Well, the title says it all.
My first years of rule as Governor-General would be full of purges of politicians who caused problems for us, purging the elements which encourage degrading and immoral behaviour because it's damaging the moral standard of the population, screw over the EU and the IMF, team up with Russia and China. Then the era of peace starts. I would limit my appearances, delegate executive powers on a county level and keep the media free, as long what is said is true. I would also lower taxes and raise salaries to their level in 2008 work on strenghtening our currency and resurrect our industry. Education and living standard would be top priority. I would nationalise major companies and others would be free or partly owned by the state. Also tax the church and the rich, especially those who can't prove the origin of their wealth. Bust down tax evaders and encourage exports and implement mercantilist policies.

Here's a response I made on another post that just about covers it.
Abolish the Federal Reserve and instate an actually government run agency in it's place.
Reinstate the gold-backed dollar and rid ourselves of the Petrodollar .
Terminate all of our funding to other countries who are unable/unwilling to pay back with interest.
Slash our military budget along with our involvement overseas and return to our isolationist tradition of foreign policy.
Take out Common Core teaching standards and let states decide on what should be taught.
Legalize cannabis for medical uses and allow states to decide on if they wish it to be legalize for recreational purposes.
Begin a crackdown on those who abuse the welfare system.
Privatize Social Security.
Encourage private companies to invest more in space exploration and colonization.
Encourage private companies to invest in renewable energy sources.
Cut down on oil consumption from Middle-Eastern nations.
A massive investigation among our current politicians for corruption.
End the NSA and all forms of government surveillance.
Encourage colleges to lower tuition fines to make secondary education more affordable in order to allow more skilled workers into the industry.
Encourage schools to teach more into STEM fields for children.

Louisiana and Mississippi are now the African American Autonomous Region, a self-ruling country in its own right. relocate all African Americans here, give them $50 billion, and enjoy no more discrimination ever (hey a guy can dream, right?)

nationalize all banks into a single state owned entity, the American National Bank. no gold standard because I hear it's dumb. Hire Vlerchan to set monetary policy, because staring at charts with Greek letters for more than a minute makes me nauseous
eliminate Social Security and replace it with a minimum basic income for native-born Whites and the indigenous peoples
eliminate Medicare and replace it with a National Health Service, free at the point of use for native-born Whites and indigenous peoples
eliminate employer-based health insurance (see above)
raise the minimum wage. this would be in tiers by age: for workers aged 12 - 17, $9.00/hr, for those 18 to 20, $12.00/hr, and those 21 and over, $18.00/hr. the wage rate would be frequently adjusted for inflation.
lower the minimum legal working age to 12.
Americans-first hiring policy - if an employer has to choose between two equally skilled persons, one American and the other not, he has to pick the American.

restrict marriage to two persons, biological men and women.
set up the office of the Tribune of the Plebeians (yes that's what I'd call it). this person or triumvirate would make regular inquiries into public opinion & hold referendums.

Hmm... I would do the following, from a Romanian point of view:Take a more eurorealistic approach (that is, not being the EU's yes man)
Adoption of the euro should be subject to a referendum
A Dutch-like civic integration test for all immigrants, including refugees.
A points system for all skilled immigrants, provided the civic integration test is taken beforehand
Negotiate an opt-out from implementing the Schengen agreement
Tax the church, no ifs, no buts.
Keep the 16% flat tax
The proposed reunification with the Republic of Moldova should be subject to a referendum in both countries, and both campaigns (in favour/against) should be funded equally and given equal importance in debates, without any bias in favour of either campaign.
The Szekely autonomy should be up to a referendum in the concerned area, and it should have a consociational basis (as in Northern Ireland)
Give full fiscal autonomy to all regions
Have a neutral policy on same-sex marriage and adoption, and hold a referendum on it, provided 100,000 people sign a citizen's initiative. In the meantime, offer same-sex couples the opportunity to have a legal status through unregistered partnership, with joint adoption banned.
Decriminalise drugs, fully legalise soft ones and introduce mandatory medical treatment for addicts, with no legal effects.
Offer people convicted in corruption cases conditional amnesty (provided they have paid the whole losses plus damages whose value is estimated by the judge. Should they be convicted of corruption again, their sentence will be doubled.)
Legalise and tax prostitution, and raise sentences for sex offenders.
Offer inmates convicted of non-violent crimes the opportunity to pay their way out of prison, through community service, house arrest or paying an amount of money.
Eliminate any sort of benefit (except child benefit, whose recipient is the parent on behalf of the child), for persons refusing a job.

In no particular order.
Introduce rule-based fiscal policy, preferably in-line with the considerations of NewKeynesian DSGE models.
Within this, include measures towards mandatory stimulus during economic booms.
Incentive market socialism, reduce tax and regulatory burden on worker's co-operatives and credit unions, within this eliminate all labour regulations.
Introduce basic minimum income, in tandem with negative income taxation.
Eliminate the minimum wage.
More free trade, generally, with China and ASEAN, in particular.
Incentivise investment in Nanotechnology, Life-extension technologies, Green energy.
Invest in space travel and related activities, combine efforts with US as required.
Invest in high-speed pan-European rail.
De-nationalise European state-owned firms.
De-nationalise European armed-forces, though emphasise defensive priorities.

Zero tolerance for gender-related crap
End "pointless" college courses that aren't actually doing anything good like Gender/Race Studies, etc.
Incentives to follow STEM field
Also, try to form a one-world government. Main focus is the maximization of happiness and productivity. Money is entirely dumped on education, technology, space industry, etc.

Tripartite Education similar to the United Kingdom.
Students not progressing towards third-level education must serve at least 12 months in the armed-forces.
Students must start learning a foreign language from age four. I'm considering having children form a base in Esperanto.
Students must participate in PPE from age eleven.
Non-Euro immigrants processed on the basis of skills requirements - at least until economic development flattens out across Europe.
Immigrants must serve at least 12 months in the armed forces before becoming naturalised.
Prison should be de-emphasised [for all non-violent crimes] and asset-consistant fining and community service should be preferred.
Prisoner privileges should be based around educational attainment - with opportunities for development within prison.

Despite our best efforts, none of us is incorruptible. Having the power to decide what media is and isn't 'true' is a recipe for abuse. Once you start to believe your own lies, and doublethink sets in, which it does for everyone, eventually, then the state is out of control of a rational mind. Centralization of power can be very dangerous...
But nonetheless, that is another discussion for another day.
As for the original question, as a bit of fun:
-I would enforce greater teaching of sexuality and psychology in our schools, as the lack of education on the subjects is harmful to our youth.
-I would decriminalize every currently prohibited drug, and ban media spreading the taboo around narcotics.
-Encourage free speech and honesty to one's feelings.
-Reduce arms spending to a minimum, and become a negotiator state, akin to Germany.
-Have much greater safechecks and control to prevent abuse by intelligence agencies, and to prevent mass-spying of the citizens.
-I would make it illegal to redefine words and spread it about. Fucking SJWs and their redefining of the words racism and sexism. "Systematic oppression, blah, blah, blah..." That is not what they mean, we have different terms for those things.
-Encourage questioning of what has been established, through the education system, with a separate stufy of conservatism to balance "progression".
-Make a really big sensory shower in my palace with a bunch of cool mood lights and shit.
-Increase spending on psychology, science, and education.

They kind of do man. I understand that you should be free to make your own choices on what you put into your body, but trying to say that they are not deadly and/or destroy lives is factually incorrect. While yes, they do have positive aspects to them if use in small doses periodically, they are extremely harmful to the body as soon as one becomes a frequent and heavy user which is common to happen seeing as they are extremely easy to become addicted to.

The Russians would help us, without the invasion. The fact that you said the EU is a confederacy means the member states must have same external relations with everyone. For example, Hungary faced heavy backlash when they wished to have natural gas supplied directky to them from the Russians. They acted on their best interests. Besides, I would prefer to be a Balkan parter to Russia than EU's personal bitch and indebted slave. Also you talked about helping member nations, you didn't help Croatia with their recent fires even though they pleaded, but the Russians offered but were refused. Also Russia helped us a lot during heavy flooding last year. Also the EU is nit for the interests of all member states, it's more for interests of France and Germany, so fuck 'em.

I'm fine for the EU to form a full-scale federation so irreconcilable differences might lie at this point. Though regardless it shouldn't be an issue when it comes to just signing free trade agreements with the EU.
For example, Hungary faced heavy backlash when they wished to have natural gas supplied directky to them from the Russians.
Because it undermines European geopolitical interests. It would have faced this had it just been allied with the EU. I also don't think it's in it's interests to have done this - but that's irrelevant to the debate.
Also you talked about helping member nations, you didn't help Croatia with their recent fires even though they pleaded[.]
The EU commits to combatting national disasters that surpass national capacities. It's funded work against forest fires before in the Balkins.
Also Russia helped us a lot during heavy flooding last year.
Since its launch in 2001, the EU Civil Protection Mechanism has monitored over 300 disasters and has received more than 200 requests for assistance. It intervened in some of the most devastating disasters the world has faced, including the floods in Serbia and Bosnia and Herzegovina (2014), the Ebola outbreak in West Africa (2014), the conflict in Ukraine (2014) and the earthquake in Nepal (2015).

1. Yeah because we were the de facto most populous republic of Yugoslavia and the union's workhorse and we had a lot of power in the union.
2. Yes, but I find my interests best fullfilled with cooperation with Russia than the EU. They wouldn't force us to apologize for massacres during the nineties while the other three sides do not do the same. Also theee could be a lot of money to be made by allowing Russians to establish bases here. They already have a battalion stationed here as a natural disaster assistance. Besides, Russia along with China put a veto on the Srebrenica resolution which was pushed for by the USA and the UK, an EU member. That tells me the EU top dogs don't respect countries willing to join, so I will follow our old saying, "who's crazy, don't be his friend".
3. Yeah but aren't the member states supposed to be free in decision making?
4. But what about the fires in Croatia? They are on their own.
5. Because we are a country with little to no production or exports, our markets will be flooded with cheaper goods from the rest of the EU. I might be willing to join if we had something to flood the EU markets with. Also the EU prohibits mercantilist or protectionist policies. Also the stance on immigration, some countries can't financially handle them.

The Croatian separatists were armed with East German Kalashnikov model rifles which were pulled out of usage after the unification of Germany. Before you start accusing other countries, look at the countries you are defending first. Both France and Germany invaded without valid casus bellis, sure the Russians did too, but it's a tad bit hypocritical to accuse them without looking what you did too. The Russians stuck up for us when it mattered, Germany and France... not so much, maybe not even at all. Also you are lobbying for the Donbass rebels not getting independence but when the Kosovo separatists revolted, you even fought alongside them. Also about the poor remark, we would be even poorer in the EU because most of our domestic goods would get flushed out of our market because of free trade, which in turn would cause economic problems. Cooperation with Russia would only increase our revenues from exporting to them. Also the rape remarks were aimed towards economuc relations with smaller countries where their governments are methaphorically raped by German debt.

Also, about the Austria and Hungary thing, they are building large walls on their borders to stop immigrants and refugees from crossing illegaly. And when refugees enter the EU, the country that pays for them is the first EU country they enter, since most of them are going through the Balkans, their first stop is Hungary.

Oh lmao. Sorry I didn't see it. Your ideas are sort of like mine except I would emphasize on the state's stronger grip on the economy, since it would be the state that will revitalize most industries. Also strive towards making a healthy society, no decadent or immoral behaviour allowed in public places.
Yes, and I also forgot to mention the adoption of a full Eugenics program. Forced euthanasia of all those who are physically and/or mentally incapacitated to the point where they can't work and require major medical support; gene modification to create healthy humans without physical abhorrences. At first, if the population was very "muh feelings" and "muh human rights", we'd let the couples keep their monstrosities with a catch: they cover the medical expenses by 100%. No citizen would pay to support their unfit children. There would also be incentives to abort their children if they had major defects (promotions, free appointments for 1 year, etc. things like that). Down the line, we'd have the most pure civilization of all time. And then off we go to colonize Mars and the Moon.
But I agree 100% with your "no decadent or immoral behaviour allowed in public places" policy. Openness about sex and things that should be private has gone way too far, these days. I'm not saying every woman should wear a burka, but at least some decency. We'd also have to make major reforms in the media for them to stop glorifying things like homossexuality and transgenderism, as they are ultimately destroying our society in the long run.
Jean Poutine
July 31st, 2015, 05:08 PM
Prime Minister Jean Poutine of Quebec would :
Put forward yet another sovereignty referendum proposal to the people in the first months of his election.
Let's assume that is successful. What would my independent Quebec look like?
Economic and foreign policy :
No economic deal with Canada. Full sovereignty over the St. Lawrence waterway and imposition of commercial transit fees for all shipping passing through our territory, on land or sea, whether destined for the Maritimes or Europe outbound or Toronto inbound.
Quebec will take on its part of the federal debt, not at a per capita ratio, but at a per asset ratio. This will insure the debt we get is healthy infrastructure debt that serves us instead of forever paying for Western infrastructure and greatly lessen the amount we need to shoulder.
No partition of sovereign Quebec territory.
As per international law, Quebec will not be an automatic signatory to any treaty binding Canada. Quebec shall not rejoin any economic free trade area such as NAFTA.
Creation and use of own currency on the greenback model. Creation of a fully public central bank issuing public fiat money. Fractional reserve banking and possibly usury (as in any interest, not just unfair rates) are outlawed. In the latter case, replacement by a flat loan fee.
Full nationalization of the banking system. All banking profits go directly in the State's coffers. Certain fees removed, as it is ludicrous a citizen should have to pay a third party to access his own money.
Full nationalization of resource extraction industries (especially in northern Quebec). Increased mining output.
Heavy "food tax" on unhealthy food products such as fast food. Funds raised by this tax will subsidize locally produced organic foodstuff, especially fruits and vegetables. The goal is to make it more expensive to eat shit food than to eat well.
Heavy inheritance taxes to break up dynastic holds on certain industries.
Promotion of local competition to international conglomerates : foreign-based corporations will incur additional taxes, even if a branch is registered as a Quebec company.
In the retail sector, particularly heavy subsidies and incentives to local "mom and pop" shops over big box retail.
Increased spending in general infrastructure. Government contracts awarded on the basis of a cost/quality analysis instead of always taking the cheapest option. Massive increase in Hydro-Québec funding to fully develop hydroelectricity potential, with the goal of becoming a renewable energy superpower.
Gradual implementation of agricultural workfare for those able to work to replace the loss of Mexican labour due to the non-adherence to NAFTA and other policies, along with other measures of workfare. To be phased out as spending in infrastructure increases and creates jobs.
The above supplemented by a BUI scheme (enough for rent, nutritious food and the very basics of life) to replace all other forms of social transfer payments (child payments, old age security, etc).
Most fines to be "progressive", raising with the person's income, especially for economic, "white collar" crimes.
Progressive reduction in sales and income tax as the country stabilizes.
Public investment (ie. by public banks) encouraged to invest in industry. Return to Quebec of lucrative, skilled factory jobs. Private investors provided with incentives to invest in industry.
Investments by public banks shall be made in Quebec or in companies based in Quebec only.
Land on the territory may be owned solely by Quebec citizens. Leasing is available for foreigners.
The entirety of Quebec's foreign policy will consist of screwing with Israel, for no other reason than it is absolutely hilarious and would make for memorable headlines.
More seriously, Quebec will be strictly non-aligned. Generally protectionist trading policy, always favouring local entrepreneurs over foreigners. Hefty tariffs for non-essential imported products.
No international aid payments will be made.
The right of the country to declare war will be constitutionally limited. Quebecers are not aggressors!
Justice :
Return of hard labour sentences, especially for white collar crime. Hard labour sentences will respect every standard of human decency and prisoners will be compensated (albeit at lower than minimum wage rates).
Prohibition of abortion, except in cases of rape, incest or possible danger to the mother's health. The money saved on publicly-funded abortion will be used to subsidize contraception methods.
Legalization (and taxation) of cannabis. Amount bought per day may not be over a certain level. Prohibition of tobacco.
Prohibition of circumcision and FGM, even for religious reasons.
Full prohibition of prostitution, for clients as well as providers. Pimping shall be prosecuted especially harshly as pimping will be considered a form of slavery.
Physical castration for particularly disgusting sexual offences, for example repeated, grave or numerous child sexual abuse, is available as a sentence to the courts.
Jail sentences shall focus on rehabilitation if the court recognizes this potential. The possibility of rehabilitation will be presumed unless proven otherwise. Jail shall consist mostly of education and training resources in addition to restrictions on personal freedom. Upon successful completion of a training course in jail, a person's criminal history shall be hidden to private background checks to allow him/her access to the job market, as long as the criminal history is composed of only one crime that is not too serious.
Criminals deemed absolutely impossible to rehabilitate can be sentenced to hard labour for life without pay or life in jail. Special cells for these inmates will offer only the bare humane minimum, comparable to max security prisons.
If they turn out to be impossible to control even when imprisoned (extremely disruptive behaviour in labour camps, for example, murdering another inmate or a guard or repeatedly sabotaging the workplace), they can be executed. This is the only instance where capital punishment is legal, and it will be doled out only if 100% absolutely convincing proof is offered (for example, being filmed doing it) during a fair and public trial. If there is even 1% doubt, capital punishment is unavailable. Due to these special circumstances, appealing is not possible and the sentence is carried out as swiftly as possible. The firing squad will be the method of execution, at close range and aiming for the head to make sure death is instantaneous.
Criminals convicted of crimes against the public good (grievous financial fraud, tax evasion, electoral fraud, bribing officials, whether offering or receiving) lose the right to present themselves for office forever. Additionally, they lose the right to vote for a period of time suitable to the crime committed. Electoral fraud or the bribery of public officials, whether it is offered or accepted, remove the right to vote from perpetrators entirely and depending on the gravity of the offence, may carry long hard labour sentences. Public officials caught accepting bribes are sacked and they lose the right to any public pension, no exceptions.
Lobbying is illegal : private interest groups will go through the same channels as ordinary citizens for access to elected representatives. Lobbyists are considered white collar criminals and prosecuted accordingly.
Tax evasion is considered theft against the entire nation and will be prosecuted extremely harshly.
Equalization of the sentencing gap : women shall receive equal sentences to men for the same crime. Currently, women are heavily favoured by judges and nearly always get a lighter sentence than a man for the same crime.
False complaints to the police, including but not limited to rape or spousal abuse, will be prosecuted to the full extent of the law. Note, however, that a false complaint must be demonstrated to have been made knowingly and with malice aforethought, the same standard as today.
Same-sex parents may no longer adopt children, but they may still marry. All other acquired rights and protections unchanged.
No specific transsexual rights recognized. Sex change operations will no longer be publicly funded (and may become illegal). No accommodations, for example in public facilities, on the base of identified gender. Gender dysphoria reclassified as a mental illness and treated as such - therefore, protection against discrimination will still apply via the blanket protection for handicapped people.
Restriction of no-fault State divorce : cases will be adjudicated on a case by case basis, but not as strictly as before.
Equal and joint custody to be set as the default norm in the adjudication of valid divorce cases with children unless a parent is clearly unable or unwilling to have custody.
Child support payments set as a % of income and capped to a maximum amount sufficient for the needs of the child(ren). They are only awarded if equal and joint custody is not ordered.
Prospective fathers may opt out of paying child support, but give up any and all parental rights to the child(ren) in return.
Prenuptial agreements are now set in stone and are the law setting the conditions for divorce. They may not be overturned by the judge as long as they are reasonable : "reasonable" in this case shall receive a generous interpretation.
Removal of juries. All cases to be adjudicated by a judge or a panel of judges only.
Gradual rewriting of laws and regulations in order to purge them of Legalese and make them understandable to every citizen.
Simplified procedure. Procedural vices, unless grievous, intentional or numerous, will no longer be sufficient to award cases by default. Reductions in court and filing fees.
Encouragement of pro se representation. With the law rewritten and the procedure simplified, any citizen should be able to represent himself before the courts.
Removal of quasi-judicial powers from certain executive agencies - streamlining of administrative courts.
Return of local justice : municipal courts will play a bigger role in the justice system. Small villages may nominate justices of the peace for simple cases if they are qualified.
In civil cases, the court will try to scale damage awards with a litigant's income as much as possible. The more they earn, the more they pay, keeping in mind the nature and facts of the case.
Damages that can be received by a complainant shall be capped to a certain amount. This is to avoid unjust enrichment that could occur for relative trifles caused by lucrative corporations. Damages past a certain amount are given to charity.
Society, immigration and education :
Conscription and compulsory reserves in effect for everyone aged 18-45. Conscripts will not serve overseas. Conscription term will be 1.5 years. Conscientious and religious objectors will be able to serve in a civil infrastructure corps instead, building and maintaining roads, offering support to the population in the case of natural disasters, etc. During conscription, physical standards must be achieved.
Encouragement of the traditional nuclear family : children, one man at work, one woman at home. Glorification of the role of the housewife. Stay-at-home wives will be able to benefit from a lessened amount of BUI as an incentive and married, stable and cohabiting couples will receive very significant financial incentives if they have children. Other programs to make women with children leave the workplace. As more women stay at home, minimum and market wages will increase accordingly. Note that women with no children may still work as before.
Incentives for single parent homes to put any children up for adoption. Note that a child in joint custody is not considered to be from a single parent household, even if custody is not equal. Single parents may no longer adopt children : no exceptions.
Ethnic nationalism and solidarity encouraged at all levels of society.
As recognition of their importance in Quebec history and as the first inhabitants, First Nations will be recognized and respected. All ancestral rights recognized by Canada will be recognized by Quebec, except direct payments : such sums will be invested in services and infrastructure instead. In addition, they will be consulted when the government intends to build infrastructure on their territory, and if a profitable industry such as hydroelectricity or natural resources is built on their lands, they will receive a fair share of the profits to be reinvested in their territory. Particular efforts will be made to preserve their language and culture for prosperity. The learning of their ancestral language in school will be encouraged, and it will be possible for White Quebecers to take classes in the most widely spoken native languages as foreign language credit as a form of respect. Schools and training centers will be provided to allow them to attain economic freedom and Native entrepreneurship will be encouraged. Particular focus will be put in education on the mixed origins of a vast majority of Franco-Quebecers, whose ancestors married the Natives instead of willfully slaughtering them : the age-old English slur of Quebecers being impure white mongrels will be elevated as a national identity instead. Natives will be encouraged to contribute to the greater life of the country as historic brothers, but also to keep and cherish their ancestral identity if they so wish : a privilege that shall be granted to no other minority.
Abolition of the Ministry for Women. It shall be replaced with a Ministry for Harmony, responsible for all gender-related matters, male or female, including, for example, male suicide and homelessness, prostitution and sexual harassment in the workplace.
Health care is a national right and the universal health care scheme will continue. In addition, creation of Pharma-Québec to regulate the country's buying of drugs and engage in R&D. Locally developed drugs will be bought over foreign multinational conglomerates' versions. Generics will always be bought over name brands unless none exist.
Obese people who must receive health care services for a condition based solely on their excess weight, if not in turn caused by a legitimate condition, may be liable to refund part of the cost to the government.
Incentives for people to engage in physical conditioning : discounted government gyms or subsidized gyms in the workplace, as well as subsidies on physical activities.
Quebec's vast hydroelectric potential will be emphasized in public life. Electric cars will become the norm over combustion engines by way of generous financial incentives.
Anglo-Quebecers shall receive services only where the number justifies the expense (the standard in Anglo-Canadian provinces concerning Franco-Canadians). There is no reason for a single digit minority to receive a third of the education funding as today. The excess of education funding will go to French institutions. However, where justified, services must be provided as a constitutional imperative.
Abolition of every "positive discrimination" scheme, even if by a private corporation, by gender or race. Applicants will receive jobs solely based on their skillset. Limited exceptions for Natives only will be allowed, but only as long as their economic emancipation is not complete and only in areas with large Native populations such as the north.
Vastly reduced annual quotas for immigrants (90%+). Skills are vastly increased in importance in the selection. Western university education put above Third World university education : recognition that the two are not equal. Immediate degree equivalence recognized for Western university graduates after a test administered by a professional order. French language ability will be a very significant factor in selection : obligatory French classes for immigrants not meeting the standard. Racial and religious discrimination in the selection of immigrants legal to favour White immigration.
Quebec will not allow refugees from any country : anyone claiming asylum will be swiftly deported, except in extremely rare circumstances.
Citizenship test administered to immigrants focusing on Quebec history and the French language.
Employment discrimination legal against non-citizens and non-French speakers.
Complete ostentatious religious neutrality in public life : the wearing of any religious identifier in public institutions is forbidden.
Tolerance of hassidim fuckery in Montreal and Boisbriand and fundamentalist Islamic fuckery in Montreal will cease. There will be no more religious schools and any found illegally operating will be shut down and the users and providers heavily fined. Incentives will be provided to all these merry people to leave for wherever, as long as they leave.
Incentives offered to dual citizens, first generation immigrants of non-White extraction to return to their birth country, especially if non-French speaking.
Automatic deportation of immigrants found guilty of a crime of sufficient gravity.
As written above, education funding for Anglo and Franco-Quebecers will be made proportional to their relative population.
Return to old methods of pedagogy. French, history, maths and science will become the cornerstones of the education system. The relative difficulty of these classes will increase : 6th graders will be made familiar with classical French authors such as Molière, Voltaire, Racine, Corneille, Baudelaire, etc. Particular focus on reading skills. Grading will become much harsher. Science and history classes will be available at all grades starting from grade 2. Students who have failed a year will be held back (they are currently not, how crazy is that?)
Heavy encouragement of gifted students : classes tailored to their intelligence level will always be provided with generous funding. Financial incentives may be offered to successful students by way of small stipends. Equality in mediocrity will cease.
Private schools will no longer be funded by the government as they are currently. In fact, private schools may become illegal to attract talent into governmental gifted programs.
Healthy academic competition fostered among students. Promotion of diligent and hard work over natural abilities.
Encouragement of home schooling following the public curriculum.
Abolition of the current "religious study" classes which teach students the basics of all religions. Will be replaced by a civic life class focusing on national pride, responsibilities and involvement in public life.
Introduction of basic law classes in high school so that all citizens know their rights.
McGill shall be Francophone.
Education will be fully free from the cradle to the grave for citizens. Students above a certain GPA will receive funds. Parents will be encouraged to financially support their children during their education : in school, studying should always trump working.
Inverse quotas : programs like Women's Studies will be heavily limited in their capacity to admit students, while the quotas on programs like STEM fields or Law will be relaxed.
Strengthened academic freedom : faculties found to discriminate against research for purely political reasons will have their funding stripped.
Foreigners may attend Quebec universities, but will have to pay full tuition. Foreigners who complete a degree at a Quebec university, intend to live permanently in Quebec and meet all requirements for immigration will be fast-tracked preferentially through the process and will have their tuition reimbursed as a way of attracting new blood. Citizens who leave Quebec after completing a degree will have to reimburse tuition to the government as a lost investment.
