New Democrats: Quebec Politics

Quebec politics: But is this a sign of things to come in the battleground province?, according to Huffington Post. What could explain this change of fortune? Other recent polls have been hinting at potential Liberal weakness in Quebec. This could be due to any number of factors, but the issue dominating Quebec politics at the moment would seem to be the most likely culprit. The Parti Qu b cois' proposed Charter of Quebec Values has been panned by both Liberals and the NDP, despite it having support among francophone Quebecers though that support appears to be on the wane and New Democrats lead in Quebec in a major poll for the first time since Justin Trudeau became Liberal leader. The poll by CROP for La Presse , interviewing 1,000 Quebecers online between Sept. 12-15, suggests New Democrats have picked up six points in the last month and are now narrowly ahead in Quebec with 33 per cent support. That is the best the party has done in a poll by CROP since before Trudeau's leadership victory and the first time since then that the party has been ahead in the province in a large-sample survey by a Quebec-based pollster. More striking, however, is the 10-point drop by the Liberals to 31 per cent support. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
