CAQ Leader Christine Fréchette’s fresh start withers in the end (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Christine Fréchette has done her best to outrun her own party. Since taking over the Coalition Avenir Québec and becoming Premier in April, she has tried less to rehabilitate a tarnished brand than to erase it. Her strategy was on display at the launch of the Quebec election campaign in late August, when observers quickly noticed that her bus and election signs did not feature her party’s name. “Avançons,” her campaign slogan read. Let’s move forward. Ms. Fréchette, 56, began the first debate of
Parti Québécois could win majority despite low support for sovereignty (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Quebec may be on the cusp of electing a Parti Québécois majority government that has promised to hold a referendum on independence in the next four years, despite the fact that most voters don’t want to separate from Canada. Just under a week out from the Oct. 5 election, Quebec’s political landscape remains so divided that the PQ could nab a majority of the province’s 127 seats with scarcely 30 per cent of the vote. It would be an unprecedented ending to an unusual campaign, in which none of th

Read excerpt
When he was a teenager, Paul St-Pierre Plamondon went to Denmark and organized a referendum. Another exchange student might have preferred to blend into the background at a foreign upper-secondary school thousands of kilometres from home.

Crowded political landscape leaves Quebec voters lukewarm as election nears (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Voters in Quebec are facing an almost unprecedented array of choices in this fall’s election, but amid the noise and bluster of a crowded field, they have yet to fall in love with any of their options. On Oct. 5, Quebeckers will select from five major political parties who are all likely to win at least a handful of seats in the province’s National Assembly. It should be an embarrassment of riches, but voters seem unable to muster much enthusiasm for anything on the menu. The Parti Québécois is
Five takeaways from the Quebec leaders debate (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Quebec’s five main party leaders tried to sell themselves to voters Tuesday evening in the first debate of an election campaign that has thus far failed to move the needle. The election is unfolding amid the escalating Canada-U.S. trade war, which dominated the first part of the campaign as the leaders tried to cast themselves as the best defenders of Quebec’s interests. The Parti Québécois, which has been leading in the polls, has had to defend its promise to hold a third referendum on independ
