MONTREAL – A local man who will be unaffected by Francois Legault’s CAQ’s proposal to remove immigrants from Quebec for failing an arbitrary values test has called the provincial election “very boring.”
“I wish I had something to be outraged about,” said SAQ employee Paul Gaudreault who will not be forced out of the province in four years time. “No candidate from a major party has been caught using a racial slur against my race and was kept on the ballot either.
I don’t think I’ll even vote,” Gaudreault added with a shrug.
Journalists who were quick to condemn Conservative leadership candidate Kellie Leitch’s Canadian values test in 2017 declared the election campaign the dullest in recent memory.
“The electorate is just not motivated this year,” said one Radio-Canada journalist. “The Charter of Values was big last time, but the issues and policies that we’re not paying much attention to don’t have traction with viewers.”
A recent poll has shown that a full 95% of those not forced to choose between their religion and taking a public bus thanks to the Liberal government’s ban on religious face coverings felt apathetic towards voting.
