Québec Flag

While exploring chess.com I found some countries yet to be recognized as such could still diplay their flags. Since, Catalonia, Scotland and Wales could have flags, I thought it would be great that Québec gets his own since the province is officially recognized as a nation. I could help with the pictures conception if needed.

Thank you

Is the picture a blank white flag of surrender?

Plains of Abraham

Je me souviens

Since when?

We'll send a flag with the next set of transfer payments.   

pronounced cue-beck.

It's pronounced quay-beck (/kwɨˈbɛk/) in english and something like ka-beck in french  [kebɛk].

Quebec was first known as New France before the english conquest of 1783. It was later named "lower Canada" and kept most of its geographical and cultural unity until the act of union of 1940, when the english empire forced lower Canada into its newly formed "province of Canada" even if lower Canada had lower debt and was more developed back then. Canada was created in 1867 with the BNA act but when the constitution was officially patriated in 1982 by P.-E. Trudeau, Québec never signed nor agreed to become a province of Canada. That's right. Québec is not a province of Canada, constitutionally speaking.

But all this is not about saying Québec is better than Canada or that we have different rights. I don't care about the differences and all. I just think that if places like Catalonia and Faroe islands, wich are under spanish and danish control, have their flags, Québec should have its own too.

Wow, is it really a independent nation that's controlled by an independent Canada which is owned by the Queen of England?

Yes. Getting rid of monarchy is one of the reason so many people (about half of Québec population) want to secede from Canada. But again, I'm not arguing for secession here, only for a small picture that we could display like scots, walers, catalonians etc.

Thank you. It's good to see some common sense here...

Firstly, it's a Canadian province. Secondly, it still is absolutely a province of Canada, I've had to learn the provinces about 6 times, never was there doubt that Quebec is there.

I do not wish to argue about Québec secession here (it's a suggestion forum after all) but you might want to lookup some informations. Wikipedia and other encyclopedias will have much to read about the patriation of the constitution of 1982, but here's a small summary of the situation:

Texas and California were both once soveregien nations that have been assimilated and should have their own flags too.

Send the guillotine to Quebec forthwith! Smaug shall be the first :)

What other nation in the world recognizes Quebec as a nation? You are referring to the "nation within a nation" motion which was just political maneuvering.

Don't forget the original 13 states as well.
