	Quebec nationalism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Quebec nationalism is the subject of many international studies together with the contemporary nationalism of Scotland, Catalonia and other non-sovereign regions of the world.
		The rise of a Catholic nationalism, which was pervasive throughout Quebec society until fairly recently, according to its opponents marked a century of religious obscurantism.
		People who believe that Quebec nationalism is still ethnic, have often expressed their opinion that the worldview of Quebec's nationalists is insular and parochial and concerned with preserving a "pure laine" population of white francophones within the province.

	Quebec Nationalism - Quebec History
		A nation is a community of individuals cemented together by a sense of solidarity and wishing to perpetuate its existence in the future; normally, it does this through some form of political action although it is possible to imagine a nation without a political context.
		A state may thus accommodate several nations and the use of the word nation as a substitute for state, as in the expression the United Nations or the earlier League of Nations, is somewhat abusive and misleading.
		In essence, nationalism divides the universe into two groups: those who are part of the group, that is those that you would think about when you would think of “we”, and the rest of the world that is not part of the group and which would be referred as “they”.

	Cambridge/Edinburgh Talk
		But this goes against the recognition of a Quebec as a nation, for if we were to accept the national character of Quebec’s political community, then we should ask immigrants to acquire the common public language of this political community, namely French.
		The Quebec superior court judge interpreted this provision in a very surprising way, by allowing that a child could attend English schools in Quebec, as long as one of his brothers or sisters would be educated for a couple of weeks in an English school somewhere else in Canada.
		The Quebec culture is flourishing, the economy of Montreal is rapidly growing and Quebeckers are increasingly unhappy by the intransigence of the federal government.

	Global Economic Systems: Quebec, A Case Study (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		This was the earliest notion of Francophone nationalism in Quebec.
		Quebec politicians believe that entering global economies is beneficial for their province's prosperity and success, but Quebec's culture should be recognized accordingly so that assimilation does not occur (NECPQ, 1994).
		With the increase of global economic integration and closer associations with foreign nations, Quebec's nationalism is the province's way of improving its domestic economy, and at the same time, expose the globe to the distinct character and flavour of the territory (Quebec Government 1995).

	All about Quebec
		Quebec is Canada's oldest Province and was originally settled by the French, who we remember were the first European settlers to arrive on the continent.
		Unfortunately, Quebec was colonized during the dying days of the French monarchy and as a result early Quebec society was shaped according to that regime's values and ideals.
		In this context it became more popular than ever to blame Quebec's problems on the federal government, and thus increasingly large amounts of Quebecois began to believe that the obvious solution to the current turmoil was to secede from Canada, and establish a sovereign, independent Quebec nation.

		The modernization of Quebec politics occurred with the election of Maurice Duplessis and the Union Nationale in 1944.
		Quebec's desire to separate from Canada intensified further in the summer of 1967 when Charles de Gaulle, president of France, came to Canada to take in the festivities of Expo 67 (the world's fair) in Montreal.
		Although Quebec refused to sign the agreement, which had been negotiated and vetoed in its absence, the province was legally bound by the terms of the new Constitution.

	Quebec Nationalism, Western Alienation, and National Reconciliation
		By the time of the 1986 national census, the demographic mixes of the four Western provinces were significantly different from that of Canada as a whole.
		Quebec can decide who will govern this country, but more importantly how this country will be governed." Much of the frustration among Western Canadians derives from the reality that no-one could credibly say the same about our region, even though it now holds approximately a million more people than Quebec.
		Gibbins also found the distinct society for Quebec proposal offensive, partly because the language of the motion passed in the Commons said: "The House encourages all components of the legislative and executive branches of government to take note of this recognition and be guided in their conduct accordingly".

	Quebec in the Electronic Passport
		The people of Quebec are very protective of their French culture and language and work hard to protect it.
		Quebec has strict language laws that are enforced by "language police." Laws dictate that all road signs in Quebec must be written in French, despite the fact that most Quebecois speak English and that English is the dominant language of the rest of Canada.
		Quebec would be seen as a neighbor rather than part of the family.

	Nationalism
		While nationalism is a strong force in both the US and Canada, the expression of it is quite different on people divided by the arbitrary border line.
		Ironically, a reason why Canadian nationalism has always seemed so undefinable beyond being "not American” is that Canada still is today, as it was at its birth, a nation of people in denial of their own Americanness.
		Quebec nationalism is perhaps the biggest irritant to Canadian nationalists, because without Quebec, Canada would be much smaller and much less culturally different from the United States, overall.

	NIH: Quebec Nationalism in a Nutshell
		The underlying theme of Quebec nationalism is that the purity of the Quebec nation is being sullied by contact with anglophones.
		Concern for the purity of the French language in Quebec goes to the length of maintaining a government office to protect linguistic purity, and there is also the annual ritual of the wringing of the hands over the latest report of the language commissioner.
		At bottom the myth of Quebec nationalism is a myth of a world without the English.

	THE BATTLE OF THE FLAG: QUEBEC 1 / CANADA 0
		Guy Bertrand has famously observed that nationalism is the new Quebec religion, which presumably arose to fill the vacuum left by the sudden collapse of the power of the Catholic Church forty years ago.
		His war against Quebec nationalism has all the earmarks of a jihad, conducted with all the fervour of the recent convert that he is. He takes his war to the courts in an anti-democratic attempt to force Quebeckers to remain Canadian whether they want to or not.
		According to him, Canadian nationalism is an attempt to keep the country together and would not have arisen except in response to this menace to the Canadian polity.

	Canada, Québec, and the Uses of Nationalism. 2nd ed. by S. Dales Standen (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		Basing the justification for a nation state on ethnicity has always been, and always will be, an unworkable fantasy because clear ethnic boundaries cannot be drawn and attempts to do so always arouse the resistance of ethnic minorities that are implicitly excluded from membership in the nation.
		The only workable (ie, just, equitable, and humane) justification for a nation state is a political or civic one in which cultural or ethnic plurality is protected by having membership based on adherence to individual rights unrelated to group identities.
		Most attention is focused on the transformation of francophone nationalism engendered by the Quiet Revolution, most significantly on its secularization with the provincial state replacing the church as the defender of the nation – l’état-nation replacing l’église-nation.

	Lessons of the 1972 Quebec General Strike
		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.
		While Quebec labour is today battling against yet another right-wing Liberal government, under Jean Charest, the PQ has shown during its repeated terms in office that it is equally a class enemy of the workers.
		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.

	Papineau to Bouchard: Quebec Nationalism
		It is because of that that I decided to look back at the origins of Quebec Nationalism from the roots to now through revolution, referendums, and terrorism.
		The Rebellion in Lower Canada (Quebec) was for independence from the Crown.
		When the 92 Resolutions, a list of economic and political reforms, is refused by the British Parliament, Papineau and his supporters (called the Patriotes) begin rebellion against the crown in order to form a Canadian Republic, and they even adopted a flag and emblem (later reused by the FLQ).

	Québec Independence
		On the one hand, nations are declaring independence at a rate not seen since the early 1960's.
		This is because nationalist movements, whose agendas are often couched in the imagery of national languages, costumes, flags and history, are primarily driven by economic rather than cultural factors.
		Once nationalism is perceived as being primarily influenced by Economics, events which cannot be explained solely from a cultural analysis point of view can be better understood.

	CRInfo - Article Summary of Quebec Nationalism: the Quest for Identity by Interaction (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		Both discuss the feelings of not being able to express one's own identity within their hometowns, while separately they explore how identity is shaped by laws and surrounding cultural practices.
		Francophones felt that they would now be considered just "one more little group," while Anglophones thought multiculturalism caused them to be "treated as one of a number of minorities." Actions since then are a result of both groups acting out of fear that their cultural experience and identity may be erased.
		Taylor concludes that in it's search for national identity, Quebec cannot ignore the fact that others live within its boarders as well.
