, the simple lives and folkways of the habitants, and the devotion to the Roman Catholic Church.

Trudeau filled a gap for English Canadians who, in the 1960s, were desperately seeking a new idea of their country to replace its fading British identity.
It is full of a dancing sort of cerebral rage that already seems an artifact of another age: Nationalism was "a concept that corrupts all," the idea of the nation-state had "managed to cripple the advance of civilization"; sovereignists were little Torquemadas, the grand inquisitor of the Middle Ages, and so on.
There was the concession to English Canadian nationalism of the 1980 election, where he set aside his dualistic idea of Canada in favour of a pan-Canadian identity.

 Pierre Elliot Trudeau & the demise of liberal Canadian nationalism   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-30)
For a combination of reasons—his Québécois origins, his role in promoting French language rights and articulating a more assertive and ostensibly progressive Canadian nationalism, his political sangfroid, and his fierce opposition to Quebec nationalism—Trudeau came to be viewed by the ruling class as the politician best able to counter the threat of Quebec separatism.
In fact he counterposed to Quebec nationalism a fervent Canadian nationalism—a political viewpoint that in the final analysis is no less reactionary and alien to the interests of working people.
Significantly, given his public record of opposition to ethnic nationalism, Trudeau did not object to the Chretien Liberal government's flirtation with the movement to partition Quebec, in the event of a majority vote for Quebec's secession.
