QUEBEC — The Parti Québécois has become an aging, disconnected social club with a mentality that’s stuck in the past, a new report suggests. Produced by former party leadership candidate Paul St-Pierre Plamondon, who spent months consulting the party’s small “under 40” crowd, the report paints a gloomy picture of the languishing party. Among the findings: Nearly all the youth Plamondon met had just about no interest whatsoever in the debate over religious symbols. The party should also give itself the power to ban members who behave like trolls on social media. “I think it will help us a lot.”Lisée, nevertheless, said the report shows the PQ has more youth than other parties.
