It's an extension of Quebecois nationalism that has been the domain of the left (Québec solidaire and the pequistes) since the 1970s.

Quebec nationalism like Irish nationalism is a bit weird though, it is rooted in hyper conservative catholic nationalism that was then co opted as a cause by the left in the 60's and 70's, it isn't 'left wing' per say in fact nationalism is by definition not a left wing area, left wing philosophy in theory views the very concept of nationalism like religion as a sop to keep the working class quiet.
