WHEREAS, according to Jon G. Bradley, Associate Professor (Retired), Education/McGill University: Quebec is not a "nation".

It never has been. Its status is recognized by the United Nations as a province within the nation of Canada. Calling oneself something does not make it so and Quebec's intelligentsia is deliberately misusing the word "nation" so as to imply a reality that exists only in their self-mirage. The only precise word to use regarding Quebec's reality is "province". If English is to be respected, then we - those who are English speakers - must demand that all those who use our language do so correctly and with respect. We must insist that Quebec is always referred to as a "province"; The concept of "collective rights" may exist in a labour bargaining situation but not when identifying those unique protections held by individuals. A review of the United Nations, Canadian and Quebec Charters clearly illustrate that "freedoms and rights" are attached solely to the individual. Therefore, a person may have a religious right, but a gaggle or collective cannot have a similar right. For example, an individual has freedom of expression, but a collective freedom of expression is an impossible concept and absurd on its face. Rights rest individually embedded in each citizen and not within a collective.
