National Populism Victorious In Quebec Election

10/04/2022

As anticipated, François Legault won Quebec's elections with an overwhelming majority. Radio-Canada (the French division of the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation) announced not only that the Coalition Avenir Québec (CAQ) would form the next government, but also that François Legault would count on a majority of Members of the Provincial Parliament in Quebec's National Assembly. In several ridings, the CAQ scored more than 60%, something extremely rare especially in a context where five parties were trying to be elected. The only good news in store is the very recent idea voiced by Legault when he realized that the Parti Québécois was increasing in the polls: organizing a referendum on the immigration question. Thus, the question that Legault plans to ask is not if we want to reverse the trend, but who should be in charge of the Great Replacement in Quebec. In Montreal, the battle was hard fought between the Liberal Party and Québec Solidaire, and both tried to appeal to linguistic, religious and ethnic minorities. It is this concentration of votes within the very multicultural metropolis that explains how the Liberals secured about 19 seats. Their leader, Dominique Anglade, tried to de-ghettoize her party, but with her frequent talks on systemic racism and other conspiracies, she managed to win no seats outside the ridings where French Canadians are a minority.
