Leader Paul St-Pierre Plamondon has successfully burst the CAQ’s bubble and proved it is vulnerable
“The Parti Québécois is back,” PQ Leader Paul St-Pierre Plamondon told an ecstatic crowd of supporters who gathered Monday to celebrate the sovereigntist party’s stunning by-election victory in a hotly contested Quebec City riding.
On Tuesday, Mr. Legault suggested he could revive his original plan for an underwater “Third Link” for vehicular traffic between the provincial capital and its south shore suburbs. The Premier had scrapped the plan in April, saying that a permanent move toward remote work had rendered the project redundant. Instead, he said the CAQ would set its sights on building a tunnel for public-transit vehicles only.
What remains to be seen is whether Mr. Plamondon can capitalize on his own rising favourability ratings and the growing dissatisfaction toward the CAQ government to make the PQ a true contender in 2026, when the next election is set to be held.
