Referendum on the Future of Quebec

The Referendum on the Future of Quebec was a vote held in 1995 by Quebec residents to decide whether the province should become independent from Canada. The main question was whether Quebec should separate and form its own country. The referendum was part of ongoing debates about Quebec’s cultural identity, language, and political autonomy. Ultimately, the "No" side narrowly won, so Quebec remained part of Canada, but the vote highlighted ongoing divisions and fueled discussions about Quebec’s place within the country.
