'Don't take anything for granted' when it comes to Quebec's appetite for a referendum
After the Parti Québécois won a minority government on Monday with only 28 per cent of the popular vote, some political commentators have downplayed the chances of a sovereignty referendum in Quebec. Pablo Rodriguez has some qualms with this assessment — if history is any indication, the temperature can change swiftly when it comes to Quebec independence. Rodriguez, a former Liberal MP who briefly led the Quebec Liberal Party in 2025, came on The Corner Booth to discuss the results of Quebec’s provincial election — as well as life after leaving politics.

Ruba Ghazal on why Québec solidaire’s sovereignty is ‘not against Canada’ | The Corner Booth
The latest polls say Paul St-Pierre Plamondon’s Parti Québécois is potentially on the cusp of winning a majority government in Monday’s provincial election. Should the PQ be held to a minority, all eyes will be on the other main sovereignist party — Québec solidaire — and whether they’ll work with or against Plamondon’s goal of holding a referendum. The way party co-leader Ruba Ghazal described it to hosts Bill Brownstein and Aaron Rand on the latest episode of The Corner Booth at Snowdon Deli, Québec solidaire’s vision of an independent Quebec is quite a bit different from the PQ’s.

Charles Milliard says referendum vote ‘is Monday, not in three years’ | The Corner Booth

He joined hosts Bill Brownstein and Aaron Rand on the latest episode of The Corner Booth at Snowdon Deli to explain why the Quebec Liberals are "the most rational people in town.”
