Quebec Independence refers to the movement advocating for the province of Quebec in Canada to become a separate nation. This movement is rooted in the desire of many Quebecois to preserve their unique culture, language, and identity, which is primarily French. The push for independence has led to referendums, notably in 1980 and 1995, where citizens voted on whether to separate from Canada. While the 1995 referendum was narrowly lost, the topic remains a significant political issue, with various parties, such as the Parti Québécois, continuing to support the idea of sovereignty.
