Quebec Opposition Parties Want PQ to Take Note of Alberta Referendum
The opposition leaders said Quebec should seek more powers from Ottawa instead, after about three-quarters of Albertans rejected a future separation vote.
- Two opposition leaders, Quebec Conservative Party Leader Eric Duhaime and Liberal Leader Charles Milliard, are urging Parti leader St-Pierre Plamondon to abandon his referendum promise following the Alberta vote.
- About three-quarters of Albertans rejected an independence referendum yesterday, though they supported negotiating for increased provincial powers and changes to the Constitution.
- Liberal Leader Charles Milliard welcomed the Alberta rejection as consistent with his party's federalist commitment, while Duhaime argued Quebec should mirror Alberta's strategy to secure federal gains.
- Facing pressure to align with these calls, St-Pierre Plamondon is being urged by opposition leaders to prioritize federal negotiations over sovereignty referendums, which Duhaime claims are already subject to consensus.
- While Duhaime advocates for an alliance with Alberta to shift the balance of power, he explicitly opposes adopting the multi-question referendum approach used by Albertans.
