Québec solidaire (QS) is a left-wing Quebec provincial political party founded in 2006. The party combines progressive positions on social justice, environment, and economic issues with support for Quebec sovereignty. QS advocates for wealth redistribution, aggressive climate action, LGBTQ+ rights, and Indigenous reconciliation. The party has grown from a marginal force to winning multiple seats in the National Assembly, particularly in Montreal. QS attracts younger, urban, progressive voters who support independence but find the Parti Québécois too centrist. The party operates with co-spokespersons rather than a traditional leader structure, reflecting its grassroots democratic approach.
