For many decades, Québécois and Acadians remained relatively unified throughout Canada, particularly under the impetus of the ultramontane theocratic ideology. Following the appearance of the Québec sovereignty movement in the Canadian political sphere, matters have changed. The federal government's response to the challenge posed to Canadian territorial integrity by Qu é bec sovereignty has had an impact on relations between Québec and Francophone minorities. The impact of this clash of two competing political ideologies, Canadian federalism and Québec sovereignism, on the entire Canadian Francophonie was particularly felt on the national conversation among the Acadian people. Québec has the largest Acadian diaspora, and relations, especially political, between it and Acadia have been greatly disrupted for more than half a century. Given the relative decline in the representativeness of Francophone communities in Canadian federal political institutions, this essay argues that all Canadian Francophonies should come together to meet the new challenges posed by the contemporary political context. Acadia must therefore find the path that will reunite it with its diasporas, especially in Québec, despite the differences that sometimes separate them.
