	Quebec City - Encyclopedia, History, Geography and Biography
		Quebec City is known for its Winter Carnival and the Château Frontenac, an historic hotel which dominates the city skyline.
		In French, Quebec City is generally referred to simply as Québec without the French equivalent of the word "city." French names of large geographical regions such as provinces and countries are typically preceded by articles whereas city names are not (unless it is part of the name, such as "La Malbaie").
		In mid-2001, 13.0% of the resident population in Quebec City was of retirement age (65 and over for males and females) compared with 13.2% in Canada; therefore, the average age is 39.5 years of age compared to 37.6 years of age for Canada as a whole.

		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.
		Quebec City was founded by Samuel de Champlain who established the Habitation de Quebec in 1608 as a permanent fur trading outpost, where he quickly forged a trading and military alliance with Algonkian and Huron nations against the Iroquois and the British.
		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.

		The object of the communication is to vindicate their right to vote in the Quebec provincial general elections held on 13 April 1981 and to ensure that prisoners can exercise their right to vote in any elections which may be held in the future, whether federal or provincial.
		The Director General of Elections of Quebec therefore contacted the Solicitor General's Office suggesting the conclusion of an administrative agreement concerning the voting of inmates of federal penitentiaries in the province of Quebec.
		They submit that, after the elections, in the state of the law as it was before the adoption of section 3 of the Constitution Act of 1982, an action for a declaratory judgement did not constitute an effective and sufficient domestic remedy ensuring respect for their right to vote.

	Quebec
		J.N. Francoeur proposed that "Quebec would be disposed to accept the breaking of the Confederation pact if in the other provinces it is believed that (Quebec) is an obstacle to the union, progress, and development of Canada." Or, in other words, if they couldn't get along better then maybe they should separate (Maitrez 8).
		The secession of Quebec would separate the Maritime provinces from mainland Canada and a unilateral declaration of independence would most certainly result in a sharp drop in the value of the Canadian dollar, plunging Canada into a terrible recession.
		A good example can be found in the September 28, 1981, ruling by the Supreme Court of Canada that struck down an appeal in which Quebec was joined by Manitoba and Newfoundland to challenge the legality of the Constitutional Act of 1982.

	QuébecPolitique.com \| National Union
		The Union Nationale is born of the merging of two political parties: the Conservative Party, founded during the XIXth Century and led by Maurice Duplessis, and the Action Libérale nationale, a splinter group of the Liberal Party led by Paul Gouin since it's foundation in 1934.
		This party dominated the political scene in Quebec from 1936 to 1960, and declined after the death of it's founder in 1959.
		The last MNAs elected under the label "Union Nationale" were elected during the 1976 general election, with Rodrigue Biron as leader, boosted by the protest vote of the english-speaking Quebecers against the "Loi 22" voted by the Liberal government in 1974.

	Lessons of the 1972 Quebec General Strike
		The general strike came on the heels of the “Quiet Revolution” of the 1960s, which saw French-speaking Quebec transformed from a church-dominated backwater to a modern, self-conscious and largely secular society.
		In Quebec, workers were increasingly driven into the arms of their own francophone capitalists, leading to the election, with significant labour support, of the bourgeois-nationalist Parti Québécois four years later.
		But the ideas of the nationalist Quebec labour tops, for all their manifestos on “socialism,” led not to the “dictatorship of the proletariat” but to the rule of the nationalist union-busting PQ, who were swept to victory in 1976 and again in 1981 with a significant labour vote.

	Bloc Quebecois: The Road of Sovereignty
		In the general election of November 15, 1976, the Parti Québécois won a majority of seats in the National Assembly, thus forming the new govern-ment of Québec with René Lévesque as premier.
		One year later in 1981, despite the referendum loss that many had seen as the death knell for the Parti Québécois, the PQ was returned to power with a strong majority.
		The repeated failures to renew Canadian federalism leave Quebecers only two true options: the status quo, i.e., Canada just the way it is, with all its insensitivity to their legitimate and historical aspirations, or the way of the future, the road to sovereignty.

		The allowance must be computed by dividing between the authorized parties, proportionately to the percentage of the valid votes obtained by them at the last general election, a sum equal to the product obtained by multiplying the amount of 50¢ by the number of electors entered on the lists of electors used at that election.
		The allowance must be used to reimburse the expenses incurred by the parties for their current administration, the propagation of their political programs and the coordination of the political activities of their members; it must be paid only if the expenses are actually incurred and paid.
