What an election Canada had on May 2nd,
2011. We saw two political parties crumble before our very eyes; the
re-instatement of our Conservative government with a majority and the
decimation of the, often referred as "sovereign political party" in the Bloc Quebecois".
Based on the 2011 Federal Elections of Canada, the majority of Québec voters
have rejected ideals of sovereignty by the Bloc Quebecois in favor of more
cohesive participation in federal politics. What is also being called a "political
earthquake" by many all across Canada is the sweeping power of the NDP (New
Democratic Party) almost entirely replacing the Bloc Quebecois and what is
being held as the "death of the Sovereign movement in Québec". These changes
are nationally important to see in detail because these political shifts state
the intentions of the voting public.
