Anglo group starts new Quebec party
An anglo group is on the verge of launching a new provincial party, the Parti canadien du Québec. This one really may be Equality Party 2.0 – leader Colin Standish is almost a Robert Libman lookalike.
In other anglo news, a protest against Bill 96 is planned for mid‑May by anglos.

I suppose the Bloc is something of a Parti québécois du Canada, so there is some nice symmetry here 😉

I guess someone has to organize a protest and it’s going to be an anglo group, but the people I really feel for in Bill 96 are ambitious, non-elite young francophones who are being held back from becoming part of the outside world. It’s really sad that there’s no internationalist party in Quebec, or anyone with the confidence to say that bilingualism is a strength.

More split votes in the west island between the PLQ and this new party = more chances of seats for the CAQ.
This is good news for them as they are currently making grounds in Laval, Lachine and other more anglo-places.
