Home > Bloc Québécois

The Bloc Québécois is a federal political party in Canada that is primarily devoted to promoting sovereignty for the province of Quebec. It also holds the goals of "defending the interests of all Quebecers in Ottawa", and more broadly those of social democracy. Members and supporters of the BQ are sometimes called Bloquistes [blɑˈkist], a word formed on analogy to Péquiste (a Parti Québécois supporter).

Janua saw yet another similar plea in L'Action Nationale to counter the federalism of Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau. One year after the October Crisis, a desire for peace in the streets and a desire to express frustration through democratic means was visible in the magazine: "The time has come to play hard; and it is necessary that it happens at the parliamentary stage to avoid other forms of violence."

Although far from the Bloc's social democratic personality, the Ralliement des créditistes was another rural Quebec-only federal party worth noting. Social credit ideology was based on the ideas of the British engineer, Major C.H. Douglas.

The Union Populaire was a minor party that tried to build on the success of the Parti Québécois at the provincial level by nominating candidates in the 1979 and 1980 federal elections on a sovereigntist platform. The PQ, however, had rejected particpation in federal elections and provided no support to the party, which achieved little success.

The Parti nationaliste du Québec was founded in the 1980s as an alternative to federalist parties and can be seen as a modest predecessor.

Finally, the Rhinoceros Party, founded in 1968 by Doctor Jacques Ferron, renowned Quebec writer, collected a lot of votes from people disapproving federal and federalist politicians. Jacques Ferron, the poet Gaston Miron , and the singer Michel Rivard even challenged the seat of federalist Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau.
