What was the outcome of the 1995 Quebec referendum?

Question

Not percentages, but what happened in the gov't and people. What actually happened after.

Answer 1

I lived in Montreal until 2002. The referendum was in favor of the "No" (no to giving the government a mandate to separate or negotiate a separation from the rest of Canada) and if I remember correctly the results were 52% for "No" and 48% for "Yes". Then, a little later, the Liberal party took office and the whole question of "separation" dwindled (except for the fanatics). It was the third time separation was rejected and the whole issue doesn't have the same "urgency" as before as it was in the 60's and 70's with René Lévesque and Jacques Parizeau (one has died the other has retired from active politics). The new generation (18-25) is probably not as preoccupied by the subject as we were. Technology has made their world much "bigger" and wider and more international issues are probably more a concernt than the age-old feud with english speaking Canadians and the "loss" of the country to the British over 230 years ago.

Answer 2

The only thing that came out of it was just more animosity and unrest.
