 :\n\nBack to the Future: at a time when the leading provincial party in Qu
 ebec and the ruling Alberta party are both looking at holding votes on sec
 ession\, a look-back at the 1995 referendum and the 30-year constitutional
  peace that followed.\n\nThirty years ago this month\, Quebec came within 
 less than 55\,000 votes from giving its government a mandate to negotiate 
 its secession from the Canadian federation. Now that the unity issue is ba
 ck on the radar\, what\, if any\, lessons can be drawn from the 1995 near-
 death Canadian experience? And will blowing on the embers of the sovereign
 ty flames really stand to reignite the issue\, or could it instead extingu
 ish them for another generation?\n\nThe talk will be followed by a Q&A and
  reception. This event is free and open to the public. Reserve your ticket
