    Quebec has a rich history spanning hundreds of years. Their culture, language, and religion are especially significant when considering the geographic cleavages that exist in Canada today. Despite the fact that Canada has managed to exist for 150 years and is considerably decentralized, Quebec has been marginalized and subjected to anglicization and assimilation of their French culture since the Conquest and Confederation, to the Quiet Revolution and to the present day. Through an examination of regionalism, current opinion polls and elections results in Quebec, and a comparison with the independence movement and referendum in Catalonia, this paper argues that Quebec sovereignty is not a dead issue and that there are consequential future consequences…
