 Pierre E. Trudeau: Quebec and the Canadian Constitution - Readings - Quebec History   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-05)
Born on October 18, 1919, Pierre Trudeau was the first Prime Minister of Canada from the XXth century; he was to reflect a new and modern Canada with which the electors were to relate easily.
On May 20, 1980 a referendum was held in Quebec over the future of the province, and the people of Quebec were asked to give the mandate to their provincial government to negotiate sovereignty-association.
The use of these terms in Quebec in the context of the referendum appeared to signal a softening of policy, and a dedication to commit the federal government to some form of decentralisation and to a formal recognition of the special character of Quebec in the constitution.

Macdonald paid attention to Quebec, made certain that it got its fair share of patronage, stayed away as much as possible from contentious issues, always kept the counsel of a strong lieutenant from Quebec (Cartier, Chapleau, Langevin) and manoeuvred reasonably well through the minefield of sectional issues.
The irony was that, though Trudeau continously scorned nationalism in Quebec, he was one of the main beneficiaries of it, as his compatriots continued to vote for him, at least in part, because he was "from Quebec".

 Reference re Secession of Quebec, 1998 CanLII 793 (S.C.C.)
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.
