Quebec Independence Movement

The Quebec Independence Movement is a political effort by many Quebecers to establish the province as an independent nation separate from Canada. Rooted in a distinct language, culture, and history, supporters seek greater control over laws, policies, and identity. The movement has led to referendums, notably in 1980 and 1995, where citizens voted on independence, though both results favored remaining part of Canada. While some advocates pursue full independence, others seek greater autonomy within the federation. The movement reflects ongoing debates about cultural preservation, political representation, and national identity.
