Coops in Québec


Some of you might have already heared about the "Québec model" of development. For us, Québécois, this is too often taken for granted. Sadly, it is now under attack by the current right-wing government. Nevertheless, this short article can be a very good introduction on the cooperative movement in Québec.

The article talks about the importance of both networking between coops and government support.

It appears to me that Quebec is probably the thickest territory for a social economy outside of Israel and Emilia-Romagna.

And it seems that the solidaristic organisations in Quebec have much the same type of nation-building role that Israel's Histadrut played in the formation of the State of Israel, both before and after independence.
