Parti Québécois

The Parti Québécois (PQ) is a political party in Quebec that advocates for the province’s independence from Canada, emphasizing Quebecois culture, language, and identity. Founded in 1968, it promotes policies supporting social democracy, progressive social values, and the preservation of French language and culture. The PQ has historically led efforts for referendums on sovereignty and seeks greater control over Quebec’s economy and laws. While it focuses on fostering Quebec’s distinct identity, it also addresses broader issues like social justice and environmental sustainability within the context of Quebec’s autonomy.
