The various responses to the inevitable decline here are as you say, greater power to Quebec (and the other provinces if they wish, I guess), so that decisions made in a framework where we are a smaller and smaller minority will affect us less. This is supposed to be the CAQ approach, which they only follow on occasion, and not too aggressively.

The PQ's approach is "let's get outta here before it's too late".

And the PLQ's approach, at least for the past 10-15 years, has been to bury their heads in the sand and, on occasion, to call people racist for pointing this out, even if it is reality.

Poilievre is making overtures about making immigration even stricter. He's been flailing looking for a new message and was talking this week about ending the era of open borders. I wonder if there is a pitch he can make in Quebec that reducing immigration in the rest of Canada is also good for Quebec. Back to with Conservatives Quebec prend des force.
