Le Québécois Libre (or QL) was an online libertarian magazine, or webzine published in Quebec, Canada. The QL, owned and published by Martin Masse since February 1998,[1] portrayed a classical liberal point of view on numerous topics, particularly related to current affairs in Quebec, or, to a lesser extent, France and the United States.[third-party source needed]

The principal language of the magazine was French, but a quarter of the articles were written in English. Le Québécois Libre accommodated all liberal views including minarchism and anarcho-capitalism.[third-party source needed] Articles have been featured on National Post and C2C journals.[citation needed]

The name Le Québécois Libre is a pun on "Québec Libre", a nationalist slogan, as the magazine aimed to promote the freedom of those living in Quebec rather than the nationalist aim of promoting the state.[third-party source needed] It featured articles by Martin Masse, Ron Paul, Scott Reid and Pascal Salin, among others. In 2016 the magazine ceased publication.[2]
