Boulerice to move to Québec solidaire
Alexandre Boulerice, MP for the central Montreal riding of Rosemont—La Petite-Patrie, and sole remaining NDP MP in Quebec, has announced he’s switching to provincial politics and joining Québec solidaire. QS had to make an exception to their rule about only women or nonbinary persons being accepted as candidates in ridings they currently hold. He’ll be running in Gouin, which more or less overlaps his federal riding, currently held by Gabriel Nadeau‑Dubois, who announced last year that he wouldn’t be running again.

Thus confirming that stuff is but woke virtue signaling.

What does that even mean, Chris?

If the NDP does not retain the seat there will be no NDP MP east of Winnipeg.

I’d ask about all the Montreal conservative ridings but there are none.

@Kate Equity rules have been dispensed with simply because they have a star candidate. There has been much discussion about this within QS and QS-adjacent circles.

Also the sole remaining NDP MP east of Manitoba, which will be the second time this has happened since the NDP’s founding, after 1993-1997.
What Chris means is that the party has firmly held principles that they stand by until it’s inconvenient.

Is it? He says “woke” a lot when talking about anything left of Nixon.
