"Join us, or be screwed as an enclave?" Yeah, great choice.
It remains to be seen if would indeed be an enclave and if the situation would effectively as bad a you present it. It would be a threeway negociation. If Québec is ok with Canadian Aboriginales on its territory, Aboriginales and Canada might have counter propositions to make. Part of the mystery around it is that Canada won't say what it is willing to do, as that would mean it could accept Québec's independence.
Allow me to restate - at the moment, you couldn't legally discriminate against Anglophones in Quebec, correct?
Sure we can, like francophones are discriminated right now in the rest of Canada on various issues. But it doesn't mean we do it. At least not intentionally. But there are issues that pop up from time time and those are usually settled in court. It is part nature of having a minority and a constitution.
Is the sovereignty movement dedicated to a new constitution that would prevent discrimination against anglophones?
It is dedicated to a new constitution that would prevent discrimination.
In an absolute sense, the only things that are inevitable are death and taxes, yes. But, as I note above - you can make the constitution for the new country part of the referendum - "If we leave, we leave under the following rules...." So, everyone knows that they are getting into before they choose. Is that being done?
It wasn't like that. In 1980 there was supposed to have one referendum to first get the mandate to negociate sovereignty-association with Canada, and then bring back the results of the negociation with Canada to the people. Then a second referendum was supposed to be held to get their vote on it. At the time Canada did not have a constitution or a charter of rights and freedoms, so that wasn't an issue.
In 1995 it was about the same thing, but the referendum also gave the government the legitimacy to declare unilaterally Québec's independence if negociations weren't going well with Canada. Canada is very protective of Québec's anglophone minority, so their rights would be secure when negociating secession with Canada.
How a third referendum would look like, if a referendum is used to achieve independence, hasn't been discussed. It won't happen soon since no independentist party is in power and elections are far away.
Canada is very protective of Québec's anglophone minority, so their rights would be secure when negociating secession with Canada. In terms of realpolitiks, the anglophone minority's rights is a bargaining chip for Québec.
