Quebec nationalist movement

The Quebec nationalist movement is a political and cultural effort to promote the identity, rights, and independence of Quebec, a mostly French-speaking province in Canada. It emerged to preserve Quebec's language, traditions, and autonomy, sometimes advocating for greater provincial independence or full sovereignty from Canada. The movement has included various groups with different goals—from seeking increased provincial powers within Canada to working toward complete independence. It reflects a desire among some Quebecois to maintain their distinct culture and political control amid the broader Canadian federation.
