Meanwhile, in Québec Politics

The spokesperson of Québec Solidaire, a far-left separatist provincial party in Québec with one MNA and 11% support according to the latest Léger poll, proposes to "limit economic growth." The party also wants a $16/hour minimum wage. That's more than the average wage of all workers in "sales and service occupation" (as defined by Statistics Canada), which comprise more than 25% of all employees in Canada.

The NDP looks positively right-wing by comparison...
