 \nBack to the Future: at a time when the leading provincial party in Quebe
 c and the ruling Alberta party are both looking at holding votes on secess
 ion\, a look-back at the 1995 referendum and the 30-year constitutional pe
 ace that followed.\n\nThirty years ago this month\, Quebec came within les
 s than 20\,000 votes from giving its government a mandate to negotiate its
  secession from the Canadian federation. Now that the unity issue is back 
 on the radar\, what\, if any\, lessons can be drawn from the 1995 near-dea
 th Canadian experience? And will blowing on the embers of the sovereignty 
 flames really stand to reignite the issue\, or could it instead extinguish
  them for another generation?\n\nThe talk will be followed by a Q&A and re
