1) The PQ is a provincial party, BQ is federal.
2) Different parties. The PC Party was dissolved in 2003 when the newly merged Conservative Party was created.
3) No formal affiliation, but they are a conservative party.
I hate to ask the stupid question, but why not just be the Conservative Party?
And do the PQ and BQ basically have the same views, just one's provincial and one's federal?
1. Actually the Saskatchewan is made up of both federal Conservatives AND Liberals. It's anti-NDP party but that also makes it conservative by default.
2. Exactly.
