	Quebec sovereignty movement - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		The Quebec sovereignty movement is a political movement for the attainment of sovereignty for Quebec, a province of the Canadian federation.
		Quebec sovereigntists are generally not in opposition to federalism as a concept, but are opposed to the present federal system of Canada and do not believe it can be reformed in a way that could answer what they see as the legitimate wish of Quebecers to govern themselves freely.
		Sovereignty-association was proposed to the population of Quebec in the 1980 Quebec referendum.

		Although one cannot generalize, natural allies of sovereignty tend to be found within the Left: labour unions, the French-speaking arts community, students (non-working members of the younger generations, as compared to Generation-Xers), the media, the Catholic clergy, anti-globalization supporters and the academic political left.
		Opponents are often found in the business community, ethnic minorities, the older generations, working class Generation-Xers, non-French speakers ("allophones"), Jews, Francophone Protestants, libertarians, the non-nationalist political right, and critics of Keynesianism, statism and government intervention in general.
		Their position is often so close to that of some moderate Quebec sovereigntists that many have jumped the fence both ways (former Premier of Quebec Lucien Bouchard and Quebec lawyer Guy Bertrand are well-known examples of this).
