Quebec nationalism push poses election challenge for Justin Trudeau: This month, Legault vowed to amend Canada’s Constitution to recognize
French as Quebec’s only official language and to call Quebec a “nation”
to underscore its distinct status, not to assert that it is a separate
state.
Legault said he would do so through a rarely invoked
authority to unilaterally change parts of the Constitution that affect
just one province. The move is largely symbolic, since French is already
the province’s only official language and the federal Parliament in
2006 recognized Quebec as a nation inside Canada.
