quebec west canada split thingy

on the plan that would see the following transfers of power

all provinces:
criminal justice (and shit like marriage)
opt out power
choosing of senators
aboriginal affairs

quebec only:
distinct society
immigration
role in picking supreme court justices
veto power on certain issues


vote results in referendum:

YES - NO -
23.71% - 76.29% - British Columbia
28.37% - 71.63% - Alberta
39.72% - 60.28% - Saskatchewan
44.36% - 55.64% - Manitoba
56.63% - 43.37% - Ontario
87.33% - 12.67% - Quebec

51.08% - 48.92% - Northwest Territories
50.12% - 49.88% - Yukon
58.48% - 41.52% - CANADA



results in all 4 western provinces breaking off from Canada, and taking the Territories with them.

Two new countries thus born.

On June 24th 1997, Canada officially changed its name to "Canada and Quebec" and Quebec was granted its additional powers.

On July 1st 1997, Western Canada officially become a new country, separate from Canada.

  1. I'm confused, what would the referendum ask? You show the west voting no, so was it just for an independent Quebec?
