  Quebec Federalist Ideology Encyclopedia Article @ 216.92.11.26 ()   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
In Quebec, federalists, in regard to the future of the Quebec people, defend the concept of Quebec remaining within Canada, as opposed to Quebec sovereigntists, proponents of Quebec independence (most often, but not for all followers, along with an economic union with Canada similar to the European Union).
Federalist nationalists defend the concept of Quebec remaining within Canada, while pursuing greater autonomy and national recognition for Quebec within the Canadian federation.
Notable Trudeau federalists are Pierre Trudeau, from whom the term is inspired, Jean Chrétien and Stéphane Dion.

 All about Quebec
Quebec is Canada's oldest Province and was originally settled by the French, who we remember were the first European settlers to arrive on the continent.
Unfortunately, Quebec was colonized during the dying days of the French monarchy and as a result early Quebec society was shaped according to that regime's values and ideals.
Many think the threat of Quebec separation is largely exaggerated, or a mere political scam on the part of Quebec to constantly remain the primary focus of the Federal Government.

 Quebec’s PQ worn out by power, by Christophe Wargny
And the fact that Quebecers - of the anti-sovereignist persuasion, to be sure - are over-represented in the federal government further confuses the picture.
For many PQ activists, the idea of the state as a vehicle for both economic development and social solidarity is the foundation of sovereignist aspirations; hence the growing rift with the PQ leadership.
Seventy-three per cent of Quebecers, and an even higher percentage of young Quebecers, felt that there should be "a left-wing political party dedicated to the needs of workers and the underprivileged" (5).

The fear that Quebec would not be able to survive and prosper independently was the most likely reason for the defeat of the first referendum on independence in 1980.

Quebec, up to this point, has never been a mature post-Enlightenment culture, and generally remained mired in feudalism much longer than the rest of North America.
Quebec had power before, but it was the kind of power that Samuel L. Jackson had in The Negotiator.
This requires a significant portion of Quebec's population to share the same goal, but with the Bloc Quebecois significantly weakened by the tripling of Conservative popular support, they will need to tag along in order to remain relevant.

 Religion in American Political Thought: An American Ideology
If my definition of ideology does not require that, it also need not entail some pejorative understanding of ideology, such as used by those who think of their own belief system as "science" or "philosophy," while rival systems of belief are wholly "id eology," with connotations of not only dogmatic closure but obvious falseness.
That negative connotation of "ideology" as a set of what are largely "illusions" or distorted beliefs caused by the bias of class economic interest was advanced by Karl Marx a nd Frederick Engels, especially in their book, The German Ideology (written 1845-6, not published until 1932).
If they applied the term "ideology" to the main ideas of classical liberalism, by an irony of history, some modern liberals have shifted the referent of the term such that it does not at all apply to ideas of the liberal tradition but primarily to Communist or fascist thought.

It is especially important to remember that what makes the Tiger Movement a veritable political religion for its participants and supporters is that it is considered a vehicle for the attainment not simply of national freedom, but also of social liberation.
It is a fact that whenever and wherever such movements have succeeded in capturing the state power they all crave, both the 'majority' they claim to speak for, and the (always indispensable!) 'minority' they stereotype and vilify as the 'other', have ended up paying a terrible price.
As for Quebec, the unexpected revival of support for the independence option that took place there in 1990-91, and which was taken by some to indicate that federalism merely whets the closet secessionist's insatiable appetite, must also be seen in its proper context.

 Federalism (Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy)
Madison and Hamilton urged centralized powers of defense and interstate commerce (Federalist 11, 23), and argued for the need to solve coordination and assurance problems of partial compliance, through two new means: Centralized enforcement and direct applicability of central decisions to individuals(Federalist 16, also noted by Tocqueville 1945).
Indeed, the Federalists regarded federal arrangements as an important safeguard against “the equal division of property” (Federalist 10).

The Quebec swing, alone, accounted for most of the difference between the two parties, but not to be underestimated was the fact that it made the Conservatives more credible in the rest of Canada - being shut out of the second largest province always made them look like a party that wasn’t truly national.

I have been horrified at the approving bandying about of phrases like "anarcho capitalist." I am assured by friends at the CATO institute that I am not alone in my belieft that libertarians are NOT the same thing as anarchists — or at least, they shouldn't be.
Libertarians throughout North America know that, for all their imperfections, our societies are democracies, and they grant libertarians the freedom to argue the libertarian case on its merits.
