I took you off.

As to your question.... not by my definition. To me its a recognition of their distinct character and the right to preserve that character, through provincial laws or whatever.

When people say "nation" in regards to Quebec, I think most people, especially the Quebec separtists, envision a "sovereign nation-state" which has powers equal to that of Canada.

This I don't believe in. They can't have their cake and eat it too.
