Youth-Led March in Montreal Revives Quebec Independence Debate

 

        Hundreds of Montrealers join march calling for Quebec independence.

Hundreds of Montrealers filled the streets on Saturday, marking the 30th anniversary of the 1995 Quebec referendum with a spirited march for independence. Organized by OUI Québec and the Société Saint-Jean-Baptiste de Montréal, the demonstration highlighted a renewed push for sovereignty, this time led largely by younger generations.

Camille Goyette-Gingras, president of OUI Québec, said the movement has shifted since the 1990s. “Gen Z is looking for systemic change, and for them, independence is exactly that,” she explained. Unlike past efforts driven by political parties, today’s campaign is described as a citizen-led, non-partisan movement.

The marchers carried Quebec flags and chanted slogans calling for a new referendum, reflecting optimism that sovereignty could return to the political agenda. The event also served as a reminder of the razor-thin margin of the 1995 vote, when federalists prevailed with just 50.58 per cent support.

With the Parti Québécois currently leading in polls and aiming for another referendum by 2030, Saturday’s march underscored how the independence question remains alive — and increasingly energized by a new generation of Quebecers.
