The ideology of the
Parti Nationaliste Chrétien can be summarized as follows: Order and theocracy, then independence. The PNC published an
electoral program describing its ideology and its political positions on February 7, 1969. This manifesto mostly restates the ideas described in Leo Tremblay's first book published a few years prior. This program states that a PNc government would: • Confessionalize of schools and hospitals, • Fire the high-ranked technocratic public servant from the Quebec government, • Respect the principle of God-Family-Nation; "To unite
Christ and the
Nation", and • Acquire political independence for Quebec The main point of the PNC program is that
schools and
hospitals in Quebec should be run by the Quebec clergy again. At that time, they had only been
secularized at the beginning of that decade. The PNC saw this as a way to bring order back in Quebec society, which they considered to be controlled by "
atheist,
socialist and
secularist technocrats". The party also criticizes the Quebec clergy for having "abandoned its responsibilities", and favored the deconfessionalisation. After this reform, the PNC planned to proceed to the independence of Quebec, as leader Léo Tremblay was deeply nationalist. The PNC praises
Maurice Duplessis, and considers that the death of Duplessis was a disaster for the
Union Nationale and for Quebec. The PNC denounces "the old parties", the
Quebec Liberal Party and the
Union Nationale, for conducting a policy that "destroyed Quebecois traditions" and that "does not care about the people nor parliament." The PNC also denounces the
Quiet Revolution by asserting that it made the people slaves of its own servants, the technocrats. The party says that these technocrats are removing the
hierarchies and the real values of Quebecers and that its reform pushed the youth to despair,
drugs and
suicide.
Satanic propaganda orchestrated by the
state television and foreign publications push the
Quebec people to genocide. The NCP also laments the decline of the
birth rate in Quebec, and predicts that this will eventually make the Quebecers people extinct. Therefore, immediate steps must be taken to restore order, peace and security in Quebec, and reconcile
God with
his people. Léo Tremblay's first book contained long sections on the superiority of the French-Canadian "race" and the evils of the
Jewish community in Quebec. These ideas are not included in the 1969 manifesto, where the concept of "
race" is associated with the concept of the "
Fatherland". == Bibliography ==
