		Voters in Quebec will go to the polls on April 14 with not one but two separatist parties on the ballot, but the rest of the country is assured by the national media that separatism isn't an issue in this election campaign.
		Quebec Premier Bernard Landry can confirm that the PQ's central issue remains divorce from Canada, he can muse about Quebec being a sovereign nation by 2005, and he's not seen to be stoking the fires of separation.
		This election is likely Charest's last opportunity to make an impact as a political leader, and it could, in fact, be make or break time for his party.

		In Quebec, the longest-serving government of modern times was that of the Union Nationale which, under Maurice Duplessis and two short-lived successors, ruled the province from 1944 to 1960.
		While it is certainly true that virtually all Quebecers who want a sovereign Quebec vote PQ, a sizable number vote for the party despite the independence hook, simply because they like its social democratic platform, or just can't stand the other parties or their leaders.
		Who knows, the worst case scenario for the PQ may be that it emerges from the April 14 election still in a position to challenge the next government one or two elections down the road.

	CNN.com - Liberals take lead in Quebec campaign - Apr. 6, 2003
		The Quebec Liberal Party under Jean Charest is widening its lead in the provincial election race, the latest polls say, but it still may not be enough to unseat the Parti Quebecois and its separatist agenda.
		Entering the final stages of the campaign for the April 14 vote, Charest, 44, was buoyed by his performance in last Monday's leaders debate and by surveys showing him ahead of Premier Bernard Landry, 66, and the Parti Quebecois.
		Charest, who was leader of Canada's federal Conservative Party before jumping into Quebec's political scene in the spring of 1998, has been hammering all week that a vote for the Action Democratique is a vote for the Parti Quebecois.

		In Quebec, the Election Act requires that a member of a political party who wishes to run as a candidate must be endorsed by the party's leader and that he/she obtain the endorsement of 100 electors who are registered on the Permanent List of Electors in the riding where the candidate wishes to run.
		During election periods, a political party is authorized to spend 61 cents per elector in all of the ridings where it fields candidates.
		On this basis, Quebec had a veto and it was understood that the rights of the French minority outside of Quebec would be protected because otherwise the rights of the English minority in Quebec would be jeopardized, and vice versa.

		"Quebecers have given us their confidence … we will live up to it," Charest told a cheering audience of supporters at his headquarters in Sherbrooke during his victory speech.
		While this strategy of looking to the future had life at the start of the election campaign, it was overtaken by the sovereignty issue during the televised leaders' debate—a past that exploded the PQ plan.
		The election victory means the 44-year-old Liberal leader will have to make good on his promise to fix the province's health-care system, his party's top priority throughout the election campaign.

		Americans will be interested in what impact the election has on Canada’s commitment to North American security, the war on terror, and energy security, not to mention its impact on trade between the two countries, which is the largest bi-national trading relationship in the world.
		For instance, before the election the prime minister threatened to retaliate against U.S. softwood lumber duties by slapping export duties on Alberta oil and gas, which would increase U.S. reliance on Saudi and Venezuelan oil, and increase pressure to drill for oil and gas in environmentally sensitive Alaskan wild lands.
		Expectations are high (or low, depending on how one looks at it) that the current election will be characterized by the same dirty campaigning seen in the June 2004 election.

		Landry already has plans for a Quebec constitution and had a recent PQ gathering embrace the notion of a "confederal union" with Canada.
