A few days ago the CAQ released their budget for Quebec and I think it raises some big questions about the CAQ's economic and social policy. First of all the budget screws over the island of Montreal, instead focusing purely on the off-island suburbs by allocating almost nothing for public transit on the island and tax cuts and policies that disproportionately does very little for a lot of the population on the island but has a big impact on the families off-island. Along with where the CAQ is spending money on education, my theory is they want to encourage the Francophone population to have more children. Also Anglophones get nothing but school closures.

Then the really big question, Quebec has a labour shortage and productivity issues but the CAQ seems to have no plan to deal with it. They do not want immigrants but they also do not want to train Quebeckers either, offering very little for post-secondary education. What is the CAQ trying to do? They are not even trying to solve the underlying issues of the Quebec economy, they seem to be far more focused on encouraging the Francophone population to produce children. But even then what is the point of you do not solve the fundamental economic problems in Quebec first?

Be incredibly French it would seem.

Ignoring systemic economic problems in favour of handouts along with increasing anti-immigrant sentiment, that does sound very French.

C'est le vieux idee, "La Revanche des berceaux", parfois appelée "Le guerre des berceaux". It's the old idea of "the revenge by the cradles" sometimes called, "The war of the cradles". Good, white, "pure laine" Québécois babies will Make Quebec Great Again. That coupled with the crony capitalism and entrenched interests of "Quebec Corp." and once again nothing substantive gets done to improve Western Quebec's moribund economy. Montreal is dying while tribal technocrats cheer on its demise from Quebec City.

It's so damned depressing.

Cheers?

There is a great opportunity right now to fundamentally change the Quebec economy for the better but it looks like the CAQ are going to let that pass by. Too bad suburbanites decided that tax cuts today are better than their children's future.
