It should be noted that that ADQ is not a federalist party; it's actually nationalist. Not as "Rah rah vive le separatisme!" as the PQ, but still pretty nationalist in the sense that one of their platforms is that Quebec become the Autonomous State of Québec. (Not to mention conservative--look! ally for harper DDD:!)

I'm still quite annoyed that Harper butt his nose in and I know he did it on purpose. In Québec, any politician seen getting too cozy with the PM is almost effectively shunned by the voters. Most of the seats the PLQ lost were the ADQ's gains. And most of the PQ's loss were the ADQ's gains.

Funny. Hm. A probably combination of 'Yar, we're annoyed with the PQ" and 'Woah, Charest is getting too close with the PM/Charest didn't keep much of his promises' ultimately may have caused this maybe
