Try reading comprehension.

What was said, and your reply:

people in Quebec who voted "oui" thought they would still be Canadian citizens...

The referendum issue was whether Québec as a province should separate. The people that wanted to be a part of Canada voted "NON", the separatists voted "OUI".


And SOME people who voted yes DID believe that they would retain Canadian citizenship after "separation", which is the point that you were responding to. ("People" = "some people", not "all people".) THAT was the point, I believe.

The requirement for clarity, and negotiation rather than unilateralism, was addressed by the Clarity Act and the Supreme Court's decision in Reference re Secession of Quebec.

I find discussions of Québécois sensibilities and aspirations being conducted in the absence of any actual Québécois rather pointless, myself.
