Reference re Secession of Quebec Quebec does not meet the threshold of a colonial people or an oppressed people, nor can it be suggested that Quebecers have been denied meaningful access to government to pursue their political, economic, cultural and social development. Thus, a Quebec that had negotiated in conformity with constitutional principles and values in the face of unreasonable intransigence on the part of other participants at the federal or provincial level would be more likely to be recognized than a Quebec which did not itself act according to constitutional principles in the negotiation process. The social and demographic reality of Quebec explains the existence of the province of Quebec as a political unit and indeed, was one of the essential reasons for establishing a federal structure for the Canadian union in 1867. www.urban-renaissance.org /urbanren/publications/QuebecSecession.html

Station Information - Ninety-Two Resolutions The Ninety-Two Resolutions were drafted by Louis-Joseph Papineau and the other members of the Patriot Party in Lower Canada in 1834. Papineau's resolutions were ignored for almost three years; meanwhile, the legislative assembly did all they could to oppose the un-elected upper houses while avoiding outright rebellion. The resolutions were demands for political and social reform in the British-governed colony. www.stationinformation.com /encyclopedia/n/ni/ninety_two_resolutions.html

Québec Conference Their conclusions were embodied in 72 resolutions, which became the focus of the CONFEDERATION debates. Although the Québec Resolutions were formally adopted only by the Province of Canada, they formed the basis of the BRITISH NORTH AMERICA ACT, which created Canada. The Maritime delegates were drawn from government; Canada was represented by its Cabinet, which set the agenda, proposed the resolutions and dominated the conference. thecanadianencyclopedia.com /index.cfm?PgNm=TCE&Params=A1ARTA0006596

1856, June 24. 2001. The Encyclopedia of World History The 72 Quebec resolutions became the basis for the act of confederation. They provided for a federal government and provincial governments, a federal Parliament of two houses (the Senate consisting of 24 members each from Ontario, Quebec, and a third division comprising Nova Scotia and New Brunswick; and an elected lower house). The movement for confederation was the result of growing difficulty in the government of United Canada (religious and racial differences, problems of representation), as well as of economic (especially railway) considerations and military (defense) problems in the American Civil War period. www.bartleby.com /67/1630.html

"The Canadian Constitution, A History Lesson." It was especially aimed at those in Quebec; but Quebec, as represented by their provincial government leaders of the time, didn't want it (for whatever reason). The Englishmen that came to Quebec after 1759 were not thought to be, by Quebecers, intruders or enemies; the English were not open oppressors belonging to another creed. While Quebec got its share of loyalists, most headed to the western parts of Quebec, as that province was then territorially defined. www.blupete.com /Literature/Essays/BluePete/ConstitutionHistory.htm

VIIIe Sommet de la Francophonie Francophonie Francophonie Historique Sommet de Québec The Quebec City resolutions demonstrated that while a cut-and-dried position was impossible, on account of the wide diversity of regimes that made up the movement, there was no longer any fear of debating major world problems. The very first day of the Quebec City Summit saw the adoption of a series of nine international policy resolutions that admittedly contributed little new to the diplomatic debate, but demonstrated the vitality of the emerging Francophone movement and its desire to take its place on the international stage. Contrary to the Paris Summit in February 1986 where, according to the general view, lofty resolutions by the delegates to the first Conference of Heads of State and Government of Countries Using Frenc*h as a Common Language had dominated, in Quebec City Francophone leaders took the time to formulate concrete short-term projects. www.sommet99.net /english/page.cfm?id=37

Conservative Party to Consider Partial-Birth Abortion and Gay ‘Marriage’ Resolutions at Convention Resolutions concerning Quebec and federalism and the high tech industry were tied for second in weightiness in the minds of Conservatives with ratings of 13. The ranking for the resolutions by riding shows that the proposal to support the traditional definition of marriage is by far the most pressing issue for Conservatives. Notably, a resolution which was passed by the Greater Toronto area Conservative ridings and which proposed making the party officially pro-choice did not receive enough support nationally to be considered at the Convention. www.lifesite.net /ldn/2005/mar/05030311.html

U.S. Politics Online: A Political Discussion Forum - Why should Quebec become independant? Quebec will refuses these offers and the Rest of Canada also because they believe that Quebec should be crushed.

New Year’s resolutions for Quebec politicians - Brigitte Pellerin Online Charest to go back to the original promise he made in 2000 to allow de-amalgamation is hoping for a miracle, and we’re only discussing New Year’s resolutions. A much more sensible resolution for the young politician would be to get a job in the private sector that would teach him a lot about real life outside politics, which he hasn’t seen much so far, as well as provide a measure of financial security. Every time the Liberals tweak the bills related to de-merger referendums, they make it harder for the former suburbs to disentangle themselves from their megacity, and virtually worthless to do so given that taxation powers will remain under the control of megacity mayors. www.brigittepellerin.com /2004/polsresolutions.htm

George F. G. Stanley, Act or Pact? Another Look at Confederation (1956) Sections 28 and 41 of the London Resolutions are almost identical (with one or two small exceptions) with their counterparts in the resolutions of Quebec. The London Resolutions of 1866 were, in a word, little if anything more than an edited version of the Quebec Resolutions of 1864; the contractual nature of the pact remained unaffected. In the case of Nova Scotia, Sir Charles Tupper, an ardent exponent of federation on the basis of the Quebec Scheme, accepted without comment a proposal that the Quebec Resolutions should be abandoned and a new confederate agreement drawn up in conjunction with the other provinces concerned. www.cha-shc.ca /bilingue/addresses/1956.htm

History 30: Canadian Studies Curriculum Guide - Unit Two: The Nineteenth Century: The Road to Democracy The delegates at Quebec arrived at a consensus enunciated in the Seventy-two Resolutions. The Quebec Resolutions that articulated the constitutional Framework for the proposed new nation precipitated an intense debate in all the colonies. Cartier and the Quebec delegation claimed success in ensuring that the provinces would have important "enumerated powers." They argued that the Quebec's legislature, dominated by the province's French majority, would possess the necessary powers to protect the French culture and language, and the Catholic religion. www.sasked.gov.sk.ca /evergreen/history30/u2ct4.html

Welcome to Founders' Hall -- The Quebec Conference These resolutions were the basis for the London Conference held at Westminster Palace Hotel in December 1866. Following this conference, the delegates from the colonies drafted a text known as the 72 Resolutions, or the Québec Resolutions.

altconfedn Creighton tells us, for example, that the Quebec Resolutions ensured that provincial powers would be limited while those of the federal government would be unrestricted, since they gave only specific, defined powers to the provinces, leaving all other powers (“all the remaining or residuary powers”, in Creighton’s words) to the federal government. Nor are the speeches and resolutions of the fathers of Confederation as likely to be known by most of us today as they may have been in 1966. But at the same time, the Quebec Resolutions gave the provinces power over “generally all matters of a private or local nature, not assigned to the General Parliament.” Here too we have a “general” and undefined power. www.chass.utoronto.ca /~asilver/altconfedn.html

Minutes, General Council, 22 Feb 2003 The Party's federal office is more open to resolutions from Quebec. Regarding the Quebec social model, Pierre participated in a conference on that subject; it was pointed out to him that he was the only federal politician there. Quebec progressives tend to vote for the Bloc Québécois; we should work to get them to better know the NDP so that they support us. www.web.net /~qcndp/en/communiques/proces-conseil-030222en.html

The Canadian Constitutional Saga Quebec demands the respect of its exclusive provincial powers by Ottawa, bilingualism for the other provinces too and a decentralization of federal powers so that Canada be a real binational confederation. Boycott of all British imports, popular gatherings to protest the despotic rule of London over Lower and Upper Canada, organization of the Fils de la liberté, mendates of arrest on the leaders of the Patriote movement, armed conflicts crushed by British army. Liberal Premier of Nova Scotia elected on an anti-confederation agenda, various demands for the breakup of the confederation, major electoral fraud allows for the election of the pro-confederation party in Quebec. english.republiquelibre.org /constitutional-saga.html

Dictionary of Canadian Biography Online Finally he defended each of the 72 Quebec Resolutions, which the parliament of Canada would soon be invited to ratify, and concluded that the proposed confederation would guarantee the protection of the privileges, long-standing rights, and special institutions of Canada East. According to the brief comments in the handwritten register for Quebec City for the years 1855—63, it is clear that the two men possessed next to nothing in 1855, although they had been in business for 15 years. He was mayor of Quebec City from 1865 to 1867 but it is difficult to assess what he accomplished since he never published a report, for which he was rightly blamed by his political enemies. www.biographi.ca /EN/ShowBio.asp?BioId=39548

Quebec Conference These were refined over the next two weeks and the resulting agreement - the Quebec Resolutions - was substantially the same as the British North America Act which became the founding constitution of Canada in 1867. They now had their proposals listed as 72 resolutions. While trying to work out an agreement, the delegates argued about whether this should be a legislative or a federal union. collections.ic.gc.ca /confederation/quebec.html

Kuhl The Quebec resolutions, the London resolutions, and the draft of the bill by the London delegates all indicate that the provinces of Canada desired federal union. He sat in on all the discussions during the Quebec Conference of 1 864, he knew what the drafters of the Quebec resolutions intended and wanted, and as such was intimately acquainted with the thoughts and wishes of the delegation which went to London in December 1 866. Clause 70 of the Quebec resolutions indicates that whatever agreement was arrived at by the delegates would be submitted to the provinces for their approval. kanata.250free.com

The World Factbook 2004 -- Field Listing - Background UN trade sanctions remain in effect due to incomplete Iraqi compliance with relevant UNSC resolutions. Its paramount political problem continues to be the relationship of the province of Quebec, with its French-speaking residents and unique culture, to the remainder of the country. The uninhabited islands were discovered and colonized by the Portuguese in the 15th century; they subsequently became a trading center for African slaves and later an important coaling and resupply stop for whaling and transatlantic shipping. www.brainyatlas.com /fields/2028.html

2nd page They met in Quebec City in October 1864 to create a document called the Quebec Resolutions. At this conference leaders from the Province of Canada, New Brunswick and Nova Scotia turned the rough draft of the Quebec Resolutions into the British North America Act. After this conference each colony brought these resolutions back to its legislative assembly to be voted on. www.wecdsb.on.ca /206/gr8/2nd_page.htm

A Century of Collecting: Excerpt from The Quebec Resolutions, 1864 The Resolutions summarized agreements in principle on the conditions for a federal union: a federal system; federal/provincial powers; regional basis of representation in the Senate; local governments; and property and liabilities. They worked on a detailed plan for union and their conclusions were embodied in the 72 resolutions of the Quebec Resolutions (shown above). Later these resolutions would be the foundation of the British North American Act and the confederation of Canada. www.archives.gov.on.ca /english/centennial/image12.htm

174 - Arnold Winkler, Keld Simonsen, Akio Kido for drafting the resolutions. The planned approach is to: a) standardize cultural element specification method and standardize registration procedures for cultural elements, and thereafter b) register cultural elements Until the registry is established, WG20 appreciates the informal collection of cultural elemnets by WG15 and encourages WG15 to continue this. charmaps In response to WG15 resolution 190, and whereas WG20 believes that methods based on those described in N103 are adequate to ensure coded character set independent specifications of cultural elements, therefore WG20 will not currently address a standard for registration of charmaps nor will WG20 address a registry of charmaps. www.open-std.org /jtc1/sc22/wg15/174

UN General Assembly Resolution - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia A United Nations General Assembly Resolution is voted on by all member states of the United Nations in the General Assembly and requires a simple majority (50% of all votes plus one) to pass (with the exception of 'important questions which require two-thirds majority'). Resolution 47/181: The partition of the British Mandate of Palestine. Resolution 505: Threats to the political independence and territorial integrity of China (Republic of China) and to the peace of the Far East, resulting from Soviet violations of the Sino-Soviet Treaty of Friendship and Alliance of 14 August 1945 and from Soviet violations of the Charter of the United Nations en.wikipedia.org /wiki/List_of_UN_General_Assembly_Resolutions   (223 words)

United Nations General Assembly - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The "Uniting for Peace" resolutions, adopted in 1950, empower the Assembly to convene in emergency special session to recommend collective measures – including the use of armed force – in the case of a breach of the peace or act of aggression. Voting in the General Assembly on important questions - recommendations on peace and security; election of members to organs; admission, suspension, and expulsion of members; budgetary matters - is by a two-thirds majority of those present and voting. At the first Special Session of the UN General Assembly held in 1947, Oswaldo Aranha, then head of the Brazilian delegation to the UN, began a tradition that has remained until today whereby the first speaker at this major international forum is always a Brazilian. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/UN_General_Assembly   (728 words)

Fathers of Confederation From his observations while attending a meeting of the council at Quebec, he became convinced that Canada East would never accept legislative union; if there was to be a union at all, it would have to be a federal union as planned at Quebec. Many New Brunswick anti-confederates were pretty well unionist at heart, but opposed the Quebec scheme because, as Smith and others held, it gave too much power to the central government, or, as Wilmot and others contended, it left government too weak. Wilmot was a member of The Confederate Council on Commercial Treaties, embracing all the provinces. crl.library.ns.ca /amhersthistory/wilmot.htm   (728 words)
