Quebecs National Assembly

Quebecs National Assembly: Maybe, but it hasnt started so well, according to The Star. Electoral fortunes will ride in part on how parties cast their messages on secularism, about which the electorate is divided as a recent CROP poll cleverly illustrates between four roughly equal groups: closed secularists, open secularists, tolerant believers predominantly minorities and pure-laine Catholics and As the new session in Quebecs National Assembly begins in earnest with the charter of values looming large, the question on everyones lips is: Is there a path to a potential majority government for the Parti Qu b cois? Recent polls show that support for the charter and its main provisions has tapered off significantly. Meanwhile, the PQ has made modest gains in voting intentions, Liberal support is ebbing after a brief honeymoon for Philippe Couillard , and the Coalition Avenir Qu bec has dropped out of contention almost everywhere.
