It's very close to the election so I decided to look at the CAQ's platform to see if they're as crazy as the left claims and it turns out that they're quite protectionist on trade and nationalist on social issues(specially religious and culture based ones). They also have some left wing ideas such as gender parity in cabinet and electoral reform to MMPR. So here's a list of some of the CAQ's most interesting policies
- Reduce immigration by 20%
- Have 50% women in cabinet
- Create legislation for electoral reform from FPTP to mixed member proprtional representation
- Religious signs will be prohibited for all persons in position of authority, including teachers
- Create $50 million fund to promote and leverage private investment in agriculture
- Schools, hospitals and residential centres and other government organizations will be required to buy food from local products
- Defend supply management
- Consumption of marijuana in all public spaces will be prohibited and the legal consumption age will be raised to 21 years old
- All immigrants coming to Quebec will be required to learn to speak French
- Seniors in residential centres will be required to take 2 baths a week and meal budgets will double
- Junior kindergarten for 4-year olds will be universal and free (but not mandatory)
- School elections and school boards will the eliminated and will be replaced with school service centres
- All elementary schools will hold a minimum of 2 20-minute recess periods per day
- $10 billion will be set aside for the Quebec Infrastructure program to achieve decongestion plan by 2030
