Québec nationalism is a political and cultural movement that seeks to promote and protect the interests of the Québécois people, primarily those who speak French. It emphasizes the unique identity, language, and culture of Québec within Canada, advocating for greater autonomy or independence for the province. The movement has historical roots in the Quiet Revolution of the 1960s, which sparked a renewed focus on Francophone rights and identity. Political parties like the Parti Québécois have played significant roles in pushing for sovereignty and self-determination, reflecting the aspirations of many Québec residents.
