Quebec Election Year Starts with Brutal Verdict on François Legault
Numbers suggest the Premier is done. Should Legault prepare for a walk in the snow?
The holiday break is now behind us, and Premier François Legault has yet to take his walk in the snow. All signs point to him running his fifth election campaign as leader of the Coalition Avenir Québec this fall—and his third as premier.
However, the embattled premier will have a steep hill to climb. A new Quebec survey from Pallas Data of decided and leaning voters, partly commissioned by The Walrus, suggested the holiday break did nothing to improve Quebecers’ mood toward their government in Quebec City, nor toward Legault himself.
