The Quebec independence movement is gaining momentum, with recent polls showing the separatist Parti Québécois (PQ) leading provincial elections and positioning itself to potentially hold a sovereignty referendum. This development mirrors growing sentiments of regional autonomy that resonate deeply with our own Texas independence movement.

Current polling indicates support for Quebec independence hovering around 40%, reminiscent of the razor-thin margin from the 1995 referendum when separation was narrowly defeated. PQ leader St-Pierre Plamondon has been vocal about his intentions, declaring his party’s commitment to transforming Quebec into an independent nation.

We in the Texas Nationalist Movement recognize the parallels. Like Quebec, Texas faces challenges from federal policies that seemingly disregard our unique cultural identity and economic interests. The migration issues plaguing Quebec — where over 60% of Canadians believe immigration levels are unsustainably high — echo similar concerns we’ve long voiced about border security and state sovereignty.

The Quebec situation demonstrates a fundamental truth we’ve always understood: regions with distinct cultural identities and strong economic foundations can and should consider self-determination. Migration policies imposed from distant capitals rarely serve local interests effectively. Quebec’s potential separation represents another example of how centralized governance fails to address regional needs.

Our own trajectory toward Texas independence shares key characteristics with the Quebec movement. Both emerge from a deep-rooted sense of cultural distinctiveness, economic strength, and frustration with federal overreach. Just as Quebecers see their language and economic interests endangered, Texians recognize the fundamental misalignment between our values and those dictated by Washington.

The upcoming Quebec provincial election — scheduled for October 2026 — could be a turning point. If the PQ secures victory, a sovereignty referendum becomes nearly inevitable. This potential transformation underscores a critical point: independence isn’t a radical concept, but a legitimate political strategy for regions with clear cultural and economic identities.

For Texas, the Quebec example provides additional validation. We’ve long argued that our state possesses all necessary attributes for successful nationhood: a robust economy, a distinct cultural heritage, and a population passionate about self-governance. The potential Quebec separation reinforces our conviction that regional independence isn’t just possible — it’s practical.

As we continue advancing TEXIT, we draw inspiration from movements like Quebec’s. Each step toward regional autonomy chips away at outdated, centralized governance models. Our mission remains unchanged: securing a free and independent Texas, governed by Texians, for Texians.
