What is the difference between a plebiscite and a referendum?

My experience in Canada, having actively participated in both, is that a referendum is a non-binding expression of the opinion of the electorate, whereas the result of a plebiscite is binding on the government. It would appear, however, that this distinction is not universal.

What is meant by plebiscite?
A plebiscite refers to a type of referendum. In it, the voters of a given jurisdiction place their votes on some proposal, usually for motion in the legislative body of that region.
