Quebec fell under British rule in the 18th century, but nostalgia for its French past remains, not least in the Canadian province’s French motto: “Je me souviens,” or “I.remember.”
On y apprend aussi que si la ferveur indépendantiste n’est plus ce qu’elle était, c’est grâce au bon travail du Bloc Québécois!
Today, the movement has lost much of the momentum it had at its peak in the ‘90s, thanks in large part to the parliamentary power of the Bloc Québécois. As the party (the most popular in Quebec) works to promote Quebec’s political agenda and protect Francophone interests against perceived English assimilation, separation has been less of a priority for many Quebecers.
