Bloc Montréal Leader Balarama Holness spoke with CBC Montreal anchor Debra Arbec about his new provincial party and why representation for the province's largest city is important in the National Assembly.
Bloc Montréal Leader Balarama Holness says the provincial government isn't doing enough when it comes to Montreal. That's why he's proposing the city get more autonomy and control over its own destiny.
Quebec’s Bill 21 and Bill 96 “disproportionately” impact Montrealers, and the city ought to have a party represent it in the provincial legislature. That’s according to Bloc Montreal leader Balarama Holness who, one year after his attempt to be Montreal’s mayor, has set his sights on Quebec City.
Perhaps it is quixotic in this age of identity politics to expect one party to appeal to a reasonably representative cross-section of the voting public.
