Pressure mounts on Quebec Liberal Leader Pablo Rodriguez to resign amid crisis

Wednesday, Quebec's anti‑corruption police announced they launched an investigation of the Liberal party as Quebec Liberal Leader Pablo Rodriguez spoke at a legislature news conference.
Allegations that operatives bought votes during the leadership race Rodriguez won in June have intensified, while members of caucus say the situation is very difficult, reflecting internal strain.

The Canadian Press first published Dec. 11, 2025 that photos show André Fortin and Michelle Setlakwe in Quebec City earlier this month amid the unfolding Liberal party investigation.
