What If Quebec Voted For Independence in 1995? 

That’s pretty accurate.

Absolument et plus... je ferai mon comentaire sur le sujet plus approfondie. Les repercusions majeurs et la peur of some...

The Quebec nationalists were trying too be clever? They knew some Quebecer wanted full independence & wanted their support, some only wanted greater autonomy & they wanted their support also, they knew the "non-Francophone" population would fear independence & they hoped to pacify & confuse them w/ ambivalent language. One wonders if a simple straight up independence vote would have won?

what would anyone gain from quebec being independent

@@hehehsha2904 It depends. I'd vote for independence if it meant a far more leftist country. If it meant Canada, but French, like it was in 1995, fuck that. You have to realize that the Quebec independence movement historically is an unsteady alliance of Nationalists, Racists and Conservatives, as well as revolutionaries, "mondialistes", leftists and Socialists. I feel that this isn't understood in the anglophone community... the commentaries and feuds weren't reported on by the Anglophone media...

But would Quebec cry to the Canadian government for money and support if they separated??

theyd still see more economic opportunities in joining the states and wouldn’t like dealing with ottawa and ontario’s oversight and align a lot more with the us so theyd definitely see the opportunity and join

Kinda like the anglos butchering the hell out of Montréal (THE "T" IS LITERALLY SILENT,WE LITERALLY PRONOUNCE IT "Mont-réal" but the extra "t" added after "mon" is just for the french word "mont" and yet they still butcher it by ssying "Mon-t-real"

It was a close vote in 1995. But if you're talking about 2018, you're absolutely right. I haven't seen the numbers lately, but my understanding is that support for secession has only plummeted since 1995 in Quebec, the only province where that's taken seriously as an idea by any organized political movement. As an American, spending time abroad, I'm always shocked when people bring up Texas as an example of an American secessionist movement. What they don't get is that it's not a serious idea in Texas. Texans have a lot of state pride, which is unusual - you don't see that in Illinois or Ohio or North Dakota. All that "Republic of Texas" talk is kind of like an inside joke among Texans, a way to express that state pride, but it's emphatically not a serious political pursuit. I'm thinking it's in the lower single-digits in terms of actual support. Knowing about that example, from personal experience, would lead me to be a bit skeptical when I hear about secessionist desires in the other Canadian provinces, because I wouldn't be surprised to learn it was kind of like the non-serious Republic of Texas talk you hear there.

absolutely agree. however, in a generation or two, the situation will be very different. there's a very low chance that the atlantic provinces would remain part of a country from which they're physically separated by 1000+km of Québec. Within one generation I see them either creating their own country, joining Québec, or joining the US. As for Ontario and west, they could certainly survive, but I think within 2 generations you'll start to see a real support for joining the US. Economic reasons (closer economic links between the US and Canadian provinces than between canadian provinces), cultural reasons (without Québec, we lose a cultural powerhouse and one of the few things that distinguishes Canadian culture from US culture). Not nearly as guaranteed as in the east, but still, I see difficulties in maintaining the country long term.

Fair enough, given a few decades public opinion can change. I could certainly see the maritimes wanting to go their own way (though they'd be pretty screwed economically). And I could see the provinces west of Ontario getting fed up with them running the show and consider starting their own country. I still doubt that any of them would join the US though.

+snufflufikist I disagree with this, I live is the east, People love the rights are freedoms of canada also If we were to join the USA we would lose our great healthcare. also trump is ruining our relations with the us too

d4s0n yo Trudeau is ruining your Canada as we speak.

While that's a mistake it's not out of the question, French people make up a large portion of NB and they don't really play ball with the rest of the country when it comes to anglo vs franco, NB would likely split in two

The French population of New Brunswick is less than 10%, and provincial borders are not something of debate.

Actually, 31% of NB is french.

Totally incorrect, while most of us in north east New-Brunswick are french, we do not share the same values of our brothers from the west. That said, we/I respect them and their choices, but we have other values of our own which are not inclusive.

I'm from NB, and there's a lot less of a split between french and English here I would say.

I don't know how old you are, I don't know if you knew the time of Meech Lake on the attempts at reconciliation between Quebec and the rest of Canada, Quebec asked for the minimum to be able to keep and save its language and its culture, Trudeau (the father) and Jean Chrétien sabotaged the agreement one night with the other provinces and in the morning Quebec was isolated and the project had just failed. Very few Canadians are aware of this story that Quebec has felt like a betrayal. A few weeks after the polls showed that 62% of Quebecers would vote YES to separation from Canada. Today with the Supreme Court wanting to invalidate Quebec's laws 21 and 96, the Quebec separatist movement is regaining strength and nationalist sentiment is increasingly present in the media and voting intentions.

Yeah, but the 1980 referendum wasn't as close as the 1995's

Québec’s 1912 borders included Labrador.

@@jbqu3142 I should have been more clear. I meant the borders prior to the passage of the Quebec Boundaries Extension Act, 1912, that transferred the District of Ungava to Quebec. The region known as Labrador and currently part of Newfoundland was NOT part of Quebec in 1912. It hadn't been part of Quebec since 1791 and was given to the control of the British colony of Newfoundland in 1809.

Really? What would become of all the infrastructure Québec built, the roads, the James Bay region (Jamesie, in French) mega hydroelectric complex for which a treaty ( La Paix des Braves) was signed by the Cree First Nation? They get over 600 million $ yearly and have become the most prosperous First Nation. Now, count jobs, allocations and welfare money... In a free Québec, they would go on enjoying the same standard of living. The fear of independance is a result of the canadian propaganda and the fact that northern nations have been made utterly dependant on the federal who, strangely, treated them like dirt (see the odious Indian Act). I have Innu ancestry and I can say that they would be better off in an independant Québec, where they would be treated as partners and not like children.

@@bingodeluxe Oh please. An independent Quebec would not be some paradise for anyone, let alone the Cree and and other First Nations peoples. Hydro Quebec would have to continue to pay a significant sum to the new Cree territory. It isn't like the company could just pack up the dams and move them. You think taxes are high currently in Quebec? An independent Quebec would lose the transfer payment it currently receives, which is more than it pays to the federal government in taxes. It would have to come up with its own military forces. It would take on part of the current national debt on top of its current provincial debt of almost $225 billion. Unless it established its own currency, it would have to keep the Canadian dollar or choose to use some other currency like the US dollar. Either way it would have absolutely no say in monetary policy. Have the First Nations been treated badly in the past? Yes. But Quebec was not guiltless in such treatment of First Nations people. The Mohawk, Cree, and Innuit voted 96% against Quebec separation in the 1995 referendum.

"nicely" That is omitting the terrorist cell that planted bombs, kidnapped and killed a Canadian Minister for the independance of Quebec ^^

TheWaross From 1963 to 1979, the RCMP (Royal Canadian Mounted Police) fought relentlessly against the independence movement in Quebec. Manipulations, provocations, burglaries, arson, conspiracies, these are some of the most famous misdeeds of the RCMP during this secret war. In 1970, after the assassination of the federal minister Pierre Laporte, the antiterrorist section of the Montreal police recruits Carole Devault to infiltrate the FLQ (Front de liberation du Québec) and discovers where James Richard Cross is sequestered. To prove her credibility within the group, the young woman does not hesitate to organize a hold-up. But its activities will not stop with the end of the October crisis. It will set up cell cells of the FLQ and commit with accomplices a series of terrorist acts. The police will thus succeed in maintaining a climate of fear and insecurity among the population and slowing down the independence movement. In 1972, the RCMP set up, with the help of the CIA, the Ham-to-the-list operation of 60,000 party members. No less than 44 sequestrators of this extraordinary and totally illegal mission. On the night of July 26, 1974, survivor of the first terrorist attack for more than a year and a half. The target is the home of the heiress of Steinberg supermarkets. The police discovered that the attacker was an RCMP officer, Robert Samson, who worked for the anti-terrorist squad. At his trial, the man revealed that this terrorist act was not the only one. His confession will trigger the Keable and McDonald inquiry into the Canadian secret service. We see that the RCMP regularly uses illegal methods to come to an end. On May 7, 1992, Claude Morin, Minister for Intergovernmental Affairs and close ally of René Lévesque. and "French Menuet", he received over $ 12,000 from the RCMP.

I'm sure the government of Canada has something to do with writing Canada's history textbooks.

Vivre le Québec lîbre mais pas Socialiste

Enough taxpayer money to pay for the basics. Enough profits for the major companies. But when they want a new highway or arena (Videotron Centre), they expect other Provincial taxpayers to chip in.

Honesty if the Berlin Wall fell independently without consent from the USSR no matter how well reformed. Would likely be seen as a failure of the reformists by hardliners, the miliary and the KGB and there would have a coup against the reformists leaders and a very likely chance of a conventional war. I was actually imagining Moscow would encourage reforms in their satellite states and allow the Eastern bloc to survive mostly intact to this day. Expect for Germany where the GDR would enter a union with West Germany a few years off from the present.

What if Gorbachev could have transformed the USSR from a dictatorial communist country into a democratic socialist one?

Quebec

Man I moved to Ontario and everyone says. “ so you’re a quobeker” 🤦

@Hakohito Hell no, it's 'Keh-bec', just put it in google translate and you'll see. Where tf did you get that 'Ko' from

to me it's "Kuh-Beck"

As a native-level speaker of both English and French who is from Quebec, I can safely say that the French pronunciation of Quebec by French speakers is roughly "Kay-beck", due to the acute accent on the first E (Québec). Anglo-Quebeckers pronounce the province's name differently, both from francophones but also from other Canadians. In the Quebec English dialect/accent (it's a bit of both), the first vowel sound is more of an "uh" that borders on being a glottal stop (Kuh-beck or almost K'beck). It almost sounds like the acute accent was replaced with a grave accent (Quèbec) in how they say it. Anglo-Quebeckers follow the two quick syllable pacing much like francophones and never draw out the syllables like other English speakers often do. I've heard some Ontarians try to approximate the Anglo-Quebecker way of saying and getting something like "Kobec" (getting the first vowel not quite right, with it morphing closer to an O sound) but most non-Quebecker anglophones will introduce a W sound into the first syllable (Kwuh-beck) and some Westerners will pronounce the first E as a long E for some reason (Kwee-beck). They also overstress and stretch out the syllables in ways that sound really strange to a local from the province. Basically, if you hear a W sound in the province's name, the speaker is definitely not from there. No one in Quebec, whether their mother tongue is English or French, ever uses anything but a French sounding of the QU in the name (i.e. a K sound, never ever a KW like in English).

More like enough money if the french didnt lose the 7 years war most of canada and central usa all the way to new orleans were french area ,after the defeat at the seven years war king louis sent his army to avenge the loss as a reinforcment to the american revolutionary army and then bankrupt the country and that was the main cause for the french revolution some years after the revolutions napolèon took power but in that time france were still broke from the revolution so money was the problem

Quebec independance is a great opportunities to give more power to native over their land.

Most of, if not all, Treaty territories cross provincial boarders. If Quebec was, or were, to separate it would most likely cause a domino effect between Canada, Quebec its self, and all First nations treaty territories this would also be compounded with all the issues of unceded land disputes. And another kicker, Canada is constitutionally obligated to uphold the treaty agreements and treaty rights.

The FN would be well advised to rethink their position by taking a look at what a real treaty done with mutual respect can lead to: "la paix des braves" between Quebec and the James Bay Cree made it so that the Cree are thriving, while their Ontarian conterpart are literally in a third world country standard of living. Anyway, it's more a negociation tactics than anything; they don't care for any allegiances they want to be paid the most. They are just playing hard to get.

FN treaty rights and relations are extremely complex. For the example of James Bay Cree Nation doing better recently I compare the smuggling routes general poverty of Mohawk Nations on the border between Quebec and USA with the Rama Nation near Toronto. Rama is doing really well with day trips to their casino from the big city and the Mohawk make illegal tobacco.

​@@email5023yes it does. Every nation has a right to auto determination.

It only works in smaller countries with concentrated populations. Canada is a large country with a small scattered population so it can be difficult for everyone to get access to learn Quebecois French.

Where I am from in BC, French is taught from grade 4 to grade 8 and becomes optional in grade 9 which means you can continue learning French or choose another language. (I find the most popular languages to be French and Spanish) But if you are in French immersion, then you start in kindergarten onwards until high school because you might choose to not continue in the French courses. Unlike the other comments, I am sure that none of us English program learners would ever bully or make fun of people in French immersion, in fact I’m a tad envious that I didn’t get to sign up when I was younger.

Idk what you're talking about but Quebec is way way more socialist than any Canadian Province. It even has the highest taxes and still manages not gather enough funds to run its socialist policies.

Dude, high taxes is a Capitalist thing. If it were Socialist, it would only tax the rich and have no taxes at all for the poor. But clearly this is not the case. Ontario is the most Socialist province and i should know since i LIVE HERE! As a poor when i do my yearly tax report i actual get money from the provincial government. Québec would never do that. Look up the law 101 of Québec, its another Capitalist rule that you will only see in Québec. The reason Québec is always low is because it spends everything in its military and in its french school/propaganda and it build way too many huge projects in the middle of nowhere. But if we anger them by not giving them money then they deploy their military and by the way, Québec has over 60% of the entire Canadian military so... We have no choice.

@@tusk3260 The Question of Quebec - Our Position swky.co/LEOfan

The reason why the ruling party has control over the executive branch is because Canada, like the UK, has a parliamentary system of government. In such a system, there is no separation of powers like the American system because the executive branch is derived from the legislative one. IOW, the PM is also an MP. A US President, on the other hand, cannot hold any other office while serving. The fact remains, however, that Canadian provinces have many more rights than US states because there has been greater devolution of power in Canada than in America which, IMO, is probably a good thing.

What I find interesting, Ben, is that during the first PQ Administration in Quebec which lasted from 1976-1985, then-PM. Trudeau had stated that Canada will not degenerate into a civil war to keep Quebec from seceding like the US had done with the Confederacy. I don't know if Canadian provinces have the right to secede but I do know that no US state has that right (Texas used to when it joined the Union in 1845 but because it fought on the side of the Confederacy during the Civil War, it lost that right during Reconstruction). The fact that Ottawa in 1980 and 1995 permitted a referendum on Quebec independence proves my point. No US state would ever be allowed to hold such a referendum.

In the case of the US, the Supreme Court ruled way back in 1869 in Texas v White that secession was unconstitutional when it decided that "Texas (and the rest of the Confederacy) never left the Union during the Civil War, because a state cannot unilaterally secede from the United States". IOW, the Confederacy's act of secession was never recognized by the US government. Think of the US as the Hotel California; once you check in, you can never leave!!!
