it's not just the October crisis. that's the most commonly known thing about quebec independance since it's by far the largest event linked to it.
quebec has a rather major independance movement that has been a big part of quebec politics since 1960-ish. i could go in detail about this, but i won't.
I'm not sure why tftv decided to give Quebec its own flag, but I'm kind of happy they did. not that it would matter much anyway... i wouldn't mind using the canadian flag since it's just a forum.
as a big supporter of the independance movement, I'm still glad i can pick a separate flag though.
giving quebec users a separate flag to choose instead of the canadian one is a great way to appeal to the independantist movement up here. being able to choose "Quebec" as your "country" on a forum is a rare thing on the internet and is something most hardcore independantists will be happy about.
I'm not very connected with US independance movements, but i know there are a few for some key states (california and texas). in that logic, tftv could give texans and californians their own flags to allow users to show their support for their state or their state's independance movement.
unless every state has a prominent independance movement?
