In this episode of The Lavigne Show, host Jason Lavigne sits down with Myriam Bohémier in Montreal, Quebec, for a unique east-meets-west conversation on Alberta’s movement toward self-determination. Bohémier brings a personal and philosophical perspective to the discussion.
The conversation examines Alberta’s challenges within Confederation, the importance of democratic choice, and the parallels between Alberta’s growing frustration and Quebec’s historic quest for autonomy. Bohémier reflects on the role of culture, identity, and provincial pride in fueling these movements and speaks to the need for respectful national dialogue, rather than censorship and division.
As a Quebecer, Bohémier expresses support for the people’s right to decide their future, regardless of the outcome. This is not about pushing an agenda, she says, but about defending the principle of self-determination that any free society should uphold.
This episode is part of a nationwide series examining Alberta’s future through thoughtful, open discussions with voices from across Canada. Whether you're for or against separation, this episode offers a heartfelt and principled examination of the issues from someone who has lived on both sides of the debate.
