	Quebec sovereignty movement - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Quebec sovereignty movement is a political movement for the attainment of sovereignty for Quebec, a province of the Canadian federation.
		Quebec sovereigntists are generally not in opposition to federalism as a concept, but are opposed to the present federal system of Canada and do not believe it can be reformed in a way that could answer what they see as the legitimate wish of Quebecers to govern themselves freely.
		Sovereignty-association was proposed to the population of Quebec in the 1980 Quebec referendum.

	Online Encyclopedia and Dictionary - Lucien Bouchard
		While still a strong Quebec nationalist, he converged with Mulroney on the belief that, with a new constitutional arrangement, Quebec's position within Canada could be improved.
		The Parti Québécois (PQ; the Quebec provincial party in favour of independence) campaigned for the Bloc in the 1993 federal election in order to prepare Québec for sovereignty, according to the Three Periods strategy of PQ leader Jacques Parizeau.

	Quebec nationalism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-07)
		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.

	[ Decline and Renewal of Quebec’s Sovereignist Movement - UFP - Union des forces progressistes ]
		During the 60s, Quebec’s nationalist movement rallied support around the issue of the French language as the language of work, education and public signage, as well as focusing on the modernization and secularization of the Quebec State.
		Rightly perceived by Quebec’s cultural communities as a reproach, this dramatic statement also reflected the nationalist movement’s inability to rally the support of a significant number of new immigrants and members of the English community.
		For progressive sovereignists, for whom social reform is as important as the language question, it was not a surprise.
