Quebec politics

Quebec politics is characterized by a unique blend of provincial and national identities, primarily due to its French-speaking majority. Key parties include the Parti Québécois, which promotes Quebec sovereignty, and the Liberals, who typically favor federalism. Political issues often revolve around language rights, cultural preservation, and economic development. The province has a strong focus on social welfare and environmental policies. Recent decades have seen a rise in nationalist sentiments, leading to ongoing debates about Quebec's place within Canada and its potential for independence, affecting both provincial policy and federal relations.
