On October 30, 1995, for the second time in 15 years, Quebecers were asked to vote on their province’s constitutional future in a referendum led by the Parti Québécois administration. After a very close campaign, the federalist camp won again, with 50.6% of the vote. However, this time, the “Oui” won 53% of the vote in the Québec City region, with a majority in almost all ridings, except Jean-Talon. Do you have any memories of the 1995 referendum?

The business community typically wanted to keep Quebec in the Canadian Confederation. Business people in the Québec City area organized a meeting during the fall 1995 referendum campaign in favour of the “Non” vote. Daniel Johnson, leader of the Quebec Liberal Party and the “Non” camp, had a front-row seat.
