Question

. Why do you think the Canadian government is opposed to Quebec's becoming a separate nation?

Answer 1

Many people in Quebec who are of French descent are worried that their culture and language might die if Quebec remains part of Canada. Therefore, many Quebeckers demand independence for Quebec. Although the Canadian government did make some changes, such as making French the official language of Quebec, the separatists have warned that they will continue their struggle. If Quebec does separate, it would weaken Canada politically and economically. It might encourage other Canadian provinces to become separate nations as well.
