Meet the Gen Z Quebec separatists

The Current

About this episode

As Quebec marks the Fete Nationale, we look at the new and very online generation of Quebecois independence activists. We speak to a 25-year-old Alex Valiquette about the explosion of pro-independence music and memes — and how the movement is reaching out to allophones and newcomers. Then, poll analyst Philippe Fournier gives a reality check about movement's strength among young people and the Quebec public at large — and how the Parti Quebecois promise to hold a referendum within four years could play into the upcoming fall election.
