News brief
Three decades since Canada鈥檚 鈥淯nity Rally.鈥
Tens of thousands of Canadians marched 30 years ago today in Montreal to convince Quebecers to reject independence. The 鈥渘o鈥 vote narrowly won the 1995 referendum, with 51% opting to keep the French-speaking province in Canada. There was a small protest in Montreal on Saturday in support of independence, but surveys show two-thirds of Quebecers would vote against it today. While Canadian unity is still sometimes tested, opposition to the Trump administration has given the federation a boost 鈥 as has the Blue Jays鈥 World Series run this week.
