Quebec premier launches last-ditch effort to avoid political annihilation
Facing polls showing his party could lose all 83 seats, Legault promises deep public service cuts and a tougher crime stance to regain voter support.
- Quebec Premier François Legault resumed sessions at the provincial legislature this week, pledging to rescue his party ahead of the October 2026 election.
- This follows polls indicating that Legault's Coalition Avenir Québec faces the possibility of losing all 83 of its seats should a vote take place at this time, alongside rising discontent within the party caucus.
- Legault indicated a move toward more conservative policies by pledging reductions in government staffing, tougher measures against criminal activity, expedited approval processes for major initiatives, and introducing legislation to reinforce secularism.
- He referenced a famous line from Rocky Balboa, emphasizing that success depends not on how hard you strike but on enduring adversity and continuing to advance, highlighting his determination to persist.
- Despite Legault dismissing internal criticism and insisting on his leadership, experts warn this fall session may be his last chance to restore public confidence.
