La Nation
''La Nation'' (''The Nation'') was a weekly review covering Canadian (Québécois) politics and literature. It was directed by Paul Bouchard and ran from 1936 to 1939. It had a right wing sovereigntist, Quebec nationalist stance, and took for its motto "Pour un État libre français en Amérique" (For a Free French State in America). La Nation's writers consisted of students who rejected the clerico-nationalism of the Catholic priest and nationalist Lionel Groulx. The weekly aimed to be both secular and critical of the British. Its supporters formed the Republican Fasces, a small, fascist group which was similarly directed by Bouchard. In 1962, supporters of Quebec independence reclaimed the heritage of La Nation and founded La Libre Nation, whose motto was "Pour un Québec libre et français" (For a Free and French Quebec).

Right Wing
Right-wing politics describes the range of political ideologies that view certain social orders and hierarchies as inevitable, natural, normal, or desirable, typically supporting this position on the basis of natural law, economics, authority, property or tradition.T. Alexander Smith, Raymond Tatalovich. ''Cultures at war: moral conflicts in western democracies''. Toronto, Canada: Broadview Press, Ltd, 2003. p. 30. "That viewpoint is held by contemporary sociologists, for whom 'right-wing movements' are conceptualized as 'social movements whose stated goals are to maintain structures of order, status, honor, or traditional social differences or values' as compared to left-wing movements which seek 'greater equality or political participation.' In other words, the sociological perspective sees preservationist politics as a right-wing attempt to defend privilege within the ''social hierarchy''."''Left and right: the significance of a political distinction'', Norberto Bobbio and ...

Quebec Sovereignty Movement
The Quebec sovereignty movement (french: Mouvement souverainiste du Québec) is a political movement whose objective is to achieve the sovereignty of Quebec, a province of Canada since 1867, including in all matters related to any provision of Quebec's public order that is applicable on its territory. Sovereignists suggest that the people of Quebec make use of their right to self-determination – a principle that includes the possibility of choosing between integration with a third state, political association with another state or independence – so that Quebecois, collectively and by democratic means, give themselves a sovereign state with its own independent constitution. Quebec sovereigntists believe that such a sovereign state, the Quebec nation, will be better equipped to promote its own economic, social, ecological and cultural development. Quebec's sovereignist movement is based on Quebec nationalism. Overview Ultimately, the goal of Quebec's sovereignist movement ...
