Quebec Elections: Legault Enters Territory Strongly Contested by Conservatives
Coalition Avenir Quebec leader Francois Legault holds a press conference this morning in a drive strongly contested by Quebec’s fledgling Conservative Party.
South of Quebec City and bordering the United States, Beauce-Sud is located in an area of the province known for its conservative politics and entrepreneurial spirit.
The CAQ won the ride in 2018, but polls suggest it has become a battle between Legault’s party and the Conservatives, who played no part in the last election but are seriously contesting a number of rides in the region.
Meanwhile, Conservative leader Eric Duhaime will hold a news conference later today in Trois-Rivieres, Que., on the north shore of the St. Lawrence River between Montreal and Quebec City, where he will make an announcement about families and the economy.
Liberal leader Dominique Anglade holds a press conference in Quebec City this morning, and Quebec Solidaire spokesman Gabriel Nadeau-Dubois speaks with reporters in Montreal about the cost of living around noon.
Parti Québécois leader Paul St-Pierre Plamondon is in Montreal for a press conference and then in Lavaltrie, Que., about 60 kilometers northeast, to present his party’s plan for the environment.
