		This was cause for celebration among many French-speaking Quebecers, but resulted in an acceleration of the migration of the province's anglophone population and related economic activity towards Toronto.
		With the failure of the Charlottetown Accord and the Meech Lake Accord, two packages of proposed amendments to the Canadian constitution, the question of Quebec's status remained unresolved, and the PQ called the 1995 Quebec referendum proposing negotiations on sovereignty.

		His Parti Québécois government also passed the Quebec Charter of the French Language (also known as "Bill 101"), whose goal was (and still is) to make French the common language of all Quebecers at a time when the language of the English minority dominated the economic scene.
		While many Quebec intellectuals (especially sovereigntists) are much inspired by the French philosophy and high culture, Lévesque was a renowned lover of the United States of America (and the English-speaking world).

	Quebec sovereignty movement - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Quebec sovereignty movement is a political movement aimed at attaining sovereignty for Quebec, currently a province of Canada.
		However, in the 1995 Quebec referendum, in which the sovereignty option was narrowly rejected, the notion of some form of economic association with the rest of Canada was still envisaged (continuing use of the Canadian dollar and military, for example).
		There is no mass conservative movement in Quebec's political culture on the provincial level, due notably to strong government interventionism and Keynesianism shared by all parties since the 1960s (the so-called "Quebec Consensus" since the Quiet Revolution), and the province's Catholic heritage.

	"AND Quebec": Canadian Literature and Its Quebec Questions
		The current anglophone-Canadian impatience with francophone Quebec, and desire to get on with defining a Canada in which francophone Quebec political/cultural aspirations are not major elements, have been latent in anglophone-Canadian culture for most of this century.
		This desire to go on with or without francophone Quebec is not a simple one, nor one entered into with much articulation and consciousness, but rather one that comes from a history of specific institutional structures, practices, assumptions, discursive problems, ideologies, and global power changes.
		Her study of "the institution of the literary in Quebec" does not attempt to address Quebec literatures written in English or other languages, nor does it comment on this omission.

		While continuing weaknesses in Quebec and urban areas rightfully prompted most observers to consider a Conservative majority government to be mathematically difficult to achieve, early on, Harper's stated goal was to achieve one nonetheless.
		Though the Conservatives were ahead of the Liberals in Quebec, they remained far behind the Bloc Québecois, and additional gains in rural and suburban Ontario would have been be necessary to meet Stephen Harper's goal.
		Several issues—some long-standing (notably fiscal imbalance, the gun registry, abortion, and Quebec sovereigntism), others recently brought forth by media coverage or court decisions (the sponsorship scandal, same-sex marriages, income trusts, or Canada-United States relations)—have taken the fore in debate among the parties and also influenced aspects of the parties’ electoral platforms.

		Separatism is the opportunistic political cudgel in Quebec used by parties who prefer not to run on their record or campaign promises of more substance.
		Quebec federalist politicians are almost all decentralists to an extent that may only be rivalled in Alberta, and even then, no Alberta politician is going to call Alberta their “nation”; in the broad sense that I repeatedly and regularly see it being used in Québec media.
		Besides, like many Quebec intellectuals, he may be deeply convinced that such a movement can be contained by the almost natural social democratic bent of Quebec society.
