Can you imagine the PM and leading political party of Canada being as deeply committed to Canadian sovereignty and Canadian identity as the BQ and particularly Jacques Parizeau is to Quebec sovereignty and identity?

Whatever your feelings towards the BQ are, it can not be doubted that they are tremendously effective in advocating for laws and legislation that protect cultural identity and sovereignty.

    Canada is its own country. Quebec is not. Who’s really doing a better job?

      Matters not, the BQ is still the most proficient at protecting sovereignty. Canada could benefit from using a lot of their tricks and techniques, including their bluster.

      The Québécois Nation Motion reads:

      Que cette Chambre reconnaisse que les Québécoises et les Québécois forment une nation au sein d’un Canada uni.

      So we, as a country, do officially recognise their nationhood.
