    Quebec war 1995 ziemlich nahe daran, für die Unabhängigkeit zu stimmen

      How has the sentiment evolved since then, and what is it like today with the big satan lurking to the south?

      From what I heard, if the yes side would have managed to get just enough votes to win, the Canadian government likely would have argued the question on the ballot was too difficult to understand and the margin is far too narrow to sign off on something as strong as independence.

      Basing such a massive decision on a 50%+1 vote margin seems incredibly stupid.

      Somehow I doubt that Quebec would vote for independence *now*.

      The current US government would like nothing more than to see Canada come apart. They secretly met with Alberta separatists last year. Wouldn’t surprise me if they’ve done the same in Quebec.

      “Do you agree that Quebec should become sovereign after having made a formal offer to Canada for a new economic and political partnership within the scope of the bill respecting the future of Quebec and of the agreement signed on June 12, 1995?”

      That’s what Quebeckers voted on. This led to a significant legal framework called the Clarity Act. Presently, questions on independence cannot propose a different kind of partnership, only independence with no caveats. This is important to consider in the Albertan case

      I’m proud to have voted no in that referendum as I had just turned 18 about 3 months before it took place. Now I live in Toronto! 😆

      I wonder why the result went that way, I assumed very little people live in the northern red part.

      If you are limiting this to one decimal place, then the no side should be 50.6%, since the official results are listed as 50.58% to 49.42%

      Yah this is like American electoral maps.

      Coz the thing is that geography cant vote….

      60% of Francophones voted ‚yes‘ in 1995. Those who keep this political project alive wanted the country.

      I remember watching the results come in on CBC. They had a little bar indicator on the bottom of the screen with the 50% point marked and a little needle that would swing back and forth as polls came in. I sat there with a friend staring at that needle and feeling axienty all night.

      And what’s going on in Alberta is definitely stirring up a new desire to try this again. Who hates the Liberal Feds more than Alberta? Quebec.

      Move to Quebec and you’ll become a separatist in about three weeks. Accept my challenge!

      I was in the army stationed in northern NY and listened to that polling on the radio the evening of that vote. Was quite a thrilling evening to listen to those results.

      As a Canadian, unlike the idea of Alberta independence, I have to say that Quebec independence at least made sense from a cultural and historical standpoint though I’m glad they’re still with us.

      I was 10 when this happened. I was in Ontario taking French immersion. All the FI teachers at my school were from Quebec. Every room had the big TV cart with the news on during class. I just recall how saddened all the teachers were when this result came out. Really made me question why the hell am I learning their language if they hate being Canadian so much?

      I left the program a year later. It really made an impact on me as a 10 year old just starting to figure out the world and notice news and events.
