Description
Long live free Quebec!) was a controversial phrase in a speech delivered by President Charles de Gaulle of France on July 24, 1967, during an official visit to Canada under the pretext of attending Expo 67 in Montreal, Quebec. While giving an address to a large crowd from a balcony at Montreal City Hall, he uttered Vive Montréal; Vive le Québec ! (Long live Montreal, Long live Quebec!) and then added, followed by loud applause, Vive le Québec libre ! (Long live free Quebec!) with particular emphasis on the word 'libre'.
