Answer 1

Answer:

A) considered becoming independent from Canada

Explanation:

In 1995, the province of Quebec, Canada, made the headlines in the media with its attempt to gain independence from Canada. It was all done in a peaceful manner in the French speaking province, as there was a referendum organized by the local governing bodies. Despite the referendum being successful, the Canadian government was not recognizing it as it was against its constitution, so Quebec did not gained the independence it wanted. It was not the first time that Quebec tried to gain independence from Canada, as the province has always wanted to be a separate nation, and the chances are very high that it will not be the last attempt for it.
