Thirty years ago today, on October 30, 1995 (September 7, 1995 lunar calendar), the Quebec referendum rejected independence. On October 30, 1995, thousands of Canadians spent a tense and uneasy day in front of the TV from east to west. When the results of the provincial referendum in Quebec were announced, people breathed a long sigh of relief for Quebec to remain in Canada. Quebec is a province in eastern Canada with an area of more than 1.54 million square kilometers and a population of more than 7 million, of which nearly 80% are French-speaking residents. There has always been a deep-rooted contradiction between some French residents and the predominantly British residents of other provinces, and they always want to break away from the Canadian federal government and become a country. After the Parti Québécois, which wanted to secede from Canada, won the provincial election in September 1994 and took power, it had planned to hold a referendum in June 1995 to decide whether Quebec should become independent. But the timing was premature and it was postponed to October 30. In recent days, many moving scenes can be seen all over Canada in order to "keep Quebec". Prime Minister Chrétien made a speech on television, sincerely calling on Quebecers to stay in Canada; in Ontario, women said with tears in their eyes that "a united Canada is our choice"; in Vancouver, even children wrote their hearts in signs, "Quebec, we love you". The most touching scene was in the city of Montreal, where 150,000 men and women from all over Canada rushed to the downtown square in the wind and snow on October 28, with their affectionate calls and hugs, showing Quebecers that no one wanted the province to secede from Canada. It is not difficult to see from the entire "retention movement" that the zeal to maintain national unity and unity has far exceeded political "separation and conflict of interests". During the voting process on the 30th, nearly 5 million Quebecers went to dozens of polling stations in the wind and snow to vote in the referendum. In Montreal, the headquarters of the Quebecois independence party and the headquarters of the federal party that maintains unity were brightly lit, and the percentage change was closely watched with anxiety and anxiety during the hours waiting for the statistics. In downtown Montreal, a large number of heavily armed riot police cordoned off the streets to separate pro-independence and anti-independence crowds, and helicopters patrolled the skies to prevent accidents. The nation breathed a sigh of relief, but the mood was still very heavy, when the pro-unity federalist faction was announced with a narrow majority of 50.6% to 49.4%. Prime Minister Chretien made a televised speech at midnight, noting that there was only one winner in Quebec's vote, and that was the people. He thanked the people of Quebec for choosing to stay in Canada, while also recognizing Quebec's unique status and the reforms that would be made on issues such as constitutional amendments. New Brunswick and other provincial governors also made televised speeches overnight, expressing their willingness to reopen talks with Quebec to amend the constitution, but other governors responded coolly, saying that Quebec's demands could be met without amending the constitution. Canadian political authorities interviewed on the scene said that the dispute between the two factions of Quebec's unification and independence will not subside in the short term, and the tensions between Quebec and other provinces will not be eased for a long time. The winner of the Quebec vote was not happy, while the loser said that he would continue to work hard until Quebec became fully independent. The public opinion here believes that in the next three to five years, the Quebec issue will once again become a hot topic in Canadian political life, and the debate around independence will continue. In order to deal with this annoying problem, the Canadian federal government may be unable to concentrate on economic development. Every June 24th is Quebec's "National Day", and residents wave the blue Quebec flag.
