Québécois nationalism

Québécois nationalism is a movement that promotes the identity, culture, and interests of people in Quebec, emphasizing their distinct French-speaking heritage within Canada. It seeks to preserve Quebec’s language, customs, and political autonomy, sometimes advocating for independence from Canada. This nationalism arises from a desire to maintain Quebec’s unique cultural identity in a predominantly English-speaking country and address historical and political issues related to language rights, sovereignty, and self-governance. It reflects pride in Quebec’s history and aims to ensure its future is shaped by its own values and society.
