1 Jan 1995 Jahr - 1995 Quebec Referendum and the Bloc Quebecois

Beschreibung:

Lucien Bouchard created a new national party called the Bloc Quebecois. Quebecois again elected the separatist Parti Quebecois in 1994. Premier Jacques Parizeau called a provincial referendum on full sovereignty. The “yes” forces reminded Quebecois of their “humiliation” in the rejection of the Meech Lake Accord. In the end, 49.4 percent of the people of Quebec voted “yes” to sovereignty.
