That was not the definitive answer to the question of what next for Quebec. The crowd in Montreal was venting some of the frustration that had built up during years of wearying constitutional dispute about the status of the Gallic province of 6.5 million people in the midst of a predominantly English- speaking country of 26.5 million.

The accent is equally Gallic at L'Ecole, the aptly named restaurant of the French Culinary Institute in New York City's SoHo district.
