Episode Details

Jean Allaire, the visionary co-founder of the ADQ and architect of Quebec’s constitutional awakening, has died at 96. His landmark 1991 report—born from the ashes of Meech Lake—called for 22 federal powers to return to Quebec and a sovereignty referendum if talks stalled, reshaping the province’s political DNA. Though he later left the Liberals and helped birth the ADQ, his legacy lives on through its merger with the CAQ and the enduring debate over Quebec’s place in Canada. Tributes poured in from across the spectrum: Legault called him a unifier, Dumont hailed him as a “lover of Quebec.” His voice still echoes in every conversation about autonomy, power, and identity.
