If Quebec Solidaire wants to have any chance in a riding like Laurier-Dorion, maybe its about time they dropped their support for sovereignty and just focused on being a leftwing party fighting for social justice. Lets face it - separatism in Quebec has become a very "passe" issue and is now morphed into a rightwing xenophobic cause that is wrapped up in islamophobia. QS's vestigial adherence to separatism is holding them back from becoming any kind of a real force in Quebec politics. The people who are still hard core dyed in the wool separatist (and they are dying out) are the people who will vote for Peladeau no matter what.
I'd support QS if not for their dumb sep stance.
I'm sure they'll be tripping all over themselves to completely change their ideology to win the key riding of Kansas.
