This is an image of various newspaper headlines the day after the Quebec referendum of 1995. The result of this referendum, which was held on the issue of Quebec sovereignty, was 'no', but only by a small margin: 49.42% of the vote supported the movement, while only 50.58% went against it - a difference of only 54,288 people, or 1.16%.
Below is a video of Gilles Duceppe during the 2011 election. Having lost all but 4 seats, Duceppe resigned the same night, as he was not even elected in his own riding. The failure of the Bloc Quebecois to get a substantial amount of seats in parliament meant that Quebec had less power in the federal government, and in return their needs and wants would not be accounted for to the extent that they had been before. The devastating defeat of the Bloc Quebecois was another obstruction in the path of the French Canadian efforts to separate from the rest of Canada.

This is an image of Pauline Marois, leader of the Parti Quebecois on April 7, 2014, as she gave her concession speech, her party having lost the 2014 Quebec election. With his election as premier of Quebec, any hope of Quebec's separation from Canada were to be ceased - or delayed for another 4 years. The French Canadian hope of having their own country, that would be governed by the wants and needs of their own people, and the vision of a dominion for the French Canadian people, were vanquished.
