Leçons écologiques de la Colombie britannique
La critique ci-contre de la politique environnementale du gouvernement Libéral de la Colombie britannique comporte des leçons intéressantes d'un point de vue de gauche de sorte à éviter certains pièges :
1. Les taxes sur le carbone sont régressives et contre-productives
2. Les nouvelles dépenses du gouvernement Libéral de CB pour le transport en commun seront deux fois plus importantes que celles prévues par Québec solidaire et cela pour une province moins populeuse que le Québec
3. Les systèmes de transport en commun luxueux, genre TGV, ne sont pas écologiques
4. Les objectifs de réduction des GES sont certes indispensables -- Québec solidaire n'est même pas rendu là -- mais sont une leurre sans plan de réalisation
5. L'expension du réseau de transport, même maritime et du rail, pour des fins de développement du commerce international est anti-écologique
6. Certains groupes écologiques nord-américains et pan-canadiens parmi les plus connus sont anti-écologiques
7. D'un point de vue pan-canadien, la fin de l'exploitation des sables bitumineux et le reconversion des dépenses militaires sont cruciales
8. Le contrôle démocratique des sociétés de transport en commun est nécessaire

MONTRÉAL – Quebec’s new party of the left, Québec solidaire, held its first policy convention here on November 24-26. The 320 delegates — 48% of them women — debated, amended and adopted a draft platform for the next general election in Quebec, expected in 2007.
Québec solidaire has grown rapidly since its founding in February of this year. It now boasts 5,100 members in some 70 local associations organized on an electoral constituency basis, as well as student groups on the major college and university campuses. It is registering between 4% and 8% support in province-wide opinion polls, and in by-elections this year its candidates garnered up to 22% of the votes.

PQ's Rightward Shift Opens Space for New Left Party in Quebec
Editors Note: This article was first published in The Bullet, an on-line bulletin of the Ontario-based Socialist Project. The article looks ahead to the founding conference of a new left-wing and pro-independence party in Quebec, to be held in January, 2006. The conference is jointly organized by the Union des forces progressistes (Union of Progressive Forces) and Option citoyenne (Citizens' Choice). Together, these two parties number several thousand members.
The pro-sovereignty Parti Quebecois has governed the province of Quebec for 18 of the past 30 years. It is presently the main opposition party in the National Assembly; later this month its members will elect a new leader to replace former premier Bernard Landry.
