QUEBEC CITY – The Bloc Québécois platform, unveiled Saturday, brings back the word “independence.” It’s only used once, but the spirit is clear.
The Bloc’s 35 pages of proposals are “made out of love for our nation, but also out of duty” to “build the Quebec of tomorrow: an independent Quebec,” it reads.
Yet, today’s Quebec seems to be looking somewhere else to park its vote, and Bloc Québécois leader Yves-François Blanchet senses it. He hears it on the ground: Quebecers are overwhelmingly leaning toward the Liberals. Some are looking to vote Conservative.
