Has it been mostly co-opted by the right? How invested is Québec Solidaire in separation? And where does QS stand on issues like religious symbols and immigration?
Québec Solidaire voted almost unanimously against Loi 21, so they don't support bans on religious symbols. As for immigration, they want to prioritize francophone immigration but not reduce it or anything.
Québec Nationalism is now mostly coopted by the right, except among younger people where nationalism is overwhelmingly left-wing.
All in all, bbased QS.
Oh and as for religious symbols, they have been gojng down a similar road to France. Headscarves are banned in public buildings I believe.
Headscarves are not banned in public buildings. Headscarves are banned for public workers in public facing positions that have been hired after the passing of Law 21.
Unlike France also, all left-wing parties oppose thus.
Thanks for clarification.
For reference I am from Ontario and I by no means think Quebec is more racist than ontario.
If there were some kind of Anglo seperatist movement it would just be beyond atrocious.
From what I can tell, and take this with a grain of salt because I am an Anglo, it's pretty much a white nationalist movement.
I don't think it's a WN movement writ large. Amongst older people it is, but among younger people and Montréal independentists it's very often left-wing.
I'm genernalizing for sure. I mean the main stream politics.
Definitely not not an uncritical support situation.
Certainly, not uncritical support. But there is still a left-wing separatist movement that is anti-racist especially among Québec Solidaire.
