    On what planet is the BQ (bloq quebecois) a progressive party? NDP and green for sure.

    Bloc are literally a Quebec only nationalist/separatist. The cons are angry at them because they “stole” a bunch of their Quebec voters/seats. If that’s your target audience you aren’t on the progressive end of the spectrum.

      In the policies section of the page you link, there are a number of positions that are typically associated with “progressive” politics.

        And a broken clock is right twice a day. Just because a couple policies from a party are progressive doesn’t overwrite the fact that their founding tenants are hyper nationalistic (if you count Quebec as an independent nation).
