In Canada, why does Montreal always want to be independent?

I want to be independent because I have no sense of belonging.

According to the latest opinion poll in Canada, Quebec people have great differences on whether to hold an independent referendum, and the proportion of support and opposition is equal. Surveys by major polling companies in Montreal show that 56% of Quebec residents support the independence of the province. According to a poll conducted by CTV Canada and Globe and Mail, 49% of Quebec people are in favor of a referendum on re-independence, one percentage point higher than the opposition. Experts from the Montreal polling company lamented that this may be the closest poll since 10. 1995101On October 30th, the referendum on independence in Quebec failed because of the narrow gap. At that time, only 49.4% of the votes supported independence, while the opposition supported it with 50.6%, with a gap of only 54,000 votes. The separatist forces in Quebec, which had been silent for a long time, began to act again.

Since the 1995 referendum, the strong measures taken by the Canadian government have gradually weakened the favorable conditions for Quebec's independence. Twenty years ago, Canada stipulated that Quebec could not make its own decisions and must be recognized by the Federation and other provinces. 1999, the federal government issued a bill requesting Quebec to hold an independent referendum in the future. No matter what the result is, it must be approved by the federal government to take effect. Although the federal government has made every effort to build a sense of belonging among Quebec people, opinion polls show that the concept of Quebec people has not changed significantly in the past decade. Only 12% people think they are closer to the federal government, while 7 1% people think they have not changed.

Quebec has 7.6 million French residents, while there are currently only 32 million British Canadians. Experts pointed out that people's growing national pride makes it difficult for Quebec to integrate into Canadian immigrant families. Lefebvre, a 26-year-old Montreal resident, said that independence is more reasonable now. ?
