Abstract
ABSTRACT Political ideologies shape our societies, and those on the right in Canada remain understudied. As ideologies continue to evolve, we are left blind to greater distance or perhaps convergence between the right in Quebec and the rest of Canada. The COVID-19 pandemic is an excellent opportunity to compare the work of prominent intellectuals while they have uniform subject matter. As such, this research analyses the output of nine columnists from the National Post, Journal de Montréal, and Calgary Herald from March 13 to May 1, 2020. Our analysis focused on the depictions of political actors, and the themes of nationalism and globalization. There is convergence between the right in Quebec and the rest of Canada in the critiques of Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and anti-globalist positions. However, discussions of sovereignty endure in Quebec, built upon cultural protectionism. The right in English Canada largely supported Canadian nationalism and economic protectionism.
