Autonomy is doubly ingrained within minority francophone communities in Canada. It is ingrained in the very nature of the type of grouping that makes them up: nationalistic grouping. It is also ingrained in the historical continuity of the autonomy process that has marked the history of French Canada and that continues to immerse a large portion of these minority communities’ claims. Such continuity can be found today in proposals pertaining to cultural autonomy and the governance of official language minority communities. However, the road to autonomy is currently a difficult one for minority francophone communities due to the constitutional deadlock in Canada, the connection with the Quebec issue and the individualistic culture present in today’s era.
