Quebec Independence Referendum

The Quebec Independence Referendum is a vote held in Quebec, Canada, where residents decide whether the province should become an independent country or remain part of Canada. It reflects ongoing debates about cultural identity, language, and political autonomy. The referendum is typically organized by the provincial government, and for independence to occur, a majority of voters must choose "Yes." While several referendums have taken place, none have resulted in Quebec becoming fully independent. The process is a significant expression of Quebecers’ desire for self-determination and influences broader discussions about regional identity within Canada.
