	Since the 1950s, the Quebec literary and artistic community is very engaged in the struggle for the independence of Quebec, the defence of the French language and development of Quebec's national culture. The support of talented artists and intellectuals is largely responsible for the wide support Quebec nationalism receives in the general public. You will find many writers, poets, playwrights and song writers under '''Opinions by individual militants''' just below.

	In the old dialectic between Québec and Ottawa, the one which started as ~~soon~~ as 1867, successive Québec parliaments wrestled the federal executive and legislative powers to keep them out the jurisdictions which are exclusive to provinces, as per the constitutional text of law. The contemporary movement for independence, which truly took form after WWII, initiated the breaking away from this useless dialogue that, even in the best scenario imaginable, would have left Quebec with less than equality.

Lefebvre1642: "bare in mind" is an error; the correct expression is "bear in mind", meaning to keep or carry in one's mind. I also changed the " that just won't give up..." into "that continues to this day."
