 National Order of Quebec - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The National Order of Quebec (in French Ordre national du Québec) is an order of merit bestowed by the government of Quebec, Canada.
The Council of the National Order of Quebec (Conseil de l'Ordre national du Québec), elected by and amongst the members of the Order, is mandated to short-list candidates based on the results of calls for nomination published in daily and weekly newspapers in Quebec.

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.
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.
With the Treaty of Paris (1783), Quebec would cede its territory south of the Great Lakes to the United States of America.

 Notes on the Québec national question - North America / Mexico Imperialism / War - Anarkismo
Because in the hand of the ruling class, nationalism is a poison that breeds xenophobia and racism, that creates divisions and forges false alliances between the elite and the rest of the population.
One of the central aspects of the revolutionary critique of nationalism is that it's an essentially bourgeois ideology whose goal is to unite two classes with antagonistic interests in a competition against other nations, all the while giving the leadership of the political struggle to a section of the ruling class.
The idea that the national question was the key to social change in Québec, that national liberation and social liberation should come together as part of the same movement, dates back to the 1960's.
