Parti Quebecois promise referendum if elected

#1 Postby conestogo_flood » Mon Feb 19, 2007 2:46 pm

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.

Quebec election campaign to revisit separation

Feb 19, 2007 — OTTAWA (Reuters) - The question of whether Canada will remain one country will hang in the balance again as the mainly French-speaking province of Quebec heads into an election campaign this week.

Quebec's political parties continued to trot out star candidates ahead of an expected announcement on Wednesday that Quebecers will go to the polls in late March.

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.
