Quebecois and Parti Quebecois

Parti Quebecois: The time has come to newly reflect on our future, the Parti Quebecois leader said, speaking forcibly for a partisan crowd of placard-waving Pequistes in a Laval hotel ballroom, where she formally unveiled the partys election platform, according to The Star.

Its time to put aside moroseness and renew the determination that characterizes our people. . . . The Quebecois wont apologize for existing and QUE. Pauline Marois yearns for a sovereign Quebec as soon as possible, but promises not to rush the province into its third referendum to split from Canada. In a speech that was as self-congratulatory as it was deprecating toward her chief opponent, Liberal Leader Philippe Couillard , Marois positioned herself as the true defender of the Quebecois nation, the heroine who can steer its people toward their collective destiny, declaring a PQ government would publish a white paper on sovereignty before the end of its next electoral mandate.
