PQ touts Quebec’s ‘decanadianization,’ citing new poll’s findings

While there is some validity to increased mutual indifference between Quebec and the rest of Canada, exacerbated by a government overwhelmingly based in English Canada and with policies less attuned to Quebec public opinion, the examples of specific policies cited – opposition to the Quebec values charter, insistence on a toll to pay for a new bridge in Montreal – are less convincing.

The proposed charter has considerable opposition within Quebec, and a toll bridge to replace one that is at risk of falling apart, hardly make a strong case for “decanadianization”. The Canadian constitution is relatively decentralized with most public services being delivered by the provinces,  including education, thus strengthening regional identities.
