	Money and the ethnic vote - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In the analysis of voting patterns, an "ethnic vote" is a vote where members of a given ethnic group strongly support a candidate or an option in a distinct manner.
		The anglophone vote is largely federalist (95%), as is the allophone vote (roughly 92%).
		The vote is clearly split along linguistic lines, non-francophones voting almost invariably for the party or option opposed to separatism, which they often consider a French-Canadian ethnic, if not chauvinistic, issue.

	MONEY AND THE ETHNIC VOTE (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		In 1995, a referendum on Quebec's sovereignty was held in Quebec, a province of Canada.
		In Quebec, statisticians refer to the "ethnic vote" as the traditional voting patterns of Quebec's three "ethnicities": francophones, anglophones and allophones (residents whose native tongue is neither English nor French).
		Traditionally, the francophone vote is split between the federalist and sovereignist options (40% and 60% respectively).

	Parti Québécois - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		On the night of the defeat, Premier Jacques Parizeau stated that the loss was caused by "money and the ethnic vote" as well as by the divided votes amongst francophones.
		A vote was held during the party's June 2005 convention to determine whether Landry continues to have the confidence of the party membership.
		Landry said he wanted at least 80% of approval and after gaining 76,2% approval on the confidence vote from party membership on June 4, 2005, Bernard Landry announced his intention to resign.

	Sameer’s article on Quebec
		However, one ethnic sub-region, Canada’s Province du Quebec, stands out as a place where leaders of an independence movement have relied on legal, codified avenues to win their ends.
		However, it ruled further that if the people of Quebec were to ever vote “yes” in a sovereignty referendum with a “clear majority on a clear question,” Canada’s government would be obliged to at least negotiate separation in good faith.
		The legitimation of the ethnic groups’ distinctiveness through official representative bodies, as in Quebec, made their sovereignty more acceptable to Moscow and the international family.

	Native Hawaiians Vote in Ethnic Referendum
		The mail-in plebiscite, the Native Hawaiian Vote, which started on July 15 and is to continue until Aug. 15, could indeed be the start of something momentous, though its ultimate goal remains undecided.
		The fate of the vote itself is also in question, with some of the biggest native Hawaiian rights groups denouncing it as an effort by the state to usurp the sovereignty movement.
		The vote, whose results are to be announced on Sept. 2, has been challenged by lawsuits that could torpedo it, including one asserting that such a race-based vote is unconstitutional.

		I can't imagine that in the day after a "yes" vote, a referendum on sovereignty, that Canada, democratic country, with a reputation for democracy and respect of the will of people, would try to stop the accession of Quebec to sovereignty, why it is based on such a democratic process, it's not possible.
		Parizeau, used the words--he blamed the defeat on money and the ethnic vote.
		Parizeau, himself, wrote a letter to excuse himself, in the weeks after that, although the letter is not very quoted often, but he did write a letter, and, uh, those were not the kind of words we have to issue, because they don't reflect what we think.

		On October 30, Quebecers headed to the polls to vote on whether or not Quebec should become a sovereign country after making a formal offer of a new political and economic partnership with the rest of Canada.
		In the end, the results were nail-bitingly close: 49.4% of Quebecers voted yes and 50.6 voted no, with an astounding 93.52% of Quebecers turning out to vote on the future of the province.
		Parizeau blamed the defeat on "money and the ethnic vote" and Bouchard subsequently vowed to continue to fight for sovereignty, arguing that Quebec's refusal to sign the new Canadian constitution guaranteed it the right to self-determination.

		On October 30, 1995, Quebec voted 51 to 49 percent to remain part of Canada--a switch of 25,000 votes would have led to a vote for separation.
		Quebec's premier blamed the narrow defeat on "money and the ethnic vote." He later said his remarks were too harsh but did not retract them.
		Since the vote, many minority residents are concerned about the future, expecting that the next general election in two years will bring another separatist referendum.

	The Agonist \| thoughtful, global, timely
		The separatist cause seemed to be strengthened during the federal parliamentary election in June when the Bloc Québécois, a close ally of the Parti Québécois, won 49 percent of the Quebec vote and 54 of 75 seats that the province holds in the House of Commons.
		He was forced to quit after the defeat because of the infamous phrase he prununced in the defeat speech:'we lost because of money and ethnic vote'.
		From that perspective it would seem that complaining about the 'ethnic vote' is akin to a US politician in a state with lots of Hispanics complaining about only losing because of the immigrant vote.

		Before the 1995 referendum, Jacques Parizeau assured Quebecers that after a majority yes vote, an offer of partnership would be made to the rest of Canada and that only if negotiations on this offer were to fail over a period of about a year would Quebec move to a unilateral declaration of independence.
		Quebec Premier Jacques Parizeau publicly blamed the sovereigntists' defeat on "money and the ethnic vote." His statement has prompted charges of racism, and other sovereigntists are attempting to heal wounds and build confidence within the province's cultural communities.
		The vote may be held as early as next June if the government's strategy can build the type of momentum needed to attract support from beyond the ranks of committed separatists.

		Then there were the oft-repeated proclamations by Premier Lucien Bouchard that the courts had no role whatsoever to play in establishing rules for secession, that the matter of Quebec's secession from Canada fell exclusively within the political and not the legal domain.
		On the subject of secession from Canada, the vote of the cultural communities in Quebec, he implies, though legally valid, is somehow morally invalid.
		Its hallmark is the pre-eminence of the rule of law that itself rests on the inviolate belief: one person, one vote, all equal in measure.

		Parizeau resigned amidst controversy two days after the 1995 sovereignty referendum over statements where he blamed the electoral loss on "money and the ethnic vote." That referendum lost by a small margin, plunging the Canadian ruling class into a crisis on the question of Quebec from which it has not yet emerged.
		On December 13 in comments before a Quebec government commission studying the state of the French language, Michaud singled out Jews and immigrants for their "ethnic votes" against the independence of Quebec in the 1995 referendum--essentially repeating Parizeau's infamous charges.
		Michaud and others who echo his views advance their reactionary views by playing on the violation of self-determination that occurred when people other than Quebecois who live in the province were allowed to vote in the referendum.
