[edit] Political views

Caillé affirmed he voted Yes in the 1995 Quebec referendum on sovereignty, but stated he presently believes the ADQ's autonomist policy is more concurrent with the feelings of Quebecers. Caillé also considered the notion of being a candidate for the Conservative Party of Canada in the last national election as well, but did not.
