    Referendum Question Unveiled

    Finally, the question. It is not long: only 41 words in French, 43 in English. Nor is it as clear as Jacques Parizeau always promised it would be.

    Reforestation

    Many people believe a new sapling must be planted to replace every tree that is harvested. In fact, the FOREST regenerates naturally. After logging, young shoots grow and develop quickly because they have more room and good exposure to sunlight.

    The Reform Party was a right-wing, populist, western political protest movement that grew to become the official opposition in Parliament in 1997. Reform played a role in the creation of the Canadian Alliance, as well as the demise of the federal Progressive Conservative Party — and the eventual merger of those two groups into today's Conservative Party.

    Refus Global Manifesto

    Refus Global Manifesto We are the offspring of modest French-Canadian families, working class or lower middle class, who, ever since their arrival from the Old Country, have always remained French and Catholic through resistance to the conqueror, through strong attachment to the past, by choice and sentimental pride and out of sheer necessity.

    Regina Cyclone

    The Regina Cyclone was an F4-scale tornado that struck Regina, Saskatchewan on 30 June 1912. It is generally considered the deadliest tornado in Canadian history. It killed 28 people, injured 300, and left about 2,500 temporarily homeless. The tornado also destroyed half the city’s businesses and 200 of its homes, causing at least $1.2 million in damage (roughly $30.5 million in today’s dollars). Rebuilding took two years, while paying off the rebuilding debt took a decade.
