Quebec sovereignty

Quebec sovereignty is the movement advocating for Quebec to become an independent country, separate from Canada. Supporters believe that Quebec should have full control over its laws, economy, and cultural identity, reflecting its predominantly French-speaking population. The movement has led to referendums, notably in 1980 and 1995, where Quebecers voted on independence, though both ballots resulted in remaining part of Canada. The debate continues, balancing Quebec's desire for self-determination with Canada's constitutional unity. Sovereignty supporters often emphasize cultural preservation, economic autonomy, and political self-rule as key reasons for independence.
