You guys!!!!! As a Québécois, I can't begin to tell you how fucking happy I am!!!

These guys don't stand a fucking chance at the next elections. Their goose is cooked. The Québec Liberal party is also in shambles.

This leaves Parti Québécois (which has a terrible leader right now, but he's unfortunately the most apt to lead anything right now) and the Québec Solidaire who simply act like a damn college student union that are disorganized and can't make up their mind about anything because it's made up of leftists and uber-leftists and nothing is ever left enough for anybody so no decisions can be made.

We really need a provincial NDP here. Or a regular non-separatist labour party of some kind.

So the PQ is probably going to win, in your assessment?

Unfortunately, yes. 

[–] ikidd@lemmy.world 6 points 1 day ago (1 children)

The Parti Québécois (PQ), which has promised to hold a referendum if they win

I couldn't imagine a stupider thing for Quebec to do right now, given the sabre-rattling coming from the south of us.

[–] CanadaPlus@lemmy.sdf.org 1 points 11 hours ago

I'm guessing it would mostly be stupid for the government in power, and staying in Canada would win decisively.

In Alberta there's a barely-concealed affinity between separatists and MAGA, so it becomes a useful wedge issue to unite your own party. Not so in Quebec.

huh. Are there popular replacements in the wings?

It sounds like the party is in the toilet, and the PQ is riding high in the polls...

Popular ? No

But the names that were said are : Sonia Lebel, Simon Jolin-Barette or ex-ADQ(old CAQ)’s chef Mario Dumont

They are each a piece of shit in their own way

Does this look like an end to these awful/blatantly racist religious symbol bans?

[–] mrdown@lemmy.world 1 points 1 hour ago

No PQ is even more extreme. The leader believe in the century initiative which is similar to the grand replacement theory just not religious. He blames minorities like trump do. He also complained about an article showing increase in xenophobic ideas like imigration contributing to the increase of criminality

Hell no, Quebecers love those bans.
