	uni.ca - BQ 2000 Programme
		The Bloc Québécois is a sovereigntist party operating on the federal scene whose mission is to promote sovereignty and to defend the rights of the Québec people.
		The workshops, which brought together Bloc members and those of the sovereigntist movement, also helped in coming to an appreciation of the opinions of participants who were not necessarily associated with the sovereigntist cause.
		Sovereigntists share these aspirations, which are unfortunately limited by the existing federal political structure.

	Parizeau's Election Bombshell (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		Parizeau considers Bouchard a latecomer to the sovereigntist movement and, in private, sometimes scathingly compares Bouchard’s days as Canada’s ambassador to France in the mid-1980s with his own activities at that time, rebuilding the then stumbling Parti Québécois.
		Sovereigntist leaders greeted the Parizeau revelations with a mixture of shock, dismay - and denials that anyone else had known of his plans.
		In a well-received speech in the sovereigntist heartland of the Saguenay-Lac St. Jean region last week, he called for a new policy of "national reconciliation." However, he provided few specific details.

	Incoming GG is an FLQ sympathizer : Thunderbay IMC (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		The call comes after an article in a sovereigntist publication that says she and her husband supported Quebec independence and that Jean's spouse, filmmaker Jean-Daniel Lafond, was friendly with former Quebec terrorists.
		Jean and her husband were sovereigntists, many persons believed that,'' said Gilles Rheaume, president of the Quebec-based organization against Canadian corruption and propaganda and a former president of the Societe St-Jean Baptiste.
		The controversy arose after the release of an article in Le Quebecois, the voice of the province's sovereignty watchdogs, said sovereigntists were disappointed by Jean's appointment as Adrienne Clarkson's replacement in September because Jean and Lafond were considered sympathetic to the cause.

	Sean Scallon on the sovereigntist movement in Quebec (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		His return to the premiership of the province should be a lesson to the sovereigntists that it is always darkest before dawn.
		Not only are the sovereigntists now in the minority, but, if a referendum for independence were held today, only 38 percent—the hardliners—would vote for it.
		Sovereigntists were outraged that he made no constitutional demands and failed to engage in the usual Anglo-baiting; they concluded that he was too “Canadien” for their tastes and went right back into the open arms of the PQ.

		New Sovereigntists further assert that some international regimes, notably those involving human rights, mark a sharp break from the historical practice of international law.
		On the process side, New Sovereigntists assert the deficiency of international lawmaking by raising the specter of international bureaucrats who lack accountability within the American constitutional scheme.
		During the twentieth century, the United States was able to defy various international norms only because other countries were unwilling to bear the costs of sanctioning America for its sins; at the same time, international organizations had little power to wield on their own.

	Canadian Dimension / Articles » Why Quebec Says No to War (Pierre Dostie)
		At the same time, the sovereigntist movement is subject to contradictions and opposing strategies, as in the issue of globalization, for example.
		The Quebec sovereigntist movement, led by the PQ, is constantly challenged by this contradiction.
		Yet, sovereigntist aspirations remain and are an inspiration to the working and popular classes, as people link their national aspirations to social aspirations: a more just, more egalitarian and more united society.

	Redefining Native Politics in Canada
		Nevertheless, sovereigntists reject the authority of court injunctions barring them from their ancestral lands.
		The sovereigntist position is not generally shared by the elected leadership of most first nations in B.C. And it is those individuals who are primarily involved in the provincial government's treaty process.
		But the trend to watch is the growing alliance between Native sovereigntists and environmentalists, with non-violent direct action being the strategy of choice.

	babble: Ottawa ordered to reinstate sovereigntist leader
		Not to mention that at its worst and most extreme manifestations the sovereigntist movement has been violent, in case you don't remember the crisis caused by the FLQ in the seventies.
		The sovereigntists can talk about the bad old days, but noone dare mention the more recent bad old days without being labelled all manner of intolerant and bigoted.
		If they were attempting to run an insurrection against Ottawa so they could replace the duly elected representatives with their own people by means of force, then yes, you might have a case for sedition.

	Letters to the Editor
		The sovereigntists have already taken the chance of working with other federalist parties in the hope of seeing Quebec take its rightful place within the Canadian federation.
		Taking the federalist gamble again with the Reform Party or the United Alternative would be turning a blind eye to the experience the BQ has gained on the federal scene over the past eight years, which tends to indicate a real will to centralize the federal government’s powers.
		This means that an alliance with the proponents of the United Alternative will not give the sovereigntists new tools that will help them attain their legitamate main goal, which is political sovereignty for Quebec.

	New governor general must clarify sovereignty position, premiers say
		In the September issue of the sovereigntist publication Le Québécois, novelist Rene Boulanger says Jean and her filmmaker husband, Jean-Daniel Lafond, supported independence 10 years ago.
		Jean has been "soaking for ages in the sovereigntist atmosphere," while Lafond is a "declared sovereigntist," says the article.
		Martin's Quebec lieutenant, federal Minister of Transport Jean Lapierre, also defended the couple, saying the fact that sovereigntists don't like the appointment shows that it must have been the right thing to do.

	L'avenir du Québec vu par Daniel Turp
		For many sovereigntists, as recent polls show, this attitude is neither constructive nor wise and most probably underlies the fact that federalists in Quebec have very little to say about the political future of Quebec.
		Parizeau put it in the National Assembly, their boycott is a pretext, a "faux-fuyant" for not participating and for preferring to hide their heads in the sand on this issue and promote the status quo as they have been doing since the rejection of the Charlottetown accord in October 1992.
		on the ensuing act, both of which constitute large components of the sovereigntist agenda of the new Quebec government.Promoters of the status quo may sit on the sidelines and continue to question the legitimacy of the process or contemplate a parallel process to denigrate the sovereigntist option.

	Comment: A devout Christian and a sovereigntist
		That was the event which saw a sovereigntist government replaced by John Charest's federalist Liberals.

		That legislation is viewed as having pretty much clipped the wings of the constitutional aspects of Quebec sovereigntist aspirations.

	Daniel Turp on the Future of Quebec
		Rodrigue Biron and Gérard Latulippe have called on the BQ to take part in the creation of a United Alternative, but we feel it is inappropriate for the Bloc to take what would amount to a giant step backward in terms of opportunities for sovereigntists to promote their political agenda on the federal stage.
		The people of Quebec will be that much more open to the sovereigntist option if the Bloc Québécois focuses its attention first and foremost on modernizing its blueprint for a new country.
		This means that an alliance with the proponents of the United Alternative will not give the sovereigntists new tools that will help them attain their legitimate main goal, which is political sovereignty for Quebec.

		Pettigrew said today's sovereigntists who are more open to minorities, such as openly gay leadership candidate Andre Boisclair, will have to submit to hardline elements in the party that only want to promote francophone Quebec culture, he said.

	CAW - TCA CANADA : News
		The fact that these delegates would respond so warmly to a sovereigntist is a telling sign, I believe, of a shift in attitudes towards Quebec within the left in English Canada.
		Some kind of electoral co-operation between the NDP and the BQ in Quebec could reinforce their legislative co-operation in the House of Commons.
		For example, some powerful party figures criticized Layton during the election for his stance against the Clarity Act (even though it was Layton, not his critics, who reflected official party policy, and even though the claim that the Clarity Act had "demolished" separatism was itself demolished by the BQ's triumph).

		There is an everlasting debate inside and of the sovereigntist forces on the usefulness a party in Ottawa that in practice take power because it runs only in 75 Quebec ridings.
		Some sovereigntists in Quebec share that and support the NDP (Ducasse has voted the PQ in 2003 and for independence in 1995) or even other parties but a majority are behind the Bloc.

		Even though I’m not sure “sovereigntist” is an actual word, it does embody the tried and true doctrine of divine providence and avoids the problematic aspects of inferring that you are lock-step with the thoughts of just one guy.
		I fear that “sovereigntist” may be hampered by requirements to qualify it–”high sovereigntist” versus “low sovereigntist,” for example.
		If it is a discussion that involves or is directed to the general public, then really either the Calvinist or Sovereigntist (I hate spelling that word!!!) labels are probably inappropriate and problematic, unless it is being used within the context of describing what either represents.

	Foreign Affairs - What Happened to the "New Sovereigntism"? - Peter J. Spiro
		At the time "The New Sovereigntists" appeared in Foreign Affairs in late 2000, scholarly defenses of unilateralist constitutional doctrines were making a splash in the legal academy and with Republican think-tank agonists waiting for their turn in the White House.
		Soon after, the Bush administration whisked sovereigntist scholars and fellow travelers into key positions at the departments of State, Defense, and Justice and gave them wide latitude to put their anti-internationalist agenda to work.
		Although the memoranda (several of which were drafted by leading sovereigntist legal scholar John Yoo, who was on leave at the Justice Department from the University of California) purport to argue the law on its own terms, they are almost transparently driven by the sovereigntist premise that international law is more fiction than reality.

		Of course, this was bizarre and stupid, and if I felt charitable, I would say that it may very well have been for the consumption of the ROC than for Quebec.
		Gilles Duceppe feeds a sovereigntist story to keep the restless party activists happy, but his campaign is rather Gomery-oriented.
		For a highly sovereigntist paper, that’s pretty low; certainly if this were a referendum, they’d be writing about the National Question every day.
