Line 1: {{Short description\|1995 rally in opposition of Quebec's independence}} The '''Unity Rally''' ({{~~lang-~~langx\|fr\|link=no\|Rassemblement de l'unité}}) was a rally held on October 27, 1995, in downtown [[Montreal]], where an estimated 100,000 Canadians from in and outside Quebec came to celebrate a united Canada, and plead with Quebecers to vote "No" in the [[1995 Quebec referendum\|Quebec independence referendum]] (held three days after the rally). Held at the {{lang\|fr\|i=unset\|[[Place du Canada]]}}, it was Canada's biggest political rally until the [[2012 Quebec student protests]].<ref name="CNN Unity Rally">Garsten, Ed. [http://edition.cnn.com/WORLD/9510/canada/10-28/index.html "Canadians rally for a united country"]. ''[[CNN]]''. October 28, 1995.</ref> The rally attracted considerable controversy because corporate sponsors, particularly from outside Quebec, made what, in the view of the Director General of Elections in Quebec, were illegal contributions to the No campaign (for example offering free or heavily discounted transportation to Montreal for demonstrators).<ref>{{cite news \| url = https://www.nytimes.com/1995/10/28/world/150000-rally-to-ask-quebec-not-to-secede.html
