7:30 PM to 9:15 PM

With Britain’s recent vote to leave the European Union, can we be sure that something similar will not happen in Quebec? Where do the majority of Quebecers currently stand on separation? What would an independent Quebec look like? What would happen to the rest of Canada? From language politics, to the Quebec Charter of Values, to sovereignty and much more, please join the Salt Spring Forum in discussion with Gilles Duceppe, the highly influential, articulate and proudly Quebecois politician.


Gilles Duceppe was the first politician ever elected to the House of Commons on a sovereigntist platform. He served as leader of the Bloc Québécois from 1997 to 2011, and again, briefly, in 2015. A former hospital orderly, union negotiator and community organizer, he is now one of the most sought-after political analysts in Quebec.
