Quebec had some of the harshest covid restrictions of the entire world, under the CAQ leadership. Certainly nowhere near as bad as Australia, but they were planning on building covid gulags, just like them. The only reason they refrained was because of the trucker convoy in Ottawa, and the discussions of doing the same thing to the parliament in Quebec City. People voted for the CAQ in order to have more Right-leaning leadership, to have fewer taxes and overall to be left alone, and François Legault went and fucked over all of his people with tyrannical and nonsensical rules based on the flimsiest of evidence. Just like with Trudeau, I'm also flabbergasted that he managed to win an election after his horrible mismanagement of the "pandemic".
The covid years have proven that expecting the majority of people to exert the most basic of logical scrutiny over media and government claims, was already asking for far too much. My faith in humanity had never been lower, but at least Trump's election is helping to improve it a bit.
TL;DR political opinions and perspectives on French media in Quebec.
A ''comfortable majority'' supported the government's lockdowns here, similar to how the New-Zealand electorate did.
It was quite distressing. But it was as bad, or worse in many provinces of Canada. Saskatchewan was the least offensively retarded, with the provincial Prime Minister even half-apologizing for the passports when scrapping them first in Canada.
Here no apology, only doubling-down and claiming the lockdowns and masks ''worked'' ( neither did ).
Trudeau was worse than Legault. Except Trudeau broke quarantine laws on top of draconian mesures.
However to give you an idea of the difference between ''when asked about it'' vs ''what people do'', something like 70% of people in polls said they would still wear masks the week before the mandate was lifted. The day the mandate ended mask wearing fell to under 20%.
And thank God now I can go days without seeing one.
I have low understanding why many people who voted CAQ want to go back to the Parti Quebecois. The corruption in the CAQ started quickly after they got elected ( blatantly incestuous friendships with ''Trudeau-level'' ethics codes violations between economic ministers and companies that benefit from their policies ). Yet people voted for them again in large majority.
Lockdowns didn't seem to bother most people ( those who were bothered voted Conservative Party of Quebec and didn't win one seat ). Corruption seemed to bother people very little for 2 mandates while it was a growing problem. So why the drop.
I can only assume it's because people who witnessed the CAQ being totally powerless to pressure Trudeau into securing the border want to add the threat of independance to pressure further. ( I want independance, but most Quebecois rather suck Federal transfer money and complain. Embarassing. )
There is a strong shift in young political opinions who don't seem concerned with ''traditional Quebec politics''. They support the Conservative Party of Quebec more, they are less Trump Deranged.
I blame the lack of right-wing based French language large media in Quebe. Older people strongly prefer to watch French language media ( no matter their language skills in English ).
Youger people are partly assimilated, and what they cannot get in French, they get in English. Which is right-wing independant content. French language news already covers whatever left-wing globalist content they might be interested to watch, sometimes with a thin veneer of French identity on it, often straight-up Globhomo brain rot.
You can guess the reaction from the leftist media. ( ''The DANGERS of ONLINE FAR RIGHT RADICALIZATION''). So copy-pasted CNN opinions.
Oh and BTW the ''right-wing'' parties of Quebec are 100% on board with the power-grab scam of Global Warming fear porn ( like they enthousiastically took part in the power grab of CoviD lockdowns based on fear-porn ).
