1995 - Quebec narrowly rejects independence.

In 1995, the citizens of Quebec voted in a referendum on whether or not to separate from Canada.

The referendum was narrowly rejected, with a vote of 50.58% against and 49.42% in favor of independence.

The vote was a close one, with a margin of only 54,288 votes out of the almost 5.9 million cast.

It was the second referendum held on the issue of Quebec sovereignty, the first being in 1980.

The 1995 referendum was seen as the last opportunity for Quebec to separate from Canada without federal consent.

The issue of Quebec sovereignty has been a long-standing one in Canadian history, with the first separatist movement beginning in the 1960s.

The 1995 referendum has been seen as a turning point in Canadian history, as it led to the federal government taking steps to further recognize Quebec as a distinct society.
