	Parti libéral du Québec - Free net encyclopedia
		The Parti libéral du Québec (Liberal Party of Quebec, although it refers to itself in English as the Québec Liberal Party), or PLQ, is a liberal political party in the Canadian province of Quebec.
		This mirrored the situation in Ottawa, where the arrival of Wilfrid Laurier in the 1896 federal election marked the beginning of Liberal dominance at the federal level.
		Since the election of April 14, 2003, the Liberals have formed the current government of Québec under Premier Jean Charest.

		Political blogging has become a force to be reckoned with in the modern election campaign, with supporters from different camps racing to analyze events or fact-check statements on the campaign trails.
		Generally, if Canada’s governing party cannot earn the support of a majority of MPs on a major budget vote, a vote to accept the speech from the throne or a major piece of legislation, the vote is treated as a confidence motion.
		Elections Canada defines a third party as "a person or group, other than a candidate, registered party or electoral district association of a registered party," and requires that they be registered if they spend $500 or more in election advertising expenses.

	Welcome to Quebec, Canada

	The Language Laws of Quebec - Readings - Quebec History
		Not only did the bill not implement the linguistic policy that most Quebecers seemed to have wished, but, in reality, its substance was to guarantee to all in Quebec the right to choose the language of instruction for their children.
		The effect of such a clause was to accelerate the rate of integration of the rapidly increasing population of allophones to the anglophone group and, thus, to potentially threaten the position of dominance of French in Quebec, especially in the context of the rapidly diminishing birth rate of francophones in the province.
		The passing of Bill 63 was instrumental in the defeat of the Union Nationale government at the polls in 1970 and in the demise of that party from the political landscape of Quebec.

		The object of the communication is to vindicate their right to vote in the Quebec provincial general elections held on 13 April 1981 and to ensure that prisoners can exercise their right to vote in any elections which may be held in the future, whether federal or provincial.
		The Director General of Elections of Quebec therefore contacted the Solicitor General's Office suggesting the conclusion of an administrative agreement concerning the voting of inmates of federal penitentiaries in the province of Quebec.
		They submit that, after the elections, in the state of the law as it was before the adoption of section 3 of the Constitution Act of 1982, an action for a declaratory judgement did not constitute an effective and sufficient domestic remedy ensuring respect for their right to vote.

		The last MNAs elected under the label "Union Nationale" were elected during the 1976 general election, with Rodrigue Biron as leader, boosted by the protest vote of the english-speaking Quebecers against the "Loi 22" voted by the Liberal government in 1974.
		The Union Nationale disappeared on June 19, 1989, due to its insolvency, as permitted by the Quebec Election Act.

		The Fathers of Confederation anticipated that the conquered nations of Quebec and the Native Peoples (Indian, Métis and Inuit) would be constrained and ultimately assimilated in the case of the former, and in the case of the latter, driven to the outer edges of the community and destroyed as an effective force.
		While Quebec's course towards national sovereignty is proving ever more clearly, in the words of Lévesque, to be irreversible, and thus the question of what is to become of anglophone Canada is ever more on the order of the day, the central focus of Ottawa's pan- Canadian campaign remains Quebec.
		But it is Quebec and its struggle for national sovereignty that constitutes the most immediate and chief threat to the federalist strait-jacket, and the most powerful of the forces that can lead to the restructuring of this country to meet the needs of its working people in 1977-on.

	Bloc Quebecois: The Road of Sovereignty
		In the general election of November 15, 1976, the Parti Québécois won a majority of seats in the National Assembly, thus forming the new govern-ment of Québec with René Lévesque as premier.
		The repeated failures to renew Canadian federalism leave Quebecers only two true options: the status quo, i.e., Canada just the way it is, with all its insensitivity to their legitimate and historical aspirations, or the way of the future, the road to sovereignty.
		Quebecers will soon be called upon to make a crucial decision on whether to go ahead with plans for sovereignty.

	Attention Wal-Mart Workers, Quebec Union Wins (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		ABI management is threatening to bring in scabs, despite a Quebec law that supposedly prevents the use of “replacement workers.” Simultaneously, some 400 iron ore workers in Sept-Îles on the north coast of the St. Lawrence River are striking since the beginning of August.
		Quebec’s rate of union representation far exceeds anywhere else in North America (42 percent of all workers, compared to 13 percent in the U.S.).
		But a real general strike is not a big parade but a showdown with the bourgeoisie, a knock-down, drag-out battle to decide “who is master in the house,” on the order of the tumultuous 1972 Quebec general strike in which Sept-Îles was taken over by the workers.

	C. F. et al. v.Canada, Communication No. 113/1981, 25 July 1983 (nineteenth session), 12
		In a letter dated 4 March 198 1, the Solicitor General of Canada informed the Director General of Elections of Quebec, his decision not to conclude, for the time being, such an administrative agreement which would permit detainees in federal penitentiaries to vote in general provincial elections.
		They submit that, after the elections ' in the state of the law as it was before the adoption of section 3 of the Constitution Act of 1982, an action for a declaratory judgement did not constitute an effective and sufficient domestic remedy ensuring respect for their right to vote.
		Similarly, in the present case, although it is too late to provide the authors of the communication with the opportunity to vote in the 1981 Quebec election, a declaration that the Solicitor General had acted illegally would certainly give him practical guidance as to the course he should take in regard to future Quebec elections.

	Lessons of the 1972 Quebec General Strike (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		The general strike came on the heels of the “Quiet Revolution” of the 1960s, which saw French-speaking Quebec transformed from a church-dominated backwater to a modern, self-conscious and largely secular society.
		In Quebec, workers were increasingly driven into the arms of their own francophone capitalists, leading to the election, with significant labour support, of the bourgeois-nationalist Parti Québécois four years later.
		But the ideas of the nationalist Quebec labour tops, for all their manifestos on “socialism,” led not to the “dictatorship of the proletariat” but to the rule of the nationalist union-busting PQ, who were swept to victory in 1976 and again in 1981 with a significant labour vote.

		As for by-elections; with over 90% of votes last election cast for Labour movement candidates of some form (either Independent Labour or official Labour) and all other parties losing their deposits, this shouldn't be hard to predict.
		He'd hardly turned up to vote in the Commons since his election; he turned up for a few of the controversial bills and all that, but that was about it (he also sent a lot of written questions to ministers).
		As at his election he'd indicated that he intended to be an active M.P, it was quite obvious that he was ill.
