Populism, Sovereignty, and Democracy in Alberta
By McGill Institute for the Study of Canada

McGill Faculty Club and Conference Centre
Jan 19 from 4pm to 6pm EST
Overview
A lecture by Dr. Jared Wesley (University of Alberta)
Join MISC at 4:00 pm on Monday, January 19th at the Faculty Club (3450 McTavish Street) for Dr. Jared Wesley's lecture on Populism, Sovereignty, and Democracy in Alberta.
From a conventional perspective, Alberta politics today seems like a more extreme version of itself. In this view, the UCP government is one of the most conservative in the province's history and a century's worth of western alienation has come to a crescendo with the rise of separatism. A closer look reveals something different about Alberta's new right, however: they are not conservative, and their goals have less to do with sovereignty than "making Alberta great again." The Common Ground team at the University of Alberta has surveyed over 10,000 Albertans and convened over 100 focus groups over the past six years. Our findings reveal a decided disconnect between public opinion and political culture in the province, exposing daylight between who Albertans are and who they see themselves to be as a community. In this talk, Dr. Jared Wesley outlines how this gap contributes to the democratic backsliding and separatist movements in the province, and what Albertans must do to pull the province back from the brink.
The lecture will be followed by a Q&A and reception. This event is free and open to public; registration is required via Eventbrite.
Jared Wesley is Associate Dean (Graduate Studies), Co-Director of the Peter Lougheed School of Politics and Democracy, a professor of political science, and member of the Black Faculty Collective at the University of Alberta. He leads the Common Ground research team, which is examining the intersection of public opinion, political culture, and public policy in Western Canada. He has co-authored three best-selling books in Canadian politics and public administration: Inside Canadian Politics, The Public Servant's Guide to Politics in Canada, and No I in Team: Party Loyalty in Canadian Politics.

Les chemins entre le mot et l’image
23.01.2026 – 28.03.2026
Vernissage @ ARTEXTE
22.01.2026 – 17h00
Soyez des nôtres le jeudi 22 janvier 2026 pour le vernissage de « Les chemins entre le mot et l’image », une exposition par l’artiste Marie Samuel Levasseur.
Décrire une œuvre, pour Marie Samuel Levasseur, n’est jamais un geste neutre ou technique : c’est une manière d’être en relation, de saisir la parole soit pour accueillir, soit pour exclure. Chaque description est une voix. Cette exposition propose de circuler à travers les voix qui créent des voies entre le langage et ce qui fait image.
Vernissage en deux temps : dans l’objectif d’assurer un accès sécuritaire à toustes, la première heure d’ouverture de ce vernissage, soit de 17h00 à 18h00, le port du masque sera obligatoire. Des masques de grade médical seront fournis si vous n’avez pas le vôtre. Dès 18h00, le port du masque sera suggéré. Toutefois, si vous avez des symptômes de grippe ou de rhume, veuillez s’il-vous-plaît considérer de porter un masque pour le bien-être de toustes. Merci de votre collaboration.
gratuit | sans réservation | ouvert à toustes

The Paths Between Word and Image
01.23.2026 – 03.28.2026
Opening @ ARTEXTE
01.23.2026 – 5:00 pm
Join us on Thursday, January 22nd, 2026, for the opening of “The Paths Between Word and Image”, an exhibition by artist Marie Samuel Levasseur.
For Marie Samuel Levasseur, describing a work of art is never a neutral or technical act: it’s a way of relating to others, of using words either to welcome or exclude. Every description is a voice. This exhibition invites visitors to move through the voices that create pathways between language and imagery.
Two parts opening: in order to ensure safe access for everyone, face masks will be mandatory during the first hour of the exhibition opening, from 5:00 to 6:00. Starting 6:00 pm onwards, masks will be recommended. However, if you have flu or cold like symptoms, please consider wearing a mask for the well-being of everyone. Thank you for your cooperation.

Event by: Fonderie Darling


745, rue Ottawa, Montreal, QC, Canada, Quebec H3C 1R8
Duration: 13 hr 30 min

La Fonderie Darling vous invite à découvrir les recherches récentes des artistes en résidence, Baptiste Eybert, Dagmara Genda et Yael Frank, réalisées lors de leur séjour au centre.
Les conversations modérées avec Dagmara Genda et Yael Frank auront lieu en anglais, avec une interprétation en français assurée sur place.
> Gratuit
> Rez-de-chaussée et au 3e étage
> Accessible par escaliers seulement
BAPTISTE EYBERT
Baptiste Eybert est un artiste plasticien pluridisciplinaire basé à Montpellier. Né et élevé à Paris, il est diplômé du DNSEP de l’École des beaux-arts de Montpellier (2020). Avant de se consacrer pleinement aux arts visuels, il évolue plusieurs années dans le milieu de la mode en tant que couturier, directeur artistique et styliste ; une expérience qui marque durablement son approche de la matière textile.
Les Résidences Transatlantiques 2025-2026 sont rendues possibles grâce au soutien du Consulat général de France à Québec, de Culture Pro – Ministère de la Culture (France), ainsi que des partenaires du MO.CO, de Quartier Éphémère et de Matapédia Jonction Pôle.


DAGMARA GENDA
Dagmara Genda est artiste et écrivaine indépendante. Elle a immigré au Canada depuis la Pologne et vit à Berlin depuis 2017. Partant du dessin, son travail s'étend à la sculpture, à l'installation et à l'art public. À la Fonderie Darling, Genda continue à « décoller » les dessins de leur surface et à les contraindre à s'adapter à l'espace physique. Avec de nouvelles sculptures métalliques et des œuvres sur papier, elle travaille avec et contre la gravité pour transposer la logique de la page dans un espace tridimensionnel.


YAEL FRANK
Le travail interdisciplinaire axé sur la recherche de Yael Frank examine la fragilité inhérente à toute action par le biais de la sculpture, de la vidéo, de l'architecture et de la création d'images. Pendant la résidence, Frank poursuit le développement de « Sniff », un film parodique sur la nature qui juxtapose l'absurdité convoquée par des marionnettes et le sérieux écologique. Ce projet multidisciplinaire explore les thèmes du mutisme, de l'effondrement du langage et de la crise de l'agentivité par le biais d'une vidéo sculpturale.

> Accessible by stairs only
BAPTISTE EYBERT
Baptiste Eybert is a multidisciplinary visual artist based in Montpellier. Born and raised in Paris, he graduated from the École des Beaux-Arts de Montpellier with a DNSEP degree in 2020. Before devoting himself fully to the visual arts, he spent several years working in the fashion industry as a couturier, artistic director, and stylist, an experience that had a lasting impact on his approach to textiles.
The 2025-2026 Transatlantic Residencies are made possible thanks to the support of the Consulate General of France in Quebec City, Culture Pro – Ministry of Culture (France), as well as partners MO.CO, Quartier Éphémère and Matapédia Jonction Pôle.


DAGMARA GENDA
Dagmara Genda is an independent artist and writer. She immigrated to Canada from Poland and has been living in Berlin since 2017. Starting with drawing, her work extends to sculpture, installation, and public art. At Fonderie Darling, Genda continues to “peel” drawings from their surface and force them to adapt to physical space. With new metal sculptures and works on paper, she works with and against gravity to transpose the logic of the page into three-dimensional space.


YAEL FRANK
Yael Frank's interdisciplinary research-based work examines the fragility inherent in all action through sculpture, video, architecture, and image creation. During the residency, Frank continues to develop "Sniff", a parodic film about nature that juxtaposes the absurdity evoked by puppets with ecological seriousness. This multidisciplinary project explores themes of muteness, the collapse of language, and the crisis of agency through sculptural video.
