Liberal leader Dominique Anglade accused Prime Minister François Legault of promoting “division policy” on matters of immigration and language policies as he presented a new candidate Monday in Montreal.
Ms Anglade said the Prime Minister invented false crises by affirming that the fate of Quebec could be similar to that of Louisiana, where the French were marginalized, if the province did not restore all immigration power.
” We are faced with many crises in Quebec, very important ones, be it inflation, climate change, housing. François Legault wanted to start a fight in Ottawa in places that were not true. “
The issue of language rights was raised several times at a press conference where Ms. Anglade is his new candidate in Notre-Dame-de-Grâce, a Montreal ride in a large English-speaking community.
The Liberal Party of Quebec is in a difficult position while the party is at the lowest of the Francophones ’voting intentions. At the same time, two parties dedicated to defending the language rights of Anglophones, the Parti canadien du Québec and the Mouvement Québec, were launched for the next election campaign.
Asked on the subject, Ms. Anglade he is convinced that it is still possible to find a political option that can rally both francophones and anglophones in Quebec.
” François Legault is trying to divide us for a better occupation. If we look at Quebeckers, in general, as a whole, we all want to be in favor of the promotion and protection of the French language. “
Defending the language rights of Anglophones was one of the issues that prompted Désirée McGraw, a professional from the philanthropic community, to enter politics. He replaces former Liberal Minister of Justice Kathleen Weil, who represented the Notre-Dame-de-Grâce ride for 14 years in the National Assembly.
Ms. believes. McGraw that most Anglophones like French flourishing in Quebec, but judged that the measures taken by the Legault government to protect the Molière language were not included.
He attacked Law 96 on French protection and Law 21 on secularism. Some modalities have no place in an independent and democratic societycriticized the candidate.
