| | Aboriginal Peoples and the 1995 Quebec Referendum: A Survey of the Issues (BP412e) |
 | | The injunction was later overturned by the Quebec Court of Appeal. | | | Before an appeal to the Supreme Court was heard, the federal and Quebec governments, the Grand Council of the Crees (of Quebec), and the Northern Quebec Inuit Association reached an out-of-court settlement. | | | In early October 1995, First Nations Chiefs, in a statement entitled "Reaffirmation of Aboriginal Peoples of Quebec and Labrador’s Right to Co-Exist in Peace and Friendship," articulated their resistance to the forcible inclusion of aboriginal people in a new, independent state, arguing that it would be contrary to international law. |

| | Canadian Court Rules Quebec Cannot Secede on Its Own |
| | If a clear majority of the people in Quebec want to secede, the justices said, the rest of Canada would be obliged to negotiate the terms of secession as though it were an amendment to the constitution. | | | simple vote in Quebec is not enough to allow the French-speaking province to legally separate from the rest of Canada, the country's Supreme Court said yesterday in a landmark opinion widely seen as fortifying the federal Government's efforts to keep the United States' closest ally from breaking up. | | | In the first referendum on independence, in May 1980, the separatists gained 40 percent of the votes cast in Quebec, the only province where the referendum was held. |

| | Dialogue Canada - Practical Guide to 1995 Referendum |
| | Quebec's Minister of International Affairs originally tried to convince his troops that the province would automatically adhere to all of Canada's treaties as a `successor' state. | | | Closely related to the referendum law is the Quebec electoral law. | | | Imitating their great successes during the constitutional referendum and the Quebec election, the PQ will use leaked documents and personal attacks to besmirch the reputations of Francophone defenders of federalism. |

| | In 1998 Quebec's Minister of Intergovernmental Affairs, Joseph Facal, published a document on Quebec Sovereignty and the Rule of Law in which he asserts that the Supreme Court recognized the separatists' claims. | | | You can also read the press releases on the Supreme Court's decision from the federal Minister of Intergovernmental Affairs, Stephane Dion, and from the Minister of Justice, Anne McLellan. | | | However, the court also emphasized that the rest of Canada would have a political obligation to negotiate Quebec's separation if a clear majority of that province's population voted in favour of it. |

| | The Quebec independence referendum turnout was less than 3% lower, in a completely free election, one without sanctions for not voting. | | | The historically high turnout in the Quebec Referendum shows the great importance which the voters attached to that election. | | | So, on October 30, 1995, the voters of Quebec went to the polls again to vote on whether to secede from the rest of Canada. |

| | After having lost the referendum and facing public outcry for his remarks, Jacques Parizeau resigned, saying that he always had the intention to resign if he were to lose his referendum. | | | Quebec has very strict political party financing and public consultation laws which cover the referendum process. | | | The vote is clearly split along linguistic lines, non-francophones voting almost invariably for the party or option opposed to separatism (separatism: A disposition toward schism and secession from a larger group; the principles and practices of separatists), which they often consider an French-Canadian ethnic, if not chauvinistic, issue. |

| | The Struggle for Quebec: From Referendum to Referendum by M.D. Behiels |
| | Young outlines Ottawa's belated Secession Reference to the Supreme Court questioning the legality of the secessionists' UDI plans and the secessionists' mantra that `Quebecers are a ``people,'' that they have right of self-determination, and that this right extends to secession.' | | | Quebecers, it now appears, will have to chose between, on the one hand, a 'lucid integration into Confederation' (to use a felicitous phrase of Maurice Lamontagne, a former advisor to prime ministers Louis St Laurent and Lester Pearson) and, on the other, an independent Quebec republic competing on its own in a globalizing world. | | | This book's six chapters initially constituted the new chapters of the 1998 revised and amended version of Young's brilliant and controversial The Secession of Quebec and the Future of Canada (1994). |

| | The revolution that was required is a revolution for the individual against power. | | | In fact, both official groups (which were the only ones legally allowed to spend resources to promote their options) have defended the same naïve conception of the state. | | | The official secessionist side claims that granting their state unlimited powers (which is what sovereignty is all about) will produce the ideal society. |
