"Canada doesn't work," says PSPP after a vote in which 75% of Albertans chose Canada

In May 2025, Paul St-Pierre Plamondon held up Danielle Smith's referendum push as an example. On October 19, 2026, Albertans chose to stay in Canada by 74.93%. The next day, the PQ leader concluded that "Canada, as it is, does not work", without mentioning that result in the published excerpts.
