The Quebec Sovereignty Movement is a political movement in Canada that advocates for the province of Quebec to become an independent nation. This movement seeks to promote the distinct culture, language, and identity of the Quebecois people, primarily focusing on the French language and heritage. Supporters of the movement often argue that independence would allow Quebec to have greater control over its own affairs, including economic policies and social programs. The movement has led to significant political events, including two referendums in 1980 and 1995, where the majority of voters chose to remain part of Canada.
