Autonomism in Quebec

In Quebec politics, autonomism is a stance on the national question which supports devolving greater powers to Quebec while remaining a Canadian province, often through asymmetric federalism. It is a middle position between independence and federalism. Autonomism was first proposed by Maurice Duplessis; it is mostly supported by conservative political parties, including Coalition Avenir Québec, which has been the ruling party of Quebec since 2018.

Drawing inspiration from René Lévesque's "beau risque", and Robert Bourassa's work on the Meech Lake Accord and Charlottetown Accord, Quebec autonomists propose:
