The nationalists' real political setback, however, the election of a Conservative government to Ottawa in 1911 - and especially the CONSCRIPTION crisis of 1917 - served to highlight the isolation of Québec, which henceforth bound its fortunes to those of the Liberal Party.

 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.
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.
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 Church in Crisis - INTRODUCTION - ON THE COUNCILS AND GENERAL COUNCILS
The history of the General Councils of the Church is a fascinating subject, and to those unfamiliar with the history of the Church a subject which bristles with difficulties of all kinds.
General Councils are frequent in some ages, and in others the centuries go by without a single one.
Since all this is likely to be unfamiliar to the general reader, to him I would say some words of the great authority I have already made use of, a writer who all his life was ever conscious that the course of true historical study is strewn with difficulties.

Although both the government and the National Assembly of Quebec rejected the agreements under which the Canada Act was passed and denounced the political legitimacy of the Constitution Act, 1982, the Supreme Court of Canada ruled that the province was legally bound by the Act.
Between 1962 and 1980, eight federal elections were held in Canada, five of which (1962, 1963, 1965, 1972 and 1979) resulted in minority governments, as no party won an absolute majority of seats in the House of Commons.

Although they did not result in majority support for this option, they have made it clear that, for a very significant proportion of Quebecers (40.4% in 1981 and 49.6% in 1995), sovereignty is a mainstream political option deserving their endorsement.
For many Quebecers, support for sovereignty is not a whimsical reaction, but rather is born from the conviction that the current situation is unsustainable.
Once Québec becomes a sovereign state, international law governs the situation, and it is to the effect that the borders in existence at the time of birth of a new state remain in force, thereby preventing claims of entities asserting a right to remain in Canada.

1516 But in general if we sort of talked about the savings and the expenses and things like that, I guess the savings come from the ability to have a group of salespeople who have the ability to sell four different radio stations with the correct demo to the correct client at that particular time.

It did, however, have the important effect that, despite the refusal of the government of Quebec to join in its adoption, Quebec has become bound to the terms of a Constitution that is different from that which prevailed previously, particularly as regards provisions governing its amendment, and the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms.
The federal structure adopted at Confederation enabled French-speaking Canadians to form a numerical majority in the province of Quebec, and so exercise the considerable provincial powers conferred by the Constitution Act, 1867 in such a way as to promote their language and culture.
