War of Words, Canada, 1996

"A war of words erupted on the walls and airwaves of Montreal before the last referendum, but there was a remarkable lack of violence. To win the next vote—expected within two years—separatists will have to gain the trust of the city's large immigrant population."

—From "Quebec's Quandary," November 1997, National Geographic magazine
