Maple Leaf Forever after the first 100 days of power for Marois and the Péquistes

The first 100 days of power for Pauline Marois and the Parti Québécois in government seems to have left separatism in a bit of a bind, flipping and flopping through the current session of the assembly. Though it will likely stay in power for quite some time, it has lost much confidence in itself during these uncertain days of minority government in Québec, so much so that it can not even properly support its own legislation with the gusto, but still gumption of past Péquiste administrations. Charbonneau Commission into construction industry corruption, alleged stemming provincially from the Parti Libéral du Québec and its supportive municipal governments, allows Marois and the pro sovereignty PQ to move forward towards a cleaner and clearer mandate, depsite only getting past their recent budget, that controls spending aggressively and achieves the fiscal effect of a zero deficit situation, even cutting their plan to use public funds in support of secession from the nation state, by one vote.

But, while protecting the Canadian styled education, energy and health care provisions and services, which have become the standard norm, this separatist government, which still wants to strengthen their watered down language bill recently, has already tried removing the Canadian Maple Leaf flag from the Assemblée Nationale du Québec with a proposed bill that also was defeated.

Problem here is, two thirds of those Québécois who supported the separatist against the federalist option in the election this autumn, were polled online and also viewed it as an important source of personal or collective pride. If 66% eligible voters in Québec are in favour of an institutional symbol of nation unity of the Confederation, then why does the Parti Québécois wish to remain in the minority of Québécois opinion in their attempt to remove said flag and symbol from the National Assembly? I believe the call for independence remains low as Québécois know Canada is the future, the wiped out federal Bloc only become an option for protection of regional interest in Ottawa whenever given electoral support and thus the fall provincial election of the Parti was simply a cleaner and clearer replacement alternative of a dirtier governmental engine!
