As a Quebecois, you explained very well the history of Canada. Quebecois and French people are different culturally. Our accent is not at first understood by French. French canadians have not been assimilated because of the revenge of cradle. The catholic church promoted couples to have big families. It was common to have 6 and more children before the 60s Canada is not truly bilingual. It is in fact only obligations to be bilingual for francophone... The main issue for Quebec independence is the economy and the money 💰
The Quebec accent is pretty understandable for French speakers in Europe. I joked with a friend from Quebec online saying that he was more French than he taught because sometimes he had an accent that I find typically French. And for the mentality, the Quebecois are close to the French in the north and the Belgians. -A belgian
Quebec independance didnt go through cause tons of none "real quebekers" voted on the issue You simply needed to be a resident in quebec for at least 1 year and have a official adress there. To be able to vote on quebec independance So the haitian, italian, morrocan, latinos immigrant were able to vote on something they shouldnt have had a say. And the immigrants wanted to keep canada To be able to vote for this independance issue.

Really well done sir. Just a little (important) point to correct: Québec didn't refuse to sign the constitution. The English Canada decided to sign the constitution behind the back of Québec during the night because 3 parliamentarians refused to accept Québec demands even if it was accepted by all Prime Ministers. Since it was needed to have the acceptance of every one, the big Pierre-Elliot Trudeau project was about the fail.

One thing you should have mentioned : You mentioned how Maurice Duplessis gave a lot of power to the church, but forgot to mention that, in the 60's and 70's, the church lost all that power. People in Quebec were kind of traumatized by what was essentially a theocracy and a period during which we were stuck in the past, and we dealt with that through nationalization and heavy secularization. Even today, the shadow of that past is still haunting a lot of people, which explains the very controversial Bill 21 (which, before any misinformation is said about it, only prevents people from wearing religious-connoted clothing or symbols for specific jobs in specific public institutions, namely people in public education, the police, judges and prison wardens). Not saying this is a good law, I'm just saying that, considering the past, it can be somewhat understandable that such a law would emerge today. Good video, though I'm a bit skeptical about the conclusion, I think it lacks nuance. A lot of people in Quebec do want a country, it's just that a big portion thinks it's gonna be bad for the economy.
@@Quickpatch12 We can. But it won't be happening because people outside the province tell us to. That, I can guarantee. Be aware that a lot of people within Quebec disagree with this law (including myself), and a change of government might be enough for the law to be repealed.
@@Mercure250 Personnellement je suis d'accord avec cette loi là, si biensur elle est appliquée a toute les religions sans exceptions!

@@raphaeldeslauriers5730 Le problème, c'est que la loi, de facto, ne s'applique pas à toutes les religions. Un chrétien pratiquant peut ne pas porter de crucifix au travail, c'est pas difficile, mais quelqu'un pratiquant une autre religion, dans laquelle une tenue spécifique est de mise, doit soit renier cette tenue (ce qui reviendrait à renier certains principes de leur religion) soit abandonner l'idée de travailler dans ces milieux (heureusement, ça ne s'applique pas aux personnes déjà employées au moment du vote de la loi). Ça exclut de facto certaines religions plutôt que d'autres. Je suis d'accord que l'État et ses institutions doivent être neutres au niveau religieux, mais personnellement, je remets en question l'idée que les employés de l'État doivent, eux-mêmes, individuellement, être neutres, ou en tout cas, cacher leur religion. Le problème principal que j'ai avec la loi, c'est que j'ai l'impression qu'elle a été appliquée sans vraiment consulter les personnes que ça affecte le plus, c'est-à-dire les minorités religieuses. Là où je suis le plus perplexe, c'est au niveau de l'enseignement. Si on se base sur la commission Bouchard-Taylor, les enseignants ne devraient pas être inclus. Pourquoi les avoir ajoutés? On dit souvent que c'est parce qu'il y aurait une influence sur les enfants, mais est-ce démontré? Je suis sûr qu'il y a plusieurs endroits en occident où les enseignants ont le droit de porter certains signes religieux; a-t-on fait des études sur leur influence sur la religion des enfants? Je dis pas que je comprends tout ce qu'il y a à comprendre sur la question, je dis juste que j'ai l'impression que la loi a été adoptée de manière hâtive alors qu'il y a beaucoup de questions à se poser et de débats à avoir.
@@Mercure250 Ahh merci c'est des excellents points!

Thanks for the reminder. It's a common mistake to think the Acadians were deported in Louisiana. In 1755, approximately 11,500 Acadians (three-quarters of the Acadian population were expelled, families were separated, their lands and property confiscated, and in some cases their homes were burned. The Acadians were deported to separated locations throughout the 13 British colonies (from New England to Georgia) where many were put into forced labour or imprisoned. After 1758, thousands were transported to France and England. A small group came from Maryland and Pennsylvania) between 1766 and 1770. The most important group came from France in 1785. 4.8 millions of Québécois have at least 1 acadian ancestor (some escaped the Déportation and some came from the american colonies (1766 and +).

Great video! I personally like being part of Canada even though becoming our own country is a sexy idea. Things are going well and we're especially good friends with Ontario nowadays. I just wish we'd stop being treated like a punching bag by news outlets on slow news days. Also wish they'd stop wrongfully calling us racists for trying to protect our language and heritage.
Oh a fellow quebecois nice to meet you, personally I do feel it's kinda justified since we do keep that idea in Canada's head I don't fully blame them for treating us as such but I do understand where your getting at p.s I'm also quebecois
Being from Ontario and hearing all this it’s almost like you guys deserve your own country and we should help with paying you guys it’s absolutely disgusting what you guys had to deal with and the worst part is in Ontario where I live I’ve barely been taught about all the terrible things we did to you Quebec people
I'm fine with french people and Quebecois and respect their need for preservation of their heritage but I don't think that independence is the right way to go about it as it would be very damaging to the economy and would piss of a lot of if Quevec declared independence.
I'm curious, in which Province are you studying? Because I would assume there are major differences between the education systems. In Québec, this video is just a very very shortened version of what we learn.

"To keep the french population and the french population happy, the brits tolerated the catholic church, protected the traditional social and economic structure and much of the french laws were retained inside a system of british courts." The reality is quite different, reasons not being "tolerance": The 1774 "Quebec act" was passed for political reasons to ensure the loyalty of French Canadians to the British government. Before that, the brits started deportation of french speaking acadians (more that 12 000, 8 000 died before reaching destination) in 1755, taking their land and sending separated families to different countries...
Indépendance was very low in poll before the Lake Meech accord failure when Quebec was dealing to sign the constitution. The rejection from 3 provinces and lots of Quebec bashing led to the 1995 referendum. The video forgot to mention that the referendum was rigged when the federal government created the COMMITTEE TO REGISTER VOTERS OUTSIDE QUEBEC when 50 000 previous Quebec residents gained the access to vote at the referendum with the promise to move there within the year... Which they never did...
As a Canadian [with my own respective backgrounds from where my parents cam efrom], I will never understand the need to be racist towards other people who have a different language, where they descended, race, or whatever, regardless of "who did it first" because all it does is invoke needless conflict between people. I don't see the point in hating what is essentially, fellow Canadians or anyone else just because they differ from me and have a different outlook on things..
Three comments on this video : 1) It's nice to see a video like that about Quebec. It made me smile because it explains what we learned at school quite consicely 2) I'm sad I didn't see any Canadian ball when talking about WW2 considering Canada did a good job after conquiring Normandy 3) 5:18 Actually, what happened is that the majority of the population wanted to be independent, but the question officially asked was so confusing because the question was badly formulated and most people voted according to what they thought would make them independent but it didn't happen (quite funny when you think about it). So at the end, they were frustrated but accepted it. Nowadays, some people still want to be independent, but I think we sold too much of our ressources that we don't have any to potentially have a stable economy
Yeah, if Quebec were to become independent it would mean forgoing the equalization payments that it receives from the federal government. That might result in a sharp decrease in the quality of social services, something the Quebec government really doesn't want.
Quebecois are not latinos, so you ain't their brother or anything to them. Just because they speak french doesn't make them latinos (ethnically). Culturally and ethnically they are way more like americans and canadians. French people are not like hispanic people, we are very different from you.
@@frederickpeebles8142 I'm french from France, not Quebecois, but I lived in Quebec since both France and Quebec are extremely similar and kind of related, so it's pretty easy for a frenchman like me to go there for work, and I think that there is as much citizens in Quebec that want independence as citizens who just don't care as long as the country lets them use french as the only national language of the state. Surprisingly they are even more attached to the french language than us in France. xD Most of them don't speak english at all, which is why they feel kind of separated from other Canadians, but they still identify themselves as Canadians, so I think they are fine with the idea of being apart of Canada and not independent, because they don't seem to be forced against their will to be Canadians.

You somehow managed to forgo the main reasons Quebec wanted its independence: money and power. Historically, the French majority had been kept in lower economic positions: French workers, English bosses. Independence has really nothing to do with some ancient beef between French and English: it may prolong a long-standing tradition but thinking it's the cause is quite ridiculous if you ask me. Quebec separatism was, and still is, about a culturally different nation being kept from full auto-determination by its province status. The debate is about whether the alliance with the rest of Canada (meaning Alberta's oil money) is worth the restriction in policy liberty and international representation. Once Alberta's dirty and quite expensive oil stops bringing so much money to the federation, you might start to see a very different picture emerging, with Quebec, with its better diversified economy, suddenly becoming one of the purveyors of the federation and support for independence likely shooting up. We likely can put up with the rest of Canada if they give us money, but if cash ever starts flowing in the other direction, you'll see just how little Quebec cares about the Prairies. Yes, it's about money. It always is, and always was.
Yes Quebec's economy is diversified but it's never been dominant in the first place and will most likely never be. I think it will look more like a status quo kind of thing and even if I was wrong, it would be in the distant future where the generation supporting independence and nationalism the most will all be dead. There is little interest towards the nationalistic question for the youth, a good proportion of us don't even care if we get served in English in Montreal while shopping... If I had to predict, the defence of French and many of the laws regarding it will die someday because it's seen as a waste of time and resources (I do think so too). We have little to gain from independence... I'd love to hear a sales pitch based on today's situation to convince me it would be beneficial, most of the arguments today are about immigration which we desperately need and the French language which is far from endangered.
@@alexveer338 The immigrations arguments are made either by the very tired PQ or likely by federalists who want to paint the movement as backward nonsense by still capitalizing on Parizeau's drunk and frustrated remarks after the last referendum, 25 years after the fact. Sure, immigration control would be a part of Independence, but that's a just a small part of it. Many, if not most, of the arguments of the past campaigns still hold today: an independent Quebec would keep the billions of taxes it sends to the federation and use it in its own economy, instead of buying possibly unsustainable pipelines for Alberta for billions. It would be able to represent itself in international agreements, like trade deals (where it could negociate without being thrown under the bus to save Ontario's automobile industry, for instance) or environmental agreements (not having to carry the weight of Alberta's Oil). And yes, an independent Quebec would have full control over its own internal affairs, including immigration, but also its natural ressources, its relations with First Nations, or by having a fully independent democracy free of the push and pull of federal interests (we've seen how the federal camp cheated by investing much more money than was allowed in the 95 referendum, for instance: a few political heads rolled, but in the end the political damage had already been done. The No camp had already won, and by the slimmest of margins). Quebec also wouldn't have to put up with a leader who can simply ignore it for a decade because they did not contribute to his re-election, as has happened during the Harper era. I think most well-informed actors agree that Quebec could fully thrive as an independent country: it wouldn't even become a small, or a poor country by international standards. If you accept that Quebec has a separate identity to the rest of Canada, that it's its own separate nation (as was officially recognized by the federal parliament, might I add), then the question becomes: does the benefits outweigh the risks? How do you weigh Alberta's oil money and the economical and political costs of the transition against Quebec's politic, economic and democratic freedom?
@@LeRoiJojo In all honesty, a major issue with Quebec being independent is the fact that first: It's not strong enough economically to have any economical impact on others and have a say on the negociation of trade deals, which means that Canada will most likely strike better deals and be able to have a bigger say in international matters. For the question of Alberta's oil and the money going out, yes it's not the best for Quebec in itself to send money to Alberta for oil but without the federal government, Bombardier would not receive billions of dollars for the aeronautical industry. Yes some money will be sent to Alberta and other provinces as support for them but we will in return receive a good amount of money like the insane amounts of equalisation payments as support in our economy here. For the question about immigration, we benefit from the massive influx of immigrants and our growing industries need them to thrive. Maybe are you not noticing the impacts of it but I am from one of the most damaged regions (Beauce) from the lack of workforce. We have insane issues finding workers here so immigration is our best solution to fill these holes and keep our region as one of the most economically thriving regions in the province. For the question about democracy, Canada as a country is classified in the top list in the democraty index with the nordic countries in Europe. Do you really think being independent will improve this? We have a prime minister right now that's acting by himself with no regard to the youth's opinion and its cries for help. All he did was sending a pathetic message on facebook saying he cares about us while it's truly easy to notice that he doesn't give a fuckin crap about the situation we're into and that we'll have to solve in the future. Talking about Harper's ignorance of Quebec... our current prime minister is doing the same but with his future generations... For the first nations, yes the relation with the Canadian government is kind of awkward because of the past but I'm not sure it would improve with an independent Quebec... We don't seem to be giving them better treatment than the federal government... For the natural resources question, what do you mean by controlling them more? Do you think that Quebec will expropriate some foreign businesses already exploiting them to put local entrepreneurs in their place? Sorry pal, but this won't stand and it would ruin the relations with other countries trading here and risk economical sanctions. Quebec's not gonna control its resources more, it's already given the power to by the federal anyway to do so... Quebec would not die from independence, of course not! It would not lose its place as a developed country also but it would most likely suffer a lot economically from it and would never compete with the rest of North America. And yes maybe Quebec is a nation in itself, but it's not uncommon to see different nations living together in a country, like in Belgium with Flanders and Wallonia or the UK with Scotland, England and Wales. The best thing to do is cooperate, work together as one and stop with the blind asumption that working alone would be better because of cultural differences like the language...
@@alexveer338 It's not just about cultural differences, it's about economical ones, too. Parizeau was an economist, after all: he knew the numbers and was no fool. If Mexico is part of a North-American economic alliance, then why wouldn't Quebec be? And then we wouldn't have to sacrifice our aluminum or agricultural sectors in favor of Ontario's automobiles. Being part of a federation necessarily means making compromises, and oddly enough, Quebec has historically received the short end of the stick in those deals and I see no reasons for it to change. Speaking of history, Quebec hasn't even officially ratified the Canadian constitution. Because it was signed in secret behind its back, during the night, as the other provinces did not want to compromise with Quebec's demands. I repeat: when the constitution was ratified, the other provinces negotiated in secret and presented Quebec with the fait accompli in the morning. We can't call that democratic. And when the federal government unduly influenced the Quebec referendum with illegal spending, quite possibly changing the results as they were so close, we can't call that democratic. And, if we are to believe recent findings, when Canada's Prime minister asks his buddy, one of the most prominent businessmen in the country, to ''make life difficult'' for the newly elected PQ to undermine their case for independence, we can't call that democratic. And even in perfectly democratic conditions, being a minority in a majority means every concession you get mostly was out of ''generosity'' from the majority. They'll do just enough to keep you in line, but no more. An independent Quebec would be its own majority. It could make the best decisions for itself without compromise. And I quite hate Legault, and I think he's a pretty awful Prime Minister, but he won't be there forever. We have to try to do what's best for Quebec as a nation, independently of who happens to be in power at any given time. Let's also remember that, while it's been estimated that Quebecers do receive more that they give to the federal government, the equalization payments are financed from the federal budget, including from Quebec's part in federal taxes. If Quebec simply kept tax rates the same and kept the money instead of sending it to Ottawa, as would happen if it became independent, it would shrink the gap significantly. And, if Quebec was in full control of its immigration policy, it may more easily be able to attract and retain francophone workers to regions like Beauce. At any rate, the people immigrating to Quebec would do so with the intention of staying in Quebec, and could not see it as a gateway to the rest of Canada. I guess I could go on on a policy by policy basis, but let me conclude on a more general note. I see Quebec's independence as someone leaving his parents' house. Sure, it's probably cheaper to live at one's parents' place, and we can be grateful when our mom has kindly cooked our dinner and we love our parents even if they watch awful TV and may not agree with who we're voting for. And we may stay with our parents all our life, it's fine. Some people do. But it's also nice to have your own place and be able to bake cookies at 2am if you want, or need, to. And not having to buy a TV you never watch anyway. Freedom has value.
@@LeRoiJojo For the case of Mexico, they are about 3 times the size of Quebec in GDP (Quebec 377 Billions, Mexico 1.150 Trillions). Mexico economically is quite important to the US because of the cheap manufacturing industry and many other reasons. Quebec is marginal compared to Mexico and Canada itself (1.650 Trillions in GDP). As you said, Quebec never had the advantage in deals, I don't think it will improve by being independent, actually it could only get worse with the power of our economy becoming less important to the others dealing with us. For the supposed ''sacrifice'', you could see it both ways with Ontario complaining about them sacrificing their automobile industry for Bombardier, which takes a ton of federal funding to be profitable. It's not all about Quebec... Why can't we just work together as a whole instead of fighting for no reasons and wanting to pull the rope all the time? To be honest, if there's a province that likes to pull the rope, it's us! Talking about signing deals in our back, the Quebec government may have deserved such treatment don't you think? With the PQ in power, what had to be expected is trouble from a nationalistic government which wasn't open to negociate with the English-speakers, which they saw as foreigners instead of friends living in the same country. I don't see that much of an unfair treatment from the other provinces, actually many of the other provinces are tired of Quebec demanding concessions and trying to get more than the others from the federal government. Put yourself into their shoes... Talking about minorities, the English-speaking minorities in Quebec are treated unfairly with oppressive language laws, a feeling of exclusion from the French-speaking majority in this ''FRENCH-ONLY'' concept of nation. I don't wanna be part of this so-called nation until it acts the same with its minorities than it asks from the federal. In fact I'm a French-native but I'm disgusted by the bitterness there is towards the English-speakers here. The proportion of native English-speakers in Quebec went from 13.3% in 1961 to 7.6% in 2011. There is a predicted long-term decline in this number and our government turns a blind eye to it and even dares to say that there is a decline of the French-language and that they should do more to protect it. When a deputy from Montreal asked for proofs during the most recent controversy, she got attacked by all sides saying it's hate! The federal government conceded and decided to throw her under the bus instead of telling the blunt truth, which is that French is far from endangered in Quebec right now and that being served in English, in Montreal, (A cosmopolitan city with a major English minority) is normal. 7.4% of its population only speaks English and most people in the city (54%) are bilingual... You say that Parizeau's an economist, do you really think it has an impact on how we should analyse his thoughts? It doesn't matter economist or not... I'm a student in international commerce, should you think that what I'm saying is the absolute truth about trade deals and all? Absolutely not, I hope it won't impact your view about me and you'll analyse my thoughts rationally. In terms of the control of immigration policies, the popular thought in Quebec is to lower the number of immigrants coming here. Also, Quebec already has a big say in who comes here. The reason why nobody comes to Beauce isn't only because of Ottawa, Quebec has an equal part of responsability in this. Also, if the immigrants see Quebec as a gateway to the rest of Canada, don't you think it's a sign that our society as a whole is mediocre and unattractive? Actually, I understand their feeling, I'm the first one planning to get out of here next year to study in Europe and maybe to never come back... No I don't see Quebec's independence the same way, I see it as foolishness. Leaving your parents' home while not being strong enough financially or too young isn't the best thing to do. I don't see it the same way, I see Canada as a hockey team. Ontario being the captain, BC and us wearing the A. Why should we leave the team? We should all treat ourselves as a big family and even though most of us in Quebec speak French, we should not see it as a barrier and embrace our difference. Canada is here to support us and we should be there to support it too. I'll finish this one with this, Canada is one of the prettiest nations in this world because it's a nation forged through tolerence and inclusion (Yes you'll talk about the natives but everyone in this world makes mistakes right? Can't we go past this and instead think about how we can improve their situation for the future and make it the best way possible for them too?). No matter where you come from, what colour your skin is, what language you speak, we're all part of Canada and it's what it should be. No matter how different we are, the ideal scenario is that we all go above it and play together as a team. Let's all forget what happened in the past and think about the future and to do this, independence must not go through.
As a quebecer I can say that true out most of Canada history we have been repressed and mistreated by Canada only in the 21century did Canada finally showed some respect for us
Of course the federal government through history is not a good one to non English speaking people’s taking advantage trying to convert them its not all (happy Canada do no wrong.) And yes I am Canadian
@@robertjoe9396 I don't see why you would do the whataboutism here. nobody said the natives weren't mistreated. hell they had it much worse than we Quebecers did but that doesn't change the fact we wanted our independance and that we were still mistreated.
@@robertjoe9396 The guy didn’t want the comment to be a competition. But if you want comparison, well you’ll be surprised to know that Quebec was in contrast to other Na nations, very peaceful to the natives with exception of war that were brought because of alliances
As a Franco-Ontarian I want to make it clear that Québec isn’t the only part of Canada that speaks French. Their are french speaking communities spread all across the country. For example the french Métis of Manitoba and Saskatchewan or french speakers in BC (which btw the only part of Canada that’s actually bilingual). And also Québécois seperatism isn’t as popular as The Bloc Québécois wants you to think. Bother than that great video bud 🇨🇦
Absolument vrai. Exemple: Radio-Canada est beaucoup trop centré sur le Québec, c'est carrément toxique pour le reste de la francophonie canadienne. Il faudrait aussi beaucoup de coopération du Québec avec la francophonie canadienne et nord-américaine en général.
@David Marku If Quebec stays in Canada they will lose their culture too... Of course, it won't be that obvious but in like 50 years french won't be the main language in Quebec anymore, due to many people wanting to switch to the English language for many reasons.
make video about bulgaria and macedonia, I know that that the balkans are confusing for nonbalkan guys, but in my opinion this is really fun team for video and you will attract more people from the region.
All provinces would be worse off as independents, saying that as an Albertan. Just certain provinces would suck less. Ontario and BC would be more or less the same, Alberta would be a true boom and bust, Quebec would end up heavily indebted with limited ways out, and the rest would be equivalent to Mexico north. No clue how how any of the maritime provinces would make it on their own. Would probably get absorbed into the US in a heartbeat.
I don't know, Newfoundland could be, a tax haven as a independent country with petrol as well. The problem of Newfoundland is the cost of infrastructures to develop it.
I meant to some extent every province and territory is like it's own country in the sense of culture and geography. In that way it is somewhat like how each USA state has its own culture/geography. Each province and territory has its own uniqueness that makes it special. If you drove through Canada, everywhere it will be different but all beautiful :D
It is I believe, among the ones that I have seen, the most accurate video on the subject in English. However, I disagree with a few sentences : "There are limited arguments supporting the notion that French speaking people in Canada are being mistreated" "Canada is a friendly guy who wants the best for everyone"
As a Quebecker, I find your coverage of our history pretty complete and very well summarized. It is true that we've suffered a lot in the colonial ages, but since the 1960s, with what we call the "Révolution tranquille" (literally, "quiet revolution"), French-Canadian people are doing a whole lot better than before. As you say, we really don't need to separate from the rest of Canada anymore. I'd say that the only big difference is our institutions (e.g. we have Cégeps, which is a kind of like college but only lasts 2 years), but we have good (and FREE) healthcare, education that costs almost nothing and a very strong economy based on renewable energy (hydroelectricity). And even though we're the province with the highest tax rate (37%), most people agrees that it also benefits everybody. So all in all, I'm very happy to be a Quebecker and I embrace the duality (French/English) of our origins, and find us a quite interesting people for that reason. :)

@@hugostiglitz2388 The Canadian government in the early days of confederation was just a continuation of the colonial regime, we didn’t properly form our own identity separate from the empire until the 1970s when younger generations started protesting the messed up stuff the government was doing.

@@hugostiglitz2388 I’m from Ontario, I’m not a Francophone. The Canadian government helped the Anglophone backed Quebec government limit opportunities for French Canadians during the late 1800s and early 1900s by encouraging Quebeckers to live as farmers (blocking them from getting jobs in commerce and manufacturing in cities such as Montreal) and allowing the Catholic Church to control their education, Quebeckers had to wait until the silent revolution post-WW2 to regain control of their province.
@@JollyOldCanuck At the time of Confederation, Quebec was 2 thin strips of land Bordering the St. Lawrence River which they used as farm land. Any so called gains were as a result of joining Canada not separating from it.
Acadians aren't Québécois. Acadia, Canada (present day Quebec and by extension Ontario and part of the Midwest) and Louisiana were three colonies that together made up New France. Acadians are French Canadian too, but with their own history and dialects. They're our cousins along with the Cajuns, the descendents of the deported Acadians who ended up in Louisiana.
There's actually à mistake but it's a really minor one. In 1976, the parti Québécois isn't formed but elected. It was formed in 1968, 1 year after René Levesque left the parti of Jean Lesage (PLQ). Also, you forgot to talk about the "Révolution Tranquille" wich stands for Quiet Revelution. It started in 1960 and end in 1985 ish.
I live right across the border state side. My county is very french . Most generational locals have grandparents or great grandparents born in Canada. Half the cars on the road have Quebec plates and most people who work in the service industry can speak a little French. Every teen in the area cuts their teeth in Montreal and there is a lot of romance back and forth. Some of the best bike/motorcycle rides between Burlington Vermont and Montreal to be found.
Small detail, if Quebec hasnt signed the constitution its because it simply wasnt invited. Its an event known by quebeckers as the night of the long knives where basically every prime minister in the country was invited to sign except quebec because of the independance tensions at the moment
5:31 Forgot to mention Quebec intended on signing the constitution on certain conditions but all the other provinces decided to just do it while the Quebec representative was sleeping because they didn't feel like negotiating and were fine with moving on without Quebec How do you think that makes us feel

7:33 well not really, the American Constitution doesn't allow secession so Texas can't leave, also a poll was made and only 1% said they want Taxes to be Independent.
As a Quebecer, I expected terrible inaccuracies, but there are only a few here and there (which is to be expected in any summarization of history). Good job! P.S.: Canada is not so friendly to the natives, South Africa's Apartheid regime was largely inspired by the Canadian "Reservation" system. Canada is only more "socially acceptable" in the public eye because it's colonial and racial supremacist views mostly achieved their goals in eradicating the indigenous population and First Nations. Canada's history with indigenous peoples is so bad, it's definitionally almost fascism. [Nobody expects USA to do good in that aspect, but horrifying stories abound over there as well. Remember Wounded Knee?]
not gonna lie, i'm french and I had a lot of Quebec friends in my life, I love Canada in general, and there accent are so good to hear, as for there independance, it's to them to decide, idk how the government of Canada do his things but this video was interesting and i learnt some good things
Quebec can vote on independence, but they can only legally leave through a constitutional amendment which is very difficult. I don't want Quebec to leave, but if they vote to do so I would be in favor of any constitutional amendment and new laws that would allow it, it would be unconscionable to ignore a democratic vote.
This video goes light on details by necessity, but one key thing that is not true stands out: the link between Québec and France. The shared language contributes to the current situation, but there is very little sense of commonality between the French and Quebecers. When the World Wars happened, the English tried to motivate the French-speaking Canadians to join to fight for the founding father, France. Nobody cared about France more than they did about England. The link was shattered in 1760. It took 200 years for France and Québec to establish any type of link. It happened when Charles de Gaulle, who knew his history, decided to inject himself into Québec's affairs to throw gunpowder on the fire. Pierre Trudeau was incensed; this was during the ETA years and he threatened (unseriously) to do the same in France and perhaps also in Brittany. Nowadays, there are tons of French coming to Québec. They feel like older cousins, a link that is not really reciprocal. They're nice enough (heck, I married one of them), but Quebecers don't feel any sense of obligation towards them anymore than other peoples.
@UCFNsGxsF4bHFmdIbQy2hK2A We treat our anglophone minority a lot better than we've ever been treated. Because we KNOW what it's like to be a minority. We still live it every day. And yes, we try to protect our culture from extinction. The colonialist arrogance that we should not even have the right to exist as a nation, is really sickening to me. That whole argument is disturbing to me on so many levels. How can you even think like that and call yourself civilized?

As a Quebecois, you explained very well the history of Canada.
Quebecois and French people are different culturally. Our accent is not at first understood by French.
French canadians have not been assimilated because of the revenge of cradle. The catholic church promoted couples to have big families. It was common to have 6 and more children before the 60s
Canada is not truly bilingual. It is in fact only obligations to be bilingual for francophone...
The main issue for Quebec independence is the economy and the money 💰
The Quebec accent is pretty understandable for French speakers in Europe. I joked with a friend from Quebec online saying that he was more French than he taught because sometimes he had an accent that I find typically French. And for the mentality, the Quebecois are close to the French in the north and the Belgians.

Really well done sir. Just a little (important) point to correct: Québec didn't refuse to sign the constitution. The English Canada decided to sign the constitution behind the back of Québec during the night because 3 parliamentarians refused to accept Québec demands even if it was accepted by all Prime Ministers. Since it was needed to have the acceptance of every one, the big Pierre-Elliot Trudeau project was about the fail. Him and Jean-Chrétien (notably) mnade a few phone calls in the nigth to get the agreement of all Provinces without telling Québec.

One thing you should have mentioned : You mentioned how Maurice Duplessis gave a lot of power to the church, but forgot to mention that, in the 60's and 70's, the church lost all that power. People in Quebec were kind of traumatized by what was essentially a theocracy and a period during which we were stuck in the past, and we dealt with that through nationalization and heavy secularization. Even today, the shadow of that past is still haunting a lot of people, which explains the very controversial Bill 21 (which, before any misinformation is said about it, only prevents people from wearing religious-connoted clothing or symbols for specific jobs in specific public institutions, namely people in public education, the police, judges and prison wardens). Not saying this is a good law, I'm just saying that, considering the past, it can be somewhat understandable that such a law would emerge today.
Good video, though I'm a bit skeptical about the conclusion, I think it lacks nuance. A lot of people in Quebec do want a country, it's just that a big portion thinks it's gonna be bad for the economy.
Can't Quebec repeal it?
@@Quickpatch12 We can. But it won't be happening because people outside the province tell us to. That, I can guarantee.
Be aware that a lot of people within Quebec disagree with this law (including myself), and a change of government might be enough for the law to be repealed.

@@raphaeldeslauriers5730 Le problème, c'est que la loi, de facto, ne s'applique pas à toutes les religions. Un chrétien pratiquant peut ne pas porter de crucifix au travail, c'est pas difficile, mais quelqu'un pratiquant une autre religion, dans laquelle une tenue spécifique est de mise, doit soit renier cette tenue (ce qui reviendrait à renier certains principes de leur religion) soit abandonner l'idée de travailler dans ces milieux (heureusement, ça ne s'applique pas aux personnes déjà employées au moment du vote de la loi). Ça exclut de facto certaines religions plutôt que d'autres.
Je suis d'accord que l'État et ses institutions doivent être neutres au niveau religieux, mais personnellement, je remets en question l'idée que les employés de l'État doivent, eux-mêmes, individuellement, être neutres, ou en tout cas, cacher leur religion. Le problème principal que j'ai avec la loi, c'est que j'ai l'impression qu'elle a été appliquée sans vraiment consulter les personnes que ça affecte le plus, c'est-à-dire les minorités religieuses.
Là où je suis le plus perplexe, c'est au niveau de l'enseignement. Si on se base sur la commission Bouchard-Taylor, les enseignants ne devraient pas être inclus. Pourquoi les avoir ajoutés? On dit souvent que c'est parce qu'il y aurait une influence sur les enfants, mais est-ce démontré? Je suis sûr qu'il y a plusieurs endroits en occident où les enseignants ont le droit de porter certains signes religieux; a-t-on fait des études sur leur influence sur la religion des enfants?
Je dis pas que je comprends tout ce qu'il y a à comprendre sur la question, je dis juste que j'ai l'impression que la loi a été adoptée de manière hâtive alors qu'il y a beaucoup de questions à se poser et de débats à avoir.
@@Mercure250 Ahh merci c'est des excellents points!

Thanks for the reminder. It's a common mistake to think the Acadians were deported in Louisiana. In 1755, approximately 11,500 Acadians (three-quarters of the Acadian population were expelled, families were separated, their lands and property confiscated, and in some cases their homes were burned. The Acadians were deported to separated locations throughout the 13 British colonies (from New England to Georgia) where many were put into forced labour or imprisoned. After 1758, thousands were transported to France and England. A small group came from Maryland and Pennsylvania) between 1766 and 1770. The most important group came from France in 1785.
4.8 millions of Québécois have at least 1 acadian ancestor (some escaped the Déportation and some came from the american colonies (1766 and +).

Great video! I personally like being part of Canada even though becoming our own country is a sexy idea. Things are going well and we're especially good friends with Ontario nowadays. I just wish we'd stop being treated like a punching bag by news outlets on slow news days. Also wish they'd stop wrongfully calling us racists for trying to protect our language and heritage.
Oh a fellow quebecois nice to meet you, personally I do feel it's kinda justified since we do keep that idea in Canada's head I don't fully blame them for treating us as such but I do understand where your getting at p.s I'm also quebecois
Being from Ontario and hearing all this it’s almost like you guys deserve your own country and we should help with paying you guys it’s absolutely disgusting what you guys had to deal with and the worst part is in Ontario where I live I’ve barely been taught about all the terrible things we did to you Quebec people
@@nekkerscam History is told/written by the winners or differs depending on the side you are...
I'm fine with french people and Quebecois and respect their need for preservation of their heritage but I don't think that independence is the right way to go about it as it would be very damaging to the economy and would piss of a lot of if Quevec declared independence.

"To keep the french population and the french population happy, the brits tolerated the catholic church, protected the traditional social and economic structure and much of the french laws were retained inside a system of british courts." The reality is quite different, reasons not being "tolerance": The 1774 "Quebec act" was passed for political reasons to ensure the loyalty of French Canadians to the British government. Before that, the brits started deportation of french speaking acadians (more that 12 000, 8 000 died before reaching destination) in 1755, taking their land and sending separated families to different countries...
THe Brits are fucking experts at forcing people out of their homes because of their culture or religion.

Good job 🌷
Indépendance was very low in poll before the Lake Meech accord failure when Quebec was dealing to sign the constitution. The rejection from 3 provinces and lots of Quebec bashing led to the 1995 referendum. The video forgot to mention that the referendum was rigged when the federal government created the COMMITTEE TO REGISTER VOTERS OUTSIDE QUEBEC when 50 000 previous Quebec residents gained the access to vote at the referendum with the promise to move there within the year... Which they never did...
As a Canadian [with my own respective backgrounds from where my parents cam efrom], I will never understand the need to be racist towards other people who have a different language, where they descended, race, or whatever, regardless of "who did it first" because all it does is invoke needless conflict between people.
I don't see the point in hating what is essentially, fellow Canadians or anyone else just because they differ from me and have a different outlook on things..
Say it loodly at toronto star, sun news and cbc.
As someone who went to Quebec school, you literally explained everything we learned in school that would've taken AT LEAST 5 years
Three comments on this video :
1) It's nice to see a video like that about Quebec. It made me smile because it explains what we learned at school quite consicely
2) I'm sad I didn't see any Canadian ball when talking about WW2 considering Canada did a good job after conquiring Normandy
3) 5:18 Actually, what happened is that the majority of the population wanted to be independent, but the question officially asked was so confusing because the question was badly formulated and most people voted according to what they thought would make them independent but it didn't happen (quite funny when you think about it). So at the end, they were frustrated but accepted it. Nowadays, some people still want to be independent, but I think we sold too much of our ressources that we don't have any to potentially have a stable economy
Yeah, if Quebec were to become independent it would mean forgoing the equalization payments that it receives from the federal government. That might result in a sharp decrease in the quality of social services, something the Quebec government really doesn't want.

@@maximelover3314 Do you want independence?
@@frederickpeebles8142 I'm french from France, not Quebecois, but I lived in Quebec since both France and Quebec are extremely similar and kind of related, so it's pretty easy for a frenchman like me to go there for work, and I think that there is as much citizens in Quebec that want independence as citizens who just don't care as long as the country lets them use french as the only national language of the state. Surprisingly they are even more attached to the french language than us in France. xD Most of them don't speak english at all, which is why they feel kind of separated from other Canadians, but they still identify themselves as Canadians, so I think they are fine with the idea of being apart of Canada and not independent, because they don't seem to be forced against their will to be Canadians.

Muchas gracias amigo!
You somehow managed to forgo the main reasons Quebec wanted its independence: money and power. Historically, the French majority had been kept in lower economic positions: French workers, English bosses. Independence has really nothing to do with some ancient beef between French and English: it may prolong a long-standing tradition but thinking it's the cause is quite ridiculous if you ask me.
Quebec separatism was, and still is, about a culturally different nation being kept from full auto-determination by its province status. The debate is about whether the alliance with the rest of Canada (meaning Alberta's oil money) is worth the restriction in policy liberty and international representation.
Once Alberta's dirty and quite expensive oil stops bringing so much money to the federation, you might start to see a very different picture emerging, with Quebec, with its better diversified economy, suddenly becoming one of the purveyors of the federation and support for independence likely shooting up. We likely can put up with the rest of Canada if they give us money, but if cash ever starts flowing in the other direction, you'll see just how little Quebec cares about the Prairies. Yes, it's about money. It always is, and always was.
Yes Quebec's economy is diversified but it's never been dominant in the first place and will most likely never be. I think it will look more like a status quo kind of thing and even if I was wrong, it would be in the distant future where the generation supporting independence and nationalism the most will all be dead. There is little interest towards the nationalistic question for the youth, a good proportion of us don't even care if we get served in English in Montreal while shopping... If I had to predict, the defence of French and many of the laws regarding it will die someday because it's seen as a waste of time and resources (I do think so too). We have little to gain from independence... I'd love to hear a sales pitch based on today's situation to convince me it would be beneficial, most of the arguments today are about immigration which we desperately need and the French language which is far from endangered.
@@alexveer338 The immigrations arguments are made either by the very tired PQ or likely by federalists who want to paint the movement as backward nonsense by still capitalizing on Parizeau's drunk and frustrated remarks after the last referendum, 25 years after the fact. Sure, immigration control would be a part of Independence, but that's a just a small part of it.
Many, if not most, of the arguments of the past campaigns still hold today: an independent Quebec would keep the billions of taxes it sends to the federation and use it in its own economy, instead of buying possibly unsustainable pipelines for Alberta for billions. It would be able to represent itself in international agreements, like trade deals (where it could negociate without being thrown under the bus to save Ontario's automobile industry, for instance) or environmental agreements (not having to carry the weight of Alberta's Oil). And yes, an independent Quebec would have full control over its own internal affairs, including immigration, but also its natural ressources, its relations with First Nations, or by having a fully independent democracy free of the push and pull of federal interests (we've seen how the federal camp cheated by investing much more money than was allowed in the 95 referendum, for instance: a few political heads rolled, but in the end the political damage had already been done. The No camp had already won, and by the slimmest of margins). Quebec also wouldn't have to put up with a leader who can simply ignore it for a decade because they did not contribute to his re-election, as has happened during the Harper era.
I think most well-informed actors agree that Quebec could fully thrive as an independent country: it wouldn't even become a small, or a poor country by international standards. If you accept that Quebec has a separate identity to the rest of Canada, that it's its own separate nation (as was officially recognized by the federal parliament, might I add), then the question becomes: does the benefits outweigh the risks? How do you weigh Alberta's oil money and the economical and political costs of the transition against Quebec's politic, economic and democratic freedom?
@@LeRoiJojo In all honesty, a major issue with Quebec being independent is the fact that first: It's not strong enough economically to have any economical impact on others and have a say on the negociation of trade deals, which means that Canada will most likely strike better deals and be able to have a bigger say in international matters.
For the question of Alberta's oil and the money going out, yes it's not the best for Quebec in itself to send money to Alberta for oil but without the federal government, Bombardier would not receive billions of dollars for the aeronautical industry. Yes some money will be sent to Alberta and other provinces as support for them but we will in return receive a good amount of money like the insane amounts of equalisation payments as support in our economy here.
For the question about immigration, we benefit from the massive influx of immigrants and our growing industries need them to thrive. Maybe are you not noticing the impacts of it but I am from one of the most damaged regions (Beauce) from the lack of workforce. We have insane issues finding workers here so immigration is our best solution to fill these holes and keep our region as one of the most economically thriving regions in the province.
For the question about democracy, Canada as a country is classified in the top list in the democraty index with the nordic countries in Europe. Do you really think being independent will improve this? We have a prime minister right now that's acting by himself with no regard to the youth's opinion and its cries for help. All he did was sending a pathetic message on facebook saying he cares about us while it's truly easy to notice that he doesn't give a fuckin crap about the situation we're into and that we'll have to solve in the future. Talking about Harper's ignorance of Quebec... our current prime minister is doing the same but with his future generations...
For the first nations, yes the relation with the Canadian government is kind of awkward because of the past but I'm not sure it would improve with an independent Quebec... We don't seem to be giving them better treatment than the federal government...
For the natural resources question, what do you mean by controlling them more? Do you think that Quebec will expropriate some foreign businesses already exploiting them to put local entrepreneurs in their place? Sorry pal, but this won't stand and it would ruin the relations with other countries trading here and risk economical sanctions. Quebec's not gonna control its resources more, it's already given the power to by the federal anyway to do so...
Quebec would not die from independence, of course not! It would not lose its place as a developed country also but it would most likely suffer a lot economically from it and would never compete with the rest of North America. And yes maybe Quebec is a nation in itself, but it's not uncommon to see different nations living together in a country, like in Belgium with Flanders and Wallonia or the UK with Scotland, England and Wales. The best thing to do is cooperate, work together as one and stop with the blind asumption that working alone would be better because of cultural differences like the language...
@@alexveer338 It's not just about cultural differences, it's about economical ones, too. Parizeau was an economist, after all: he knew the numbers and was no fool. If Mexico is part of a North-American economic alliance, then why wouldn't Quebec be? And then we wouldn't have to sacrifice our aluminum or agricultural sectors in favor of Ontario's automobiles. Being part of a federation necessarily means making compromises, and oddly enough, Quebec has historically received the short end of the stick in those deals and I see no reasons for it to change.
Speaking of history, Quebec hasn't even officially ratified the Canadian constitution. Because it was signed in secret behind its back, during the night, as the other provinces did not want to compromise with Quebec's demands. I repeat: when the constitution was ratified, the other provinces negotiated in secret and presented Quebec with the fait accompli in the morning. We can't call that democratic. And when the federal government unduly influenced the Quebec referendum with illegal spending, quite possibly changing the results as they were so close, we can't call that democratic. And, if we are to believe recent findings, when Canada's Prime minister asks his buddy, one of the most prominent businessmen in the country, to ''make life difficult'' for the newly elected PQ to undermine their case for independence, we can't call that democratic. And even in perfectly democratic conditions, being a minority in a majority means every concession you get mostly was out of ''generosity'' from the majority. They'll do just enough to keep you in line, but no more. An independent Quebec would be its own majority. It could make the best decisions for itself without compromise. And I quite hate Legault, and I think he's a pretty awful Prime Minister, but he won't be there forever. We have to try to do what's best for Quebec as a nation, independently of who happens to be in power at any given time.
Let's also remember that, while it's been estimated that Quebecers do receive more that they give to the federal government, the equalization payments are financed from the federal budget, including from Quebec's part in federal taxes. If Quebec simply kept tax rates the same and kept the money instead of sending it to Ottawa, as would happen if it became independent, it would shrink the gap significantly.
And, if Quebec was in full control of its immigration policy, it may more easily be able to attract and retain francophone workers to regions like Beauce. At any rate, the people immigrating to Quebec would do so with the intention of staying in Quebec, and could not see it as a gateway to the rest of Canada.
I guess I could go on on a policy by policy basis, but let me conclude on a more general note. I see Quebec's independence as someone leaving his parents' house. Sure, it's probably cheaper to live at one's parents' place, and we can be grateful when our mom has kindly cooked our dinner and we love our parents even if they watch awful TV and may not agree with who we're voting for. And we may stay with our parents all our life, it's fine. Some people do. But it's also nice to have your own place and be able to bake cookies at 2am if you want, or need, to. And not having to buy a TV you never watch anyway.
Freedom has value.
@@LeRoiJojo For the case of Mexico, they are about 3 times the size of Quebec in GDP (Quebec 377 Billions, Mexico 1.150 Trillions). Mexico economically is quite important to the US because of the cheap manufacturing industry and many other reasons. Quebec is marginal compared to Mexico and Canada itself (1.650 Trillions in GDP). As you said, Quebec never had the advantage in deals, I don't think it will improve by being independent, actually it could only get worse with the power of our economy becoming less important to the others dealing with us.
For the supposed ''sacrifice'', you could see it both ways with Ontario complaining about them sacrificing their automobile industry for Bombardier, which takes a ton of federal funding to be profitable. It's not all about Quebec... Why can't we just work together as a whole instead of fighting for no reasons and wanting to pull the rope all the time? To be honest, if there's a province that likes to pull the rope, it's us!
Talking about signing deals in our back, the Quebec government may have deserved such treatment don't you think? With the PQ in power, what had to be expected is trouble from a nationalistic government which wasn't open to negociate with the English-speakers, which they saw as foreigners instead of friends living in the same country. I don't see that much of an unfair treatment from the other provinces, actually many of the other provinces are tired of Quebec demanding concessions and trying to get more than the others from the federal government. Put yourself into their shoes... Talking about minorities, the English-speaking minorities in Quebec are treated unfairly with oppressive language laws, a feeling of exclusion from the French-speaking majority in this ''FRENCH-ONLY'' concept of nation. I don't wanna be part of this so-called nation until it acts the same with its minorities than it asks from the federal. In fact I'm a French-native but I'm disgusted by the bitterness there is towards the English-speakers here. The proportion of native English-speakers in Quebec went from 13.3% in 1961 to 7.6% in 2011. There is a predicted long-term decline in this number and our government turns a blind eye to it and even dares to say that there is a decline of the French-language and that they should do more to protect it. When a deputy from Montreal asked for proofs during the most recent controversy, she got attacked by all sides saying it's hate! The federal government conceded and decided to throw her under the bus instead of telling the blunt truth, which is that French is far from endangered in Quebec right now and that being served in English, in Montreal, (A cosmopolitan city with a major English minority) is normal. 7.4% of its population only speaks English and most people in the city (54%) are bilingual...
You say that Parizeau's an economist, do you really think it has an impact on how we should analyse his thoughts? It doesn't matter economist or not... I'm a student in international commerce, should you think that what I'm saying is the absolute truth about trade deals and all? Absolutely not, I hope it won't impact your view about me and you'll analyse my thoughts rationally.
In terms of the control of immigration policies, the popular thought in Quebec is to lower the number of immigrants coming here. Also, Quebec already has a big say in who comes here. The reason why nobody comes to Beauce isn't only because of Ottawa, Quebec has an equal part of responsability in this. Also, if the immigrants see Quebec as a gateway to the rest of Canada, don't you think it's a sign that our society as a whole is mediocre and unattractive? Actually, I understand their feeling, I'm the first one planning to get out of here next year to study in Europe and maybe to never come back...
No I don't see Quebec's independence the same way, I see it as foolishness. Leaving your parents' home while not being strong enough financially or too young isn't the best thing to do. I don't see it the same way, I see Canada as a hockey team. Ontario being the captain, BC and us wearing the A. Why should we leave the team? We should all treat ourselves as a big family and even though most of us in Quebec speak French, we should not see it as a barrier and embrace our difference. Canada is here to support us and we should be there to support it too. I'll finish this one with this, Canada is one of the prettiest nations in this world because it's a nation forged through tolerence and inclusion (Yes you'll talk about the natives but everyone in this world makes mistakes right? Can't we go past this and instead think about how we can improve their situation for the future and make it the best way possible for them too?). No matter where you come from, what colour your skin is, what language you speak, we're all part of Canada and it's what it should be. No matter how different we are, the ideal scenario is that we all go above it and play together as a team. Let's all forget what happened in the past and think about the future and to do this, independence must not go through.

Those Newfies are off the chains.
All provinces would be worse off as independents, saying that as an Albertan. Just certain provinces would suck less. Ontario and BC would be more or less the same, Alberta would be a true boom and bust, Quebec would end up heavily indebted with limited ways out, and the rest would be equivalent to Mexico north. No clue how how any of the maritime provinces would make it on their own. Would probably get absorbed into the US in a heartbeat.
I don't know, Newfoundland could be, a tax haven as a independent country with petrol as well. The problem of Newfoundland is the cost of infrastructures to develop it.
everytime he uploads you know it would be good
I meant to some extent every province and territory is like it's own country in the sense of culture and geography. In that way it is somewhat like how each USA state has its own culture/geography. Each province and territory has its own uniqueness that makes it special. If you drove through Canada, everywhere it will be different but all beautiful :D
It is I believe, among the ones that I have seen, the most accurate video on the subject in English.
However, I disagree with a few sentences :
"There are limited arguments supporting the notion that French speaking people in Canada are being mistreated"
"Canada is a friendly guy who wants the best for everyone"
Hope that Quebec can become independent one day.
As a Quebecker, I find your coverage of our history pretty complete and very well summarized. It is true that we've suffered a lot in the colonial ages, but since the 1960s, with what we call the "Révolution tranquille" (literally, "quiet revolution"), French-Canadian people are doing a whole lot better than before. As you say, we really don't need to separate from the rest of Canada anymore. I'd say that the only big difference is our institutions (e.g. we have Cégeps, which is a kind of like college but only lasts 2 years), but we have good (and FREE) healthcare, education that costs almost nothing and a very strong economy based on renewable energy (hydroelectricity). And even though we're the province with the highest tax rate (37%), most people agrees that it also benefits everybody. So all in all, I'm very happy to be a Quebecker and I embrace the duality (French/English) of our origins, and find us a quite interesting people for that reason. :)
Canada is in the room with Brittain and France.
France:My boy, how about you leave?
Britain: Yes of course, Daddy and mommy have to take care of something.
Canada leaves
The room is BOOM!!!

USA: How many times do I have to teach you this lesson old man?
😆🤣 "by the power of baguette "
Love this video maker! 😆
Can you speak about Algerian colonization?
I love yours videos!
I live his videos too :)
@@calm1tbh love*😭sorry
As a French guy, I love my brothers from Québec!
on vous aime aussi !!🇨🇦❤️🇫🇷
ces vrai qu'on vous aime 💪
I was expecting another Quebec bashing regurgitation like we often see in newspapers but this is an honest and unbiased abstract. Bravo !
So why do you blame Canada for events the British are responsible for?
@@hugostiglitz2388 The Canadian government in the early days of confederation was just a continuation of the colonial regime, we didn’t properly form our own identity separate from the empire until the 1970s when younger generations started protesting the messed up stuff the government was doing.
@@JollyOldCanuck Okay, let's see if you know your own history or if you're as dense as I believe. How were you wronged by the Federal government post 1867? Seeing as how you're willing to hold on to a grudge forever, I'm willing to go back that far for you to enlighten me. Bet you can't answer.
@@hugostiglitz2388 I’m from Ontario, I’m not a Francophone. The Canadian government helped the Anglophone backed Quebec government limit opportunities for French Canadians during the late 1800s and early 1900s by encouraging Quebeckers to live as farmers (blocking them from getting jobs in commerce and manufacturing in cities such as Montreal) and allowing the Catholic Church to control their education, Quebeckers had to wait until the silent revolution post-WW2 to regain control of their province.
@@JollyOldCanuck At the time of Confederation, Quebec was 2 thin strips of land Bordering the St. Lawrence River which they used as farm land. Any so called gains were as a result of joining Canada not separating from it.
You forgot to talk about the Acadian migrations
Acadians aren't Québécois. Acadia, Canada (present day Quebec and by extension Ontario and part of the Midwest) and Louisiana were three colonies that together made up New France. Acadians are French Canadian too, but with their own history and dialects. They're our cousins along with the Cajuns, the descendents of the deported Acadians who ended up in Louisiana.
There's actually à mistake but it's a really minor one. In 1976, the parti Québécois isn't formed but elected. It was formed in 1968, 1 year after René Levesque left the parti of Jean Lesage (PLQ). Also, you forgot to talk about the "Révolution Tranquille" wich stands for Quiet Revelution. It started in 1960 and end in 1985 ish.
I live right across the border state side. My county is very french . Most generational locals have grandparents or great grandparents born in Canada. Half the cars on the road have Quebec plates and most people who work in the service industry can speak a little French. Every teen in the area cuts their teeth in Montreal and there is a lot of romance back and forth. Some of the best bike/motorcycle rides between Burlington Vermont and Montreal to be found.
When the world needed him most,he came back
Cheers from Ontario!
Mateo Choquette cheers from Quebec bri'ish mate 🍵🍵🍵🍵🍵
Cheers again from Ontario hope you are doing well
@@bloxknight1145 Name sounds more of a French canadian name than an English one don't you think?
We really love your videos .your animated skill is entertaining but don't use amusing words in it.
Small detail, if Quebec hasnt signed the constitution its because it simply wasnt invited. Its an event known by quebeckers as the night of the long knives where basically every prime minister in the country was invited to sign except quebec because of the independance tensions at the moment
5:31 Forgot to mention Quebec intended on signing the constitution on certain conditions but all the other provinces decided to just do it while the Quebec representative was sleeping because they didn't feel like negotiating and were fine with moving on without Quebec
How do you think that makes us feel
la generations de nos parents, (ceux qui ont voter oui) ont tellement foutu la marde, un moment donner sa suffit et puis faut passer a lacte! Les autres provinces avait pas le choix, setait rendu trop irealistes come movement.
@@alainouellet7794 Surtout que le gouvernement fédéral a été malhonnête avec son influence sur le référendum et que tout le monde semble s'en foutre, mais bon c'est souvent le ce que les gouvernements font
@@alainouellet7794 wow!! C’est du colonisé de service incroyablement pathétique ton affaire où tu connais vraiment pas l’histoire de ce pays, es-tu un ignare à ce point où tu fais par exprès d’écrire de telles stupidités?!?!

Howdy from that province btw

Hey can you do why indonesia and malaysian hate/love video?
Yeah🤔 I think its good idea
You..... Just started a war....
As a Singaporean, you can't have a Malaysia-Indonesia video without Singapore in the mix!
@@spacecraftcarrier4135 Agreed
Quebec and Texas countryball looks nice and cute.
I used to be a seperatist. But when you look at the kind of governments we had over over the last couple of decades, it becomes a really scary thought.
Google a map of pre-confederation Quebec, that's what you get.
You can't do anything mate.
English is World language you can live your live in France by speaking English but Can't in Britain.
On a eue des gouvernements corrompus et avares (Charest/Couillard), parce que justement on a dit "Non" en 95. Si le "Oui" avait passé, il en aurait été autrement.
As someone who watches ice hockey, I can confirm this 6:18
As a BC Canadian, I sincerely hope that we can right the wrongs of the past, and remain a strong, united country. Our diversity is what makes us strong, and through reconciliation, we can become even stronger.
Il faudrait d’abord que les anglophones connaissent leur propre histoire, c’est là le problème.😉
ro bin Ça fait longtemps dis donc
We'd love that very much. Heck, just being respected and accepted would be a great start.
As an Alberta I don’t wanna see Quebec leave
7:33 well not really, the American Constitution doesn't allow secession so Texas can't leave, also a poll was made and only 1% said they want Taxes to be Independent.
As a Quebecer, I expected terrible inaccuracies, but there are only a few here and there (which is to be expected in any summarization of history). Good job!
P.S.: Canada is not so friendly to the natives, South Africa's Apartheid regime was largely inspired by the Canadian "Reservation" system. Canada is only more "socially acceptable" in the public eye because it's colonial and racial supremacist views mostly achieved their goals in eradicating the indigenous population and First Nations. Canada's history with indigenous peoples is so bad, it's definitionally almost fascism. [Nobody expects USA to do good in that aspect, but horrifying stories abound over there as well. Remember Wounded Knee?]
not gonna lie, i'm french and I had a lot of Quebec friends in my life, I love Canada in general, and there accent are so good to hear, as for there independance, it's to them to decide, idk how the government of Canada do his things but this video was interesting and i learnt some good things
Quebec can vote on independence, but they can only legally leave through a constitutional amendment which is very difficult. I don't want Quebec to leave, but if they vote to do so I would be in favor of any constitutional amendment and new laws that would allow it, it would be unconscionable to ignore a democratic vote.
This video goes light on details by necessity, but one key thing that is not true stands out: the link between Québec and France.
The shared language contributes to the current situation, but there is very little sense of commonality between the French and Quebecers. When the World Wars happened, the English tried to motivate the French-speaking Canadians to join to fight for the founding father, France. Nobody cared about France more than they did about England. The link was shattered in 1760. It took 200 years for France and Québec to establish any type of link. It happened when Charles de Gaulle, who knew his history, decided to inject himself into Québec's affairs to throw gunpowder on the fire. Pierre Trudeau was incensed; this was during the ETA years and he threatened (unseriously) to do the same in France and perhaps also in Brittany.
Nowadays, there are tons of French coming to Québec. They feel like older cousins, a link that is not really reciprocal. They're nice enough (heck, I married one of them), but Quebecers don't feel any sense of obligation towards them anymore than other peoples.
Idea: Why Dutch Empire Fell.
This video truly helps me to understand the separatism in Quebec. Nicely done
Canada loves multiculturalism. As long as you don't speak French or are a native.
@UCFNsGxsF4bHFmdIbQy2hK2A We treat our anglophone minority a lot better than we've ever been treated. Because we KNOW what it's like to be a minority. We still live it every day.
And yes, we try to protect our culture from extinction. The colonialist arrogance that we should not even have the right to exist as a nation, is really sickening to me. That whole argument is disturbing to me on so many levels. How can you even think like that and call yourself civilized?
