  • Quebecers sought more independence - gave rise to the idea of separatism
  • FLQ
  • Levesque formed Parti Quebecoi in 1967
  • Government trying to "solve" the issue (Bi and Bi Commission.  New flag.  Official languages act)
  • French wanted special status in the constitution as a distinct society
