the p-terminal precedent: "our nation is the Québec nation. Manitoba is—"

Marathe's one-line correction is the theme's crucial distinction (roster must): when Steeply keeps framing the p-terminal program as Marathe's "own nation['s]" work, Marathe cuts him off — "our nation is the Québec nation. Manitoba is—." Manitoba, English Canada, is not his; the Brandon program is as foreign to Québec as it is to the U.S. The A.F.R.'s fight is not pan-Canadian nationalism but specifically Québécois, and Marathe will not let the American collapse Québec into "Canada." The unfinished sentence is the whole Separatist premise in miniature.
