After two referendums, Quebec has overwhelmingly failed to gain its independence from Canada, but the movement somehow won't die.

What are your thoughts on independence, and what has Quebec gained despite failed efforts up to this point?

I don't know why they keep failing to gain independence they should have. Maybe economic reasons, I'm not sure. I'll read up.

First it's not a referendum for independance but for sovereignty. The reason why they will still have one referendum in 5 years is because in the first referendum, Trudeau ( who was against the sovereignty ) and his team use illegal politic manners like he paid empty bank trucks to leave Quebec to let think that we are losing our money because of the sovereignty. He also promised that if we vote for non ( no ) we will be a distinct nation, of course he didn't do it. In the second referendum, the results was too equal, 49.4% of yes and 50.6%. But Ottawa had accredited 43 900 new citizens of Quebec in the year preceding the referendum, including 11 500 on the month preceding the vote. Usually, approximately 20 000 immigrants are received citizens annually.

Wow, sounds like what the Southwest USA will eventually do

They didn't overwhelmingly fail though. In the 2nd referendum, the pro-seperatist movement got 49.x% of the vote. It was a razor sharp victory for the federalists.

They haven't gained much, because the pro-Seperatists also happen to b very anti-business, they have scared off a lot of foreign investment. Though they do gain cash from Ottawa in the form of equalization payments and other goodies like that Canoe museum. You could argue I suppose that threatening to secede from Canada, will get you some more favors in order to quell that sentiment.

Out of a class of 42 I was the only one who decided to write a paper For Quebec seperating within the next 50 years.

Quebec is already completely French. They also have slightly different laws or slightly altered laws from the rest of the country. I think they pretty much already have Independence/Sovereignty but it's just not "official" yet.

I just think it keeps getting knocked down because the rest of the country doesn't want to be "split into two." But that's just what I think. I also think there would be a lot of work maintaining a country almost in the middle of another.

But I do hope that it one day passes and becomes official. I love Montréal and Québec City.
