THE BEST FRIEND OF THE PARTI QUÉBECOIS IN 2026
By Bernard Bujold-While the American president likes to declare that Canada would make a great 51st state of the USA, the debate could take a more serious turn if Quebec and Alberta decide to secede from Canada.
For a referendum to be called in Alberta, organizers must collect 177,732 valid signatures (10% of the electorate) by May 2.
In Quebec, René Lévesque, who was profoundly American at heart, gave a speech to the Economic Club of New York on January 25, 1977, in which he compared Quebec's accession to independence to the American Revolution, hoping for a very serious economic rapprochement with the Americans.
At the time, however, Pierre Trudeau persuaded President Jimmy Carter to distance himself from Lévesque and his activists, whom he compared to Cuban revolutionaries...
Lévesque then turned to France...
In 2026, the debate over a direct link with the United States could become serious, especially if Paul Saint-Pierre Plamondon is elected Premier of Quebec.
Should Quebec and Alberta decide to separate from Canada, the logical economic option would likely be an association with the Americans! Albertans' oil and Quebecers' electricity are their great wealth.
Obviously, making Quebec the 51st state is illusory, but the question that isn't is: Who will Donald Trump support in the October 5, 2026, election, which will be on the theme of Quebec's eventual separation? Carney or Plamondon?
My money's on Plamondon...
And if Alberta were to call a referendum in May, Trump would certainly get involved in the debate...
Happy end of January, in the Canadian snow!
