In 1998, Canada's highest court declared that Quebec could not legally secede.
Explanation:
Quebec is a province in Canada. It is one of the most developed provinces, one of the most populous, and one of the few that provide good living conditions. Unlike the other Canadian province and territories where the language and culture are English based, as they were part of the English colonies, or in one case Inuit based, Quebec is actually a province with French culture and language, as it was part of the French colonies.
The people of Quebec, having different ethnic and cultural background, do not like to be part of Canada, but instead they want to be independent. They have organized several referendums, all of which had the majority of the voters being for independence, but all of which were not accepted by the Canadian government and court.
This puts the people of Quebec in a weird situation, as they want to secede, but the highest court of Canada has made that illegal. If they hold a referendum it will not be accepted, and war of course is not of anyone's interest.
Some facts about Quebec are:
- Quebec City is its capital, while Montreal is the biggest city.
- It occupies more than 1.5 million square km.
- Its population is around 8.5 million.
- It has the second highest GDP in Canada.
