Poll shows Quebecers in favor of immigration control, but opposed to referendum on the issue

A recent survey conducted in Quebec has revealed some interesting and somewhat contradictory findings regarding the province’s potential independence. According to the Léger Marketing poll, two-thirds of Quebecers would vote Yes in a referendum on the province assuming full power over jurisdiction. However, despite this strong support for independence, most respondents do not want such a vote to be held.

The survey also shed light on the current political landscape in Quebec, with the Coalition Avenir Québec (CAQ) trailing behind the Parti Québécois by 10 points but still holding onto second place in voter popularity. The provincial Liberals and Québec solidaire are trailing behind the CAQ by nine and ten points, respectively.

In addition to political preferences, the survey also addressed questions of identity and language in Quebec. When asked about the future of the French language in the province, respondents had differing opinions depending on whether Quebec remained within Canada or separated from it.

The survey also touched on recent controversial remarks made by Parti Québécois Leader Paul St. Pierre Plamondon, suggesting that Canada was trying to harm Quebec. The responses to this question were divided, with 49% of respondents saying no, 33% saying yes, and 19% refusing to answer.

Overall, the survey provides valuable insights into the opinions and attitudes of Quebecers on issues of jurisdiction, identity, and language. The results highlight the complexity and nuances of the province’s political landscape and the diverse perspectives of its residents.
