I didn’t vote in 1995, I wasn’t 18, but I started getting involved a few years later, during the 1998 election that brought the Parti Québécois back to power.
I had and always have had great admiration for former Premier Lucien Bouchard. His great patriotic speeches during the 1995 referendum: pure magic of hope for a country to be built.

He certainly hits a good point!
