BBC Radio 4 - Waiting for Independence Day

As Scotland awaits a referendum on Independence, what has Quebec's experience been?

Scotland's nationalist government will present Scots with a referendum on independence soon. But what has the experience been in Quebec? Journalist Iain MacWhirter investigates.

Quebec has been asked twice whether it wants to become independent. Scotland will be asked the same question soon. Iain MacWhirter travels to Montreal and Ottawa to ask whether the experience of having a referendum hanging over it has harmed or galvanised Quebecois society?

Intelligent speech, the most insightful journalism, the wittiest comedy, the most fascinating features and the most compelling drama and readings anywhere in UK radio.
