Québec sovereignty

Québec sovereignty refers to the movement advocating for Québec, a province in Canada, to become an independent nation. Proponents argue that Québec, primarily French-speaking, should have full control over its political and economic affairs, reflecting its unique culture and history. This movement has roots in historical tensions between English and French speakers in Canada. Supporters of sovereignty believe that independence would allow Québec to better preserve its language and identity, while opponents warn of potential economic risks and political instability. The issue has been the subject of referendums and ongoing political debate in Canada.
