Sovereigntist

But even as the sovereigntist leadership focuses on a projected increase in immigration numbers outside the province to shore up its case in Quebec, it has cause for concern on the home front.

But it has fought restrictions on COVID-19 and taken sovereigntist positions: having an Alberta police force and a provincial pension plan, along with more privatization and less bureaucratic control in health care and education.

During the electoral campaign a poll showed that only 19 percent of Québécois between the ages of 18-25 considered themselves sovereigntist.

Having lost both referendums, the sovereigntist Parti Québécois government renewed the push for recognition as a nation through symbolic motions that gained the support of all parties in the National Assembly.

In Canada, federalism typically implies opposition to sovereigntist movements (most commonly Quebec separatism ).
