Stumbling to the vote: missteps by the Yes side mask the confusion in the Ottawa ranks

Article Abstract:

The campaign in favor of the referendum to authorize Quebec's withdrawal from federal Canada has been slow to catch fire, and appears to be trailing in pre-election polls. However, if enough undecided voters back the measure, it will pass. The federalist opposition is running a tepid campaign.

Passionate politics

Article Abstract:

Politicians have engaged in a great deal of harsh rhetoric in the debate over the Oct 30, 1995, referendum on Quebec independence. Separatist and federalist leaders have set an acrimonious tone rather than debating the issues civilly. In contrast, most of the electorate seems less passionate.
