I’m fairly ok with the « conclusions » of this « analysis », even if I agree with Lisée it’s an important reminder that he advocates for a wall at the Roxham Road and some Trumpist idea about how to handle migrants there which he said as a panelist for Radio-Canada in a high viewership tv spot. He kept his place despite a massive complains against him.

He [Lisée]also stressed that Quebec's sovereigntist parties have historically been social-democrat,[..]

This is also factually not true anymore. PSPP advocates conservative policies against Trans people and migrants, he promise Police Fraternities more money and cut into the social net. He hinted privatizing some health programs to relieve wait time and expand the two speeds healthcare Quebec system. The only time I’ve seen him advocate ecological law was to explain that the Independence will help us draft our own ecological laws which he never explained what they will be if we achieve independence. And let’s not start about how they treat First Nations Councils.

Great point. But the Québequois don't generally consider themselves "French". They are Québequois. Yes there are Putinesque bigots, as well as "pure-laine" purists, but they are minorities. Mostly its about preserving their culture while surrounded by an ocean of anglo-derived culture.
