PQ plans to hold a referendum on independence after Trump leaves office, but it is unclear if all voters support that idea

That's the way it works in Quebec we completely invest in a party, their legislative priorities are quickly manifested to be cultural or Quebec independence related, not health care or education or the economy and at some point people here realize they have been taken for a ride and completely reject the party in power and turn to another party that does the same. The PQ will wait to pursue a referendum on independence until after Trump leaves office (this was their actual position) as if when he leaves everything will be back to normal so again we will be taken for a ride.

PQ has stated a few priorities outside that which are going to be annoying.

  1. They oppose the TGV, pretty sure its why they did so good in the Laurentians but so poorly in Monteregie.

  2. They want to abolish Santé Quebec and restructure it, which will fuck with healthcare. The Dube hadnt had a terrible stewardship on healthcare and things were slowly getting better.

  3. In an extension to that they want to fire random bureaucrats. Always a bad idea. Far more to gain by cutting out all the consultants and external contractors the CAQ loved to hire. See the 3iem lien prep and SAAQClic.

  4. They oppose the 3iem lien, which is good, but they likely will be blocked at every corner by the PCQ over it as they are virtually a single issue party about this. Meaning they will likely flip on the issue and propose something.
