Success Quote by Pauline Marois

“Beautiful” and “audacious” is a politician’s two-step: soothe the audience with reassurance, then ask for permission to disrupt. Pauline Marois frames a government agenda as something aesthetically pleasing and morally uplifting, not merely technocratic. Beauty here is a shield; it implies coherence and inevitability, the sense that the plan’s parts fit together so well opposition becomes a kind of philistinism. Audacity supplies the adrenaline. It signals that the program will challenge entrenched interests or accepted limits, while also preemptively casting critics as timid.

The real work of the line happens in the pivot to “roll up our sleeves.” That idiom is a carefully chosen class marker: practical, workmanlike, collective. It lets an elite-led program borrow the credibility of hands-on labor and invites ordinary people to feel like co-owners rather than spectators. “I really want us all” is equally tactical. It widens responsibility so success looks shared and failure can be socialized. If the program falters, it’s not only leadership that didn’t deliver; the “all” didn’t commit.

Placed in Quebec’s political culture, the rhetoric also echoes a familiar nationalist cadence: big project, shared effort, a sense of destiny that needs participation. Marois is selling cohesion as much as policy. The subtext is clear: this agenda will be contested, so it must be wrapped in optimism, solidarity, and a gentle moral nudge that says, if you’re serious about the collective, you’ll help make it work.
