"Quebec Nationalism" or "Quebec nationalism"? I'm thinking the latter. "Quebecois nationalism" may be even better. -- stewacide

Lower case would be better, yes. "Quebecois nationalism" would not be appropriate because, if in French "Québécois" simply means an inhabitant of Québec, in the English language it seems it refers to the French language culture of Quebec, not the whole of Quebec. Since "Quebecan nationalism", "Quebecian nationalism", or "Quebecer nationalism" either don't exist or sound improper, "Quebec nationalism" is the only choice left. This is how it is referred to in English. -- Mathieugp

My point was that the nationalism in question is restricted to the old-stock French speaking majority (the English usage of "Quebecois" as you correctly pointed out), and since that's what this article is about (right?) it would seem to be more acurate than just "Quebec".
"Quebec nationalism" would have to include all the nationalisms in the province of Quebec (not only the Quebecois majority, but the English, various indian and Inuit groups, etc.), but I don't beleive that's the intent of this article. -- stewacide 23:28, 23 Nov 2003 (UTC)

p.s. you should have moved the talk page with the article.
