Was it policy, or taking a stance on "religious symbols"? I feel it's more the latter, but I can't remember much about that election.
In 2011 Quebec voted almost unanimously for the NDP, convinced for once that they were on the same page as the ROC. It had nothing to do with religion, it was all about policy. Somehow after that the NDP thought it would be a good idea to replace Layton with a Liberal from Quebec that no one liked and move the party to the right.
After the 2015 election, Mulcair said:
As the rest of the mea culpa states, the NDP made lots of mistakes. The niqab footgun was the easiest to see because of the immediate and angy reaction, but the others clearly hurt as well.
Mulcair can say that if he wants, but I guarantee you the move to the economic right while insisting on idopol is what sank them. At the exact same time the most popular politician in Quebec was Amir Khadir, an Iranian, running for Quebec Solidaire.
