“For people who are part of the Conservative alliance, the fact that Mr. Poilievre was elected leader of the federal Conservative party is a good sign; it’s encouraging for us,” Poudrier said in an interview. “It says to us that we’re not alone in sharing these values.” “It creates the conditions for a certain kind of political message, one that finds the state goes too far, that the state spends too much, that the state is indebting itself,” he said in a recent interview, adding that inflation has contributed to that resentment against the government.
Poilievre won almost all of Canada’s 338 ridings in the leadership race, including 72 of Quebec’s 78 ridings. Support for smaller government isn’t entirely foreign to the province. The Action démocratique du Québec — the party that Duhaime stood for in 2003 — advocated for reducing the role of the state in Quebec society. That party merged into the Coalition Avenir Québec in 2012.
