Welcome to what I call the Devosphere. A web log dedicated to my musings. Expect to see politics, technology, reviews and everything in-between on this site. I am not a newspaper; however I will never post something as fact unless I am assured it is true. If something I say is incorrect mention it to me. I am tolerant of everyone’s opinions, so voice them in your comments. If you want me to get back to you about your comment then please include your email address and I will try to reply.
The Quebec election has come to a close. I have no clue what that means for me, since I have not been following politics and especially
Liberal Party – 48
Action Democratique – 41
Parti Quebecois – 36
That is a very drastic change from the last election (2003):
Liberal Party – 76
Parti Quebecois – 45
Action Democratique – 4
But in general,
Parti Quebecois – 76
Liberal Party – 48
Action Democratique – 1
It is good to see

This will not effect you. The percentages do not mean that people care less for the PQ, as the voter turnout was relatively low, and it's anyone's guess where the low-turnout demographic usually puts their votes.
Although, to me, it is pretty obvious that people stopped caring for the PQ as much when Harper gave so much money to Quebec. The PQ now have less to campaign with (but they will retain many separatist zealots), and now the fiscally conservative (and less separatist compared to the PQ) ADQ's and the socially liberal Liberals will find themselves vying for popular support, though given the history of Quebec (there's a reason why there's no provincial Conservative party there), I would have guessed the Liberals would win if the PQ were to fall behind (that's one part where I would have to live in Quebec to guess, as that's political-culturally based).
People really hate the Liberals here. That is why they only got a minority. Their leader almost didn't get elected, but after a recount he still got in (how we love recounts). As for the ADQ's being "fiscally conservative", I can't say I have specific fact to counter that. However, the impression I got from my French buddies is that they are kind of like the Quebec NDP.
