PQ (Parti Québécois)

The Parti Québécois (PQ) is a political party in Quebec, Canada, primarily advocating for Quebec's independence from Canada and the promotion of Quebec nationalism. Founded in 1968, the PQ seeks to protect and promote the French language and culture within the province. It has led Quebec’s government several times, focusing on issues like social justice, environmental protection, and sovereignty. The party's vision includes a Quebec that is a distinct, self-governing entity, yet it also engages in the politics of the province within the broader Canadian federation.
