	Quebec federalist ideology - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In Quebec, federalists, in regard to the future of the Quebec people, defend the concept of Quebec remaining within Canada, as opposed to Quebec sovereigntists, proponents of Quebec independence (most often, but not for all followers, along with an economic union with Canada similar to the European Union).
		The Equality Party of Quebec, which was a large Anglophone protest party in the late 1980s and early 1990s before losing its representation to the Quebec Liberals, also adheres more or less to this ideology.
		Since the split between the Nouveau Parti démocratique du Québec and the federal New Democratic Party, there has not been a major left-wing federalist political party in Quebec, though a sizeable minority of leftists are federalists, as are most centrists and rightists.

	Federalism - Readings - Quebec History
		Thus, essentially, the federal system is adopted where it is felt that the preservation of the individuality and separateness of the constituent parts is as important as the preservation of the nation as a whole.
		Quebecers were not unmoved by visions of creating, in the northern half of the continent, a vast dominion which they would share with their anglophone compatriots.
		Federalism also denies the application of simple majority rule since the purpose of federations is to recognise that the rights of small units have to be acknowledged and respected.

	Parti libéral du Québec - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Parti libéral du Québec (Liberal Party of Quebec, although it refers to itself in English as the Québec Liberal Party), or PLQ, is a liberal political party in the Canadian province of Quebec.
		This mirrored the situation in Ottawa, where the arrival of Wilfrid Laurier in the 1896 federal election marked the beginning of Liberal dominance at the federal level.
		Charest is a former federal Progressive Conservative cabinet minister and leader, who still holds to the ideals of his former party.

		Quebec officials estimate that excluding oil-rich Alberta from the equalization formula saves Ottawa $3-billion to $4-billion a year, half of which would go to Quebec.
		Quebec cannot say no to more federal funds, economists say, and will be forced to bend to Ottawa's will, a trend Mr.

	Quebec, Blackmail, Federalism - Political Forums
		Quebecers would be happy, I guess, if all of Canada were French, but having Anglos learn their language is not really going to affect how they feel about Canada or their place in it.
		Quebec's apartheid laws are truly unjust and the requirement that anglophones wear a Maple Leaf on their clothing abominable.
		Im sure english canada doesn't know how much quebecers are proud and unconditional democrate.Maybe they can feel it with the reaction of the sponsorship scandal in quebec, but they can't fully understand it since the responsible for this scandal are almost all quebecers(canadian nationalist).

	CBC - Canada Votes 2006 - Reality Check
		When the Liberals got 34 per cent of the vote in Quebec during the 2004 federal election, the result was generally seen as fairly pathetic.
		As they contemplate their place in Quebec, both Conservatives and Liberals would be wise to retrieve the tape of a press conference that Gilles Duceppe gave on the eve of the election.
		Quebec has moved on, and in many, many ways it has moved away from the rest of Canada.

	uni.ca - Quebec-Canada : A New Deal
		Quebecers' determination not to live through another Union and to obtain as much control as possible over their own institutions, through a government that belonged to them, was the main reason for the federal character of the 1867 Constitution.
		Quebec's approach to the issue of autonomy is not merely an administrative quarrel between Quebec and Ottawa; nor is it an expression of purely regional preoccupations to which some people would like to reduce Quebec's aspirations; it is the manifestation of the firm conviction of Quebecers that they constitute a distinct community and people.
		Quebecers are well known, too, for their inclination to save, and thanks to their savings, they now have a significant supply of capital; the extraordinary success of our credit and savings cooperatives, as well as our insurance companies, provides eloquent proof of that.

	Federalism And The French Canadians by Trudeau
		"Federalism is by its very essence a compromise and a pact" is his comment on why the Federal government of Canada has a responsibility to seek out the general consensus of the people when dealing with constitutional reform.
		Finally, the last essay (Federalism, Nationalism and Reason) is a creative piece of literature in which Trudeau exonerates the possibility of state manipulation and exploitation in dealing with the masses (the socialist tendencies of Trudeau are quite blatant through his immense historical knowledge and political shrewdness).
		Federalism and the French Canadians presents the reader with a superlative ideological perspective of "how" and "why" the executive branch of the country should be functioning in the eyes of Pierre Trudeau.

	NORMAN'S SPECTATOR
		The trouble is, in Quebec, the focus has been almost exclusively on that communiqué — a two-page document titled “Asymetrical [sic!] Federalism That Respects Quebec's Jurisdiction.” In it, the “A” term is defined as “flexible federalism that notably allows for the existence of specific agreements and arrangements adapted to Quebec's specificity.
		Outside Quebec, concerns have been expressed that the health agreement is the son of Meech (the constitutional accord that foundered in part because of its “distinct society” provision.) Mr.
		After viewing the conference as a commentator for CBC and applauding the merits of asymmetrical arrangements for Quebec, former Saskatchewan premier and national health commissioner Roy Romanow is now expressing concern that the agreement opens the door to Alberta and other provinces to go their own way.

		It is common knowledge that the federal government enjoys large and growing surpluses — estimated at $83-billion over the next five years — even as most provinces are struggling to balance their budgets while maintaining indispensable social services, such as health care, public education, highways, and municipal infrastructure.
		It is a balanced approach that strengthens the federal role in areas of its own jurisdiction and works with federalists from coast to coast to address the concerns of all Canadians.
		I feel the federal government is running surpluses because I’m overtaxed, and the provinces have had their transfer payments slashed and slashed again.

		The example of the American Civil War, which struck at the heart of the problems inherent in federalism, led the Fathers of Confederation to adopt a particularly centralised form of federalism, leading one expert in federal governments, K. Wheare, to call the Canadian system "quasi-federal".
		10.The interests of the member-states in a federation are not only protected by a formal distribution of power, guaranteed by the constitution, but, as well, by some form of local representation in the institutions of the central government.
		14.Some federations, such as Canada, have developed, through the existence of the central government, an elaborate system through which the wealthy regions contribute substantially for the support of the less fortunate parts of the country.

		Our new national government's federalism is a federalism of openness and it means drawing on the experience and expertise that the provinces and territories can bring to our nation.
		Open federalism means drawing on the expertise of the provinces and incorporating it into Canada's positions in international negotiations or within organizations that are active in areas that affect provincial jurisdictions.
		Open federalism means inviting Quebec to take its place and express its voice at UNESCO, and thus to complement Canada's efforts within the UN family of nations.

		Federalism is one of the core elements of the Canadian polity, and consequently it may be regarded as constituent element of Canadian citizenship.
		It will be argued that Canadian nationalism outside Quebec has seriously shaped the character and operation of Canadian federalism in a manner inconsistent with Quebec's understanding of the federal principle.
		While Canadians outside Quebec have consistently said that they cherish Quebec's cultural distinctiveness, this study will show that by rejecting Quebec's preferred model of federalism Canadians outside Quebec have not been as tolerant of Quebec's distinctiveness as they believe they have been.

	Prime Minister Harper outlines his government's priorities and open federalism approach
		The federal Liberals may really believe that everything should be run out of Ottawa and that whoever opposes their corruption must be in league with the separatists.
		Simply put, the Federal Accountability Act will change forever the way business is done in Ottawa – not just to improve the image of federalism in Quebec after the sponsorship scandal (though it will do that), but because every Canadian taxpayer has a right to expect better from their federal government.
		Open federalism means limiting the use of the federal spending power, which the federal Liberals abused – much to the dismay of all hard-working, tax-paying Canadians.

	Bloc wins Quebec, but Tories make headway - Government Relations - University of Alberta
		The night signalled that a large segment of the Quebec population still wanted to give federalism a chance, and that their first choice to do that was the Conservatives.
		The Liberals, for so long the sole voice of federalism in Quebec, were reduced to a few safe seats in the west end of the Montreal Island and the Outaouais area for stalwarts like Stéphane Dion, Irwin Cotler and Lucienne Robillard.
		Harper came at his Dec. 19 speech before the Quebec City Chamber of Commerce, where he opened the door to a more decentralized approach to federalism, promising to address the fiscal imbalance between Ottawa and the provinces and offering Quebec a seat at international conferences.

	Asymmetrical federalism - Political Forums
		Quebec just finished signing a $1.1 billion dollar deal with no strings attached while New Brunswick Premier Bernard Lord has been trying for months to negotiate it's own deal but accused the Liberals of being inflexible with his province.
		I think there is to much secrecy involved in the concept of assymetrical federalism and seems to be nothing more than a federal blank cheque to give to provinces to support unaffordable provincial aspirations.
		Quebec's Charest government has been pushing asymmetrical federalism more than any other Quebec premier (and, as far as I read, more than any premier in terms of looking at sovereignty vs. asymmetrical federalism).

	Reconciling the Solitudes: Essays on Canadian Federalism and Nationalism. by Reg Whitaker (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
		The attraction of national identity does not stem from persistent tradition so much as from the very social and cultural unease that liberalism fosters among people who are themselves fully shaped by liberalism's promise of personal freedom.
		There is a paradox: the more Quebec has become like the rest of North America, the more Quebec has sought greater degrees of autonomy and even sovereignty.
		The debacle of the Charlottetown referendum and the rapid growth in the 1993 election of parties in Quebec and outside Quebec that reject constitutional compromise and seek all-or-nothing solutions offer an ironic backdrop to the appearance of Reconciling the Solitudes.
