Before june the 21st 1968, their name was Suret� PROVINCIAL du Quebec, and something happened in 1968 here in Quebec, something kept secret, and their new name became Suret� du Qu�bec, they scratch PROVINCIAL off their Name....
I THINK that Quebec is NOT a province anymore since 1968.
Quebec is a FREE STATE, they did it WITHOUT asking no one, and they tried to make it happen PUBLICLY in 1980 and 1995, but it didn't worked :D
Maybe Andrew Langevin have some insights about this ?
