In Quebec’s election, a rising progressive party and a new vision of sovereignty
Posted September 7, 2022 6:24 am.
On October 3, nearly everyone agrees that Premier Francois Legault and the CAQ will win another election. But after that, there’s a lot in flux. The Parti Quebecois have shrunk to almost nothing, the Liberals are fighting to offer voters a vision … and the Quebec Solidaire party has a progressive platform and an entirely different approach to sovereignty: Why should it only be for Quebec?
Can they win over enough disgruntled CAQ voters to make it close? Will Quebec’s younger voters come out in droves for a young leader who rose with them in university protests? And what does the future of La Belle Province look like?
