Here we go again, I think all Canadians on here remember the 1995 scare, and the Front Liberation Quebecois terrorist crisis in the 1960s-1980s. I've been hearing for two years now the referendum is in May, and Steven Harper has declared Quebec a nation within a nation. Canada's future is literally hanging in the balance right now.
I wonder what Bloc Quebecois would do, or if they may join Parti Quebecois.

2 referendums is enough. It's crazy that every time that the PQ gets elected they hold yet another referendum.

I think support for soverignty is low right now so any question probably wouldn't pass.

I remember the 1995 referendum very well. It was so close. 50/50 practically.

49/50!

All I remember was my parents exchanged all our money into American dollars. And the streets were empty.

I also learned in Canadian History class the natives planned an "invasion" on Quebec City and Montreal, and were going to take over the airports in northern Quebec.
