All the commentators, for some time, have been trying to find out what is going on in François Legault’s head.
Is he a sovereignist who advances masked?
Or a nationalist federalist who believes that we can get new powers from Ottawa?
If Bills 96 and 21 hit the wall in Canadian courts, what will he do? No one really knows.
Everyone guesses, guesses, guesses.
WHAT IS A CAQUISTE?
I’m suggesting a third option, just to make the “Guess what’s going through the PM’s head” game even more interesting.
What if François Legault’s nationalism was just another marketing stunt?
What if our PM was brandishing the nationalist cause just because he knows it’s getting tough?
What does it speak to Quebecers?
And that allows him to stay ahead in the polls?
A few days ago, I asked my colleague from QUB radio Philippe-Vincent Foisy what a caquist was, according to him.
“Are you a federalist? Come to the CAQ! Are you a sovereigntist? Come to the CAQ! Are you for law 21? Come to the CAQ! Are you against Law 21? Come to the CAQ! Are you for the third link? Come to the CAQ! Are you against the third link? Come to the CAQ!
Coudonc, what is the CAQ? »
Philippe-Vincent’s answer: “It’s power, that’s all”.
In short, anything to stay in power.
Want tax cuts? OK, we’ll give it to you!
Do you want a law that protects French without going too far? OK, we’ll give it to you!
To paraphrase the Rolling Stones, we are not giving Quebecers what they need.
We give them what they want.
After ordering a survey.
WITH CAQ SAUCE
In the option that I propose, François Legault would be neither sovereigntist nor federalist, but opportunist.
Nationalism with caquiste sauce would be another patent for kids that flashes – such as seniors’ homes, the Blue Basket, four-year-old kindergartens and Lab-School schools.
You want a nationalism light, which gives you the impression of being a little more master at home without risking anything?
Vote CAQ!
We are neither sovereignists nor federalists, quite the contrary!
We are like tofu: we are neutral.
You put broccoli next to a piece of tofu? The piece of tofu will taste like broccoli!
You put the same piece next to a mango? It will taste like mango!
The CAQ is an abstract painting, you see what you want to see.
When you look at the painting from the front, it is red.
But when you look at it from the side, it’s blue.
There’s something for everyone at the CAQ!
We pass the guitar in the program of the other parties!
Justin Trudeau says Canada is a “post-nationalist” country?
The CAQ is a “post-ideological” party!
WITHOUT PLAN
That said, it’s just a theory, huh.
I don’t know what’s going on in François Legault’s head any more than you do.
Maybe he’s improvising.
Without a plan. Neither destination.
