what the result of national referendum? (Charlottetown Accord)why it have this outcome?

the charlottetown accord was put to a national referendum in october 1992. Mulroney warned that rejection of the accord would endanger the very future of the nation. Still 54.5% canadian voters reject it.

so that mean that it won?

Charlottetown accord had so many clauses, each designed to please a different group, that it was easy to find fault. The greatest opposition was in BC, where 68.3% voted no. BC voters felt that the accord gave Quebec too much power. THey objected particulary to the guarantee that Quebec would always have 25% of the seats in the House of Commons, regardless of the size of its population.

The Canadian voters rejected this referendum. This means that the Charlottetown Accord lost and didn't become law.

You're welcome, Mohammad.

No, the Charlottetown Accord did not win. The majority of Canadian voters, 54.5% to be specific, rejected the accord in the national referendum held in October 1992.

The outcome of the referendum can be attributed to several factors. One of the main reasons was the complexity and diversity of the accord itself. The Charlottetown Accord contained numerous clauses that were designed to satisfy various groups and address different issues. However, this also made it easier for people to find faults or aspects they disagreed with.

In particular, the province of British Columbia (BC) had the highest opposition, with 68.3% of BC voters rejecting the accord. Their main concern was that the accord granted Quebec too much power. Specifically, they objected to the provision that guaranteed Quebec a fixed 25% of seats in the House of Commons, regardless of the size of its population. This perceived preferential treatment for Quebec was a significant factor in the rejection of the accord.

Additionally, there were other concerns and criticisms from various groups across the country. Some felt that the accord did not adequately address Indigenous rights, while others believed it did not go far enough in recognizing Quebec as a distinct society. These differing perspectives and issues contributed to the ultimate rejection of the Charlottetown Accord by the Canadian voters.
