nittanylionstorm07 Posted April 21, 2011 Report Posted April 21, 2011 How much do you think the Parti Quebecois convention where Marois was resoundingly endorsed as leader and a severely radical agenda was released affected the Bloc in federal polling? Remember, this agenda amounted to support of an authoritarian system against anglophone business people and francophone students. It hasn't been mentioned much, but I believe this agenda being tied to separatism which is tied to the BQ has hindered the BQ extensively in polling and has helped the NDP, which has values the majority of Quebecois hold.

You forgot to say the PQ wants to eat babies, rape dogs, establish slavery, hung anyone who dares to wear a maple leafs jersey and put a reward for the one who will kill Don Cherry. You are living in a fictional world that has nothing to do with the reality. Quote

You are living in a fictional world that has nothing to do with the reality. Are you denying that the agenda put forth by the PQ at their convention was radical beyond imagination? You do realize that the younger generation in Quebec- anglo and franco- generally oppose separation from Canada unlike the older generation? ...and that agenda could have sparked the youth into action to vote against separatist ideals?

August1991 Posted April 21, 2011 Report Posted April 21, 2011 It hasn't been mentioned much, but I believe this agenda being tied to separatism which is tied to the BQ has hindered the BQ extensively in polling and has helped the NDP, which has values the majority of Quebecois hold.It has had no effect. If anything, Marois managed to get the party to rescind a decision to make all signage French. Marois received 93% support which is unprecedented in the PQ (and also vaguely hard to believe). The one controversial decision was to apply the Bill 101 to Cegeps but this should be seen within a broader debate about learning English. These are also only party resolutions and the final election platform has not yet been decided. Marois has made no commitment about holding a referendum.The PQ has an extensive organization on the ground and will help to deliver the Bloc vote on May 2nd. Similarly, the Quebec Liberal organization is working with the Conservatives in areas such as Lac St-Jean and around Quebec City. Quote
