		Though he sometimes may get carried away with his notion of the Quebec nation, Landry's big dream for Quebec to be a player on the international scene has an undeniable appeal to the pride of Quebecers, whether or not they believe independence is the best way to boost Quebec's stature.

	Quebec Election Sidesteps Issue of Individual Liberty, by Pierre Lemieux (<I>Wall Street Journal</I> )
		As recent opinion polls show that only 40% to 45% of the Quebec electorate favor separation, the PQ support must have come not only from the separatists but also from voters simply dissatisfied with the Liberal Party's record.
		The ideological confusion shows in the fact that a well-known former radical trade unionist, Yvon Charbonneau, was elected under the Liberal banner, while the former seemingly free-market president of the Quebec Manufacturers' Association, Richard LeHir, won election as a PQ candidate.
		Moreover, Quebecers may not be the most politically correct and obedient people in North America.
