Quebec Sovereignty refers to the political movement advocating for the province of Quebec in Canada to become an independent nation. This movement seeks to establish a separate government and control over its own affairs, including language, culture, and economy. Supporters believe that independence would allow Quebec to better preserve its unique identity, primarily rooted in the French language and culture.
The sovereignty movement has been a significant part of Quebec's political landscape since the 1960s, with notable events such as the Referendums held in 1980 and 1995. While the movement has garnered substantial support, it has also faced opposition from those who prefer to remain part of Canada, citing economic and social benefits of unity.
