    Party Vowing to Curb Immigration Favored to Win Quebec Election

    @Beevee, @Commonsense

    You folks might need to pay more attention to your politics at home


    A changing of the guard appears to be on the horizon in Quebec.With less than three weeks to go before the Oct. 1 election, an upstart alliance that’s pledging to reduce immigration is favored to oust the Liberal Party that’s governed the French-speaking Canadian province for all but two of the past 15 years.


    Coalition Avenir Quebec, the eight-year-old party led by former airline executive and education minister Francois Legault, is leading in the polls -- though recent surveys show it may lack the support required to win a majority.



    The CAQ, which is also pledging to make government more efficient, has the support of 35 percent of voters compared to 29 percent for Philippe
    Couillard’s Liberals, according to weighted polling averages compiled by the Canadian Broadcasting Corp. Ominously for the incumbent premier, 62 percent of voters surveyed by polling company Leger this month said they were dissatisfied with Couillard’s government.



    In power since April 2014, the Liberals are playing up their track record of running budget surpluses and helping to lower the unemployment rate to four-decade lows amid continued economic expansion. For many Quebeckers, however, the Couillard administration has become synonymous with corruption allegations and cutbacks in education, healthcare and other government services.


    Fiscal Policy

    Couillard and his finance minister, Carlos Leitao, are pledging balanced budgets for each of the next four years if reelected. While both the CAQ and the separatist Parti Quebecois agree on the necessity of balancing the books, they differ on how to reach that goal.



    For the CAQ, which would cut school taxes and return C$1.7 billion ($1.3 billion) to Quebeckers, a balanced budget must come with reduced bureaucracy and government waste. The separatists plan to step up the fight against tax evasion, boost taxes on financial institutions and roll back planned wage increases for doctors.




    Quebec Solidaire, a left-leaning party that also wants Quebec to become a separate country, is pledging to flight climate change and reduce social inequality in part by raising corporate taxes, mining royalties and taxing of the rich.

    The politics of fear are effective outside of the US as well. Mind you, it's not the centre piece of their platform. Not to mention the reduction proposed is 10k a year.

    Canada can do as it pleases. They don't really matter. It is fun to rag on them though.
    Liberals are a clear and present danger to our nation
    Pick your enemies carefully.

    Well, there you go. I voted for the CAQ as did a multitude of others. Not for the reasons you chose to mention but to oust Couillard who is a waster and probably a crook too.
    Quebecors obviously believe they need a different type of crook in charge.

    And fewer immigrants.
    Whoever criticizes capitalism, while approving immigration, whose working class is its first victim, had better shut up. Whoever criticizes immigration, while remaining silent about capitalism, should do the same.

    I'm an immigrant. I complied with every requirement to achieve that status legally.
    Incidentally, it's not fewer immigrants for Canada but a tighter control on those who wish to apply and will have to assimilate into Quebec.

    You don't count though. We know who they mean. Stay white, bro.

    Oh and it is fewer immigrants for Quebec. Clumsy sleight of hand.
