Does the Parti Québécois never learn? Now, with only nine elected members sitting in the National Assembly – which puts it in fourth place – the PQ attempts to regain credibility by issuing Wednesday (Sept. 4) a thundering "Déclaration de principes."
The statement was formulated by the PQ’s executive committee and is to be debated at a special relaunching party convention to be held on Nov. 9 and 10. Trouble is, the statement begins with a lie in its very first sentence: "Le Québec est une nation francophone ancrée en Amérique."
Quebec is not, in law and in fact, a nation. It is a territorial province created for the first time by the Constitution Act of 1867. Quebec contains in its territory at least 10 aboriginal nations which were recognized as such by previous Quebec governments. Quebec’s territory also contains a substantial part of the Canadian nation.
