What Alberta Can Learn from Quebec’s Referendum Experience
In this episode of The Lavigne Show, host Jason Lavigne sits down with Maxime Bernier, leader of the People’s Party of Canada, to discuss Alberta’s path toward self-determination. Filmed in Montreal, Quebec, the conversation examines what Alberta can learn from Quebec’s sovereignty efforts, including the 1995 referendum, and what a future referendum in Alberta might entail.
Bernier reflects on his support for Quebec’s right to self-determination, having voted “Yes” in 1995, and draws parallels to the growing movement in Alberta. He shares his views on federal overreach, the importance of respecting the constitution, and why he believes Albertans deserve the chance to vote on their future. While remaining a Federalist, Bernier openly supports Alberta’s right to hold a referendum and pledges to stand with Albertans should they vote in favour of independence.
The discussion also touches on Danielle Smith’s political balancing act, potential U.S. recognition of an Alberta referendum, and what various outcomes, independence, constitutional renegotiation, or even becoming the 51st U.S. state, could mean for the province.
This episode is part of a nationwide series examining Alberta’s future through thoughtful, open discussions with voices across Canada. Whether you’re for or against separation, this conversation offers insight into the legal, political, and cultural questions shaping the road ahead.
