My great hope would be that Quebec would realize itself fully as a distinct part of Canada, and stay Canadian, bringing to Canada a part of its richness.
Gabrielle Roy
Canadian politics in British Columbia is an adventure, on the Prairies a cause, in Ontario a business, in Quebec a religion, in the Maritimes a disease.
Paul St. Pierre
From that moment on, there will be an irreversible process to separate Quebec from Canada.
Jean Charest
If, as is believed by many Canadians, Canada can not exist without Quebec, then it simply does not deserve to exist.
Pierre Bourgault
To suggest that Quebecers willingly give up the chance to exercise fully their influence within the federal government would be to betray the historical role Quebec has always played in Confederation, and to undermine the legitimacy of their pride and ambitions.
Kim Campbell
Recognizing Quebec as being different, recognizing our history, recognizing our identity, has never meant a weakening of Quebec and has never been a threat to national unity.
Jean Charest
I have decided to end my participation in public affairs and to resign my role as premier of Quebec.
Lucien Bouchard
Canada is like an old cow. The West feeds it. Ontario and Quebec milk it. And you can well imagine what it's doing in the Maritimes.
