Sont discutées les caractéristiques définitionnelles du populisme. Nous soutenons qu’au lieu d’être un imaginaire, le populisme est une stratégie de reconstruction de l’imaginaire politique dans les démocraties libérales. La distinction analytique ouvre la voie à des avancées méthodologiques pour l’étude du populisme en combinant ses dimensions symbolique et axiologique.

Supported by recent data from the Environics Institute, Ipsos and Angus Reid (2019, 2021) and existing literature on Western Canadian alienation, this essay explores the idea that Quebec is perceived both as a rejected model from a moral point of view (a poorer province, allied to the liberal eastern "elite" and beneficiating from equalization payments); but also as a political model ("distinct society" under the leadership of the Bloc Québécois, and recently copied by the Maverick Party). Thus, the mobilization of Quebec in the political discourse feeds a protest type of regional populism, consolidating an opposition between resources-based provinces of Western Canada to dependant but environmentally "judgemental" ones of Eastern Canada.

Embedded in the Canadian political economy, these two populisms took a sovereignist and left-wing form in Quebec; and a regionalist and separatist form in the West (Prairies and British Columbia). Both of them recast the link between the demand for control over territory and the demand for control of strategic resources, based on the powerful canadian extractive industry. The article begins with a brief sociohistorical analysis of regionalist populisms in the West. It clarifies the concept of petropopulism, which has dominated separatist formations in the West since the 1980s. Second, the article examines an episode in Quebec politics: the left-wing populism embodied by Québec Solidaire (QS), which articulates a nationalism in search of a State, with the rejection of extractive industries presented as "foreign" to the national body. The article concludes with some hypotheses on the future of populism in the structuration of Canadian politics.
