Pauline Marois: Quebec

Parti Quebecois Dept: Marois even claimed in a Laval campaign stop September 3 that her Parti Quebecois is the only party committed to the real problems of families. , according to The Star. Marois takes a backseat among prominent Quebec politicians only to the bizarrely Anglophilic Jacques Parizeau as a separatist hardliner. No one dare call the 44-year-old PQ project racist, though that s what any honest sociologist and political scientist would recognize it to be and thirty-two days into Quebec s 33-day election campaign, which culminates in a vote September 4, Pauline Marois finally got around to bread and butter issues like daycare, seniors care, tax relief, and traffic congestion in Montreal. At this writing, it s impossible to forecast an election outcome. Of two things one can be certain, though. Marois s agenda is breaking up Canada, not tending to the welfare of Quebeckers. And even if the PQ is able to form a minority government, as polls favour it to do, a majority of Quebeckers have moved beyond the race-based politics of the PQ. (www.immigrantscanada.com).
