MONTREAL — Quebec separatists lashed out at the deal struck Saturday by Canada's leaders to keep the country united, calling it a surrender of nationalist hopes.
The opposition Parti Quebecois said Quebec Premier Robert Bourassa has betrayed the French-speaking province.
"Robert Bourassa has signed the definitive surrender of Quebec's national hopes, and he will carry an immeasurable responsibility with him into history," said party Vice President Bernard Landry.
