Whether she survives the vote to be the only remaining Quebec New Democrat from the 2011 orange wave depends on whether voters in a 99-per-cent white riding such as this can accept her leader, Jagmeet Singh, and his turban. The NDP is running a distant fourth in the province, threatening to wipe the last of Jack Layton’s Quebec legacy from the map. The NDP under Mr. Layton took 59 of 75 seats in 2011. Tom Mulcair gave up most of them in the 2015 campaign when the party won 16 seats.
Ms. Boulanger briefly summarizes the problem as she sees it, talking about a court ruling 13 years ago that allowed school children to wear “knives” in school . She mentions the work Quebeckers did to get religion out of schools in the Quiet Revolution, and then slips into her deep suspicion of Muslims. Someone explains that Mr. Singh is Sikh, not Muslim – a distinction Mr. Singh himself steadfastly refuses to do out of principle. “Anyway, I’m voting for her,” she says as she walks away.
While Ms. Brosseau speaks constantly about problem-solving constituency work, Mr. Perron’s perspective is more pan-Quebec: He vows to protect Quebec’s secularism law, to work to block any oil pipeline from the West, and to fight federal subsidies for Newfoundland hydroelectricity. The days after she won and first set foot in the riding were a swirl of handshakes and good wishes. Offers of help poured in, she recalls. “We had boxes and boxes of letters. They came from all political colours. It felt like a lot of people decided they were going to protect me, and see what I could do.”
