Referendums in Canada

National referendums are seldom used in Canada. The first two referendums saw voters in Québec and Canada take dramatically opposing stands, the third saw most of the voters take a stand dramatically opposed to that of the politicians in power.

Famous quotes containing the word canada:

    “In Canada an ordinary New England house would be mistaken for the château, and while every village here contains at least several gentlemen or “squires,” there is but one to a seigniory.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
