 | | Our Quebec membership, numbering currently over 50,000, or close to one third of our Canadian membership, has, not surprisingly, evolved a unique and feisty identity within the larger structure, and three of our four elected directors are francophone, no small tribute to the political strength of the French factor in the steelworkers union. |
 | | For all the attention focused on language and culture, the nationalism pursued by the Quebec labour movement and by the progressive or social democratic wing of the Parti québécois has always coupled self-determination with the kinds of collective social rights and entitlements that are the raison d'être of labour everywhere. |
 | | In short, I feel that Quebec must be strongly and completely united with the rest of the provinces in the future or it must go its own way, and quickly, before it causes further damage to what we know as Canada. |
