Question 3

Discuss the variance in levels of popular support for Quebec independence.

Accepted Answer

According to public opinion polls, the level of popular support for Quebec independence has ranged between a low of about 20 per cent just after the birth of the PQ to a high of nearly 60 per cent (see Figure 2.1(in the text)). In recent years it has hovered around one-third of Quebeckers, including just over 4 in 10 of those whose mother tongue is French. Without reading too much into the numbers, we may say that there appears to be a durable core of support for the idea of Quebec independence, but that it may lack the potential for growth (see the discussion in Chapter 14). Not only has the level of support varied over time, it is also influenced by what sort of independence is envisaged by the pollster's question. Support always has been higher for softer options such as "sovereignty-association"-a term generally understood to mean a politically sovereign Quebec that would be linked to Canada through some sort of commercial union or free trade agreement-than for outright political and economic separation.
