Although traditional liberal arguments at best ignored culture, in practise, out of a long struggle to eliminate gargantuan prejudices, errors and wrongs, the liberal tradition has created in democratic pluralism a dialectic of culture and liberal politics that resolves the theoretical conundrums so dear to both. Canadian democracy is a monument to success in its capacity to provide dignity, freedom, opportunity, and prosperity to its citizens throughout the polity. Secession, if it takes place in Quebec, puts these achievements at risk, raising the spectre that cultural-linguistic norms, not a mature liberal democracy, will fashion the kind of state that future generations will inherit.Charles Doran examines why Canadian unity is important, what drives Quebec separatism in the American view, the concern that after Quebec succession the rest of Canada could unravel, and the nature of the historical era that has shaped and conditioned secessionist impulse. 606 $aSecession$zQue?bec (Province) 606 $aCultural pluralism$zCanada 606 $aPublic opinion$zUnited States 607 $aQue?bec (Province)$xHistory$xAutonomy and independence movements 607 $aCanada$xForeign public opinion, American 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aSecession 615 0$aCultural pluralism 615 0$aPublic opinion 676 $a971.4/04 700 $aDoran$b Charles F.$01032837 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910456388403321 996 $aWhy Canadian unity matters and why Americans care$92450930 997 $aUNINA
