If Chantal Hebert is correct in her analysis, then there are even more reasons to support the Parti Quebecois in the upcoming Quebec national election then what there usually are. Not only will a PQ victory prevent the right wing Parti Liberal from forming government in Quebec City, it also increases the likelihood of the Bloc looking to defeat to the federal Tories, or at least decreases the likelihood they will support them. Conversely, a Parti Liberal victory in Quebec means that in addition to four more years of neo-liberal rule and there not being a referendum, it also means that the Bloc will be less willing to rally its troops for a federal election anytime soon.
It looks like a vote for the PQ will not only hurt right-wing federalists in Quebec City, it will also hurt them in Ottawa. Two evil birds with one sovereignist stone...a vote for the PQ hasn't looked this good a long time.
