KAMOURASKA, QUE.—The Quebec Liberal Party reminds me of Diogenes, the Greek philosopher who was said to be 'in search of an honest man.' The leaderless party could certainly use one right now as it sits at five per cent among francophones. In the last provincial election, the Liberals offered a more nationalist platform, ignoring their traditional Anglo Montreal base. The devastating defeat in October of 2022 was the party’s worst showing since its founding in the mid-19th century.
The fluently bilingual Dionne Charest is a lecturer at Université de Montréal, where he is finishing a doctoral thesis. While he has no interest in the vacant leadership post, he makes no bones about his intent to run for a seat in the National Assembly. Dionne Charest was keen to talk about the policy tour. He said members heard a great deal about bread-and-butter issues, but also about constitutional questions, and from anglophones who were “frustrated” about the language issue.
