The Three Liberal Amigos | The Press

Even in these times of nostalgia for the Quebec Liberal Party (PLQ), I will be heartless, ill-mannered and condescending in this column.

I want to address the three amigos, Liberal MPs, who would be too interested in the leadership of their party: Marc Tanguay, André Fortin and Monsef Derraji.

Señores, you have to and you are looking for a solution to the miseries of your political formation. You are desperate to find the address of the Court of Miracles. 0n pray for you!

But here, we also understand that you are wondering if, somewhere, the PLQ’s stroke remedy could not pass through you. And just thinking about it, you go red with ambition.

We guess that you would see your name at the top of the poster, and you even feel like a kind of call… Of course!

You say why not me?

See PSPP, for example, that you plead.

It’s true, the guy was not leading off, just a few months ago. I myself had written during the campaign that the Parti Québécois had to be saved, like Private Ryan.

We needed a underdogwe like that, we in Quebec, and we chose him, PSPP, and it lasts.

Since then, we have forgotten that he did worse than the worst electoral performance in the history of the PQ. That he was elected MP on the buttocks thanks to some bullshit from a QS candidate. That all the deputies of his party have been erased from the political planet, except for two, whose victories are completely personal, and in which he has nothing to do.

As a sovereigntist friend repeats: “It’s cute in the meantime, but we won’t make a country with that. »

And you remind me of Mr. Duhaime, who started from scratch.

Maybe, but currently he’s in the dog box for several seasons, the Drag Queen Buster. Even at the end of his chain, barking to choke, not sure that the public will follow, as well as the cameras.

We will see in four years whether its relative success was circumstantial, and pandemic. And remember that he ate a cursed volley in the riding of Chauveau, in the heart of the conservative kingdom of Gérard Deltell.

Yes, I understand that you dream about it, the little guys, but there you will still have to take your equal gas.

But you won’t, at least not now, I can feel it, my rascals! Because you are feverish, and believe in your lucky star. It’s always the same story…

I can even see your strategy from here.

You might decide to make noise, flap your wings and blow the wind. In fact, trying to intimidate other potential candidates, grrrrr! Especially those coming from outside your caucus.

Because the candidates from outside, it is known, it wants the least trouble possible, and ideally to be crowned.

At the same time, you may zigzag your party’s authorities, so that a leadership campaign unfolds more quickly.

There again, candidates from outside don’t like to be pushed around in time, and you know it all too well.

Because otherwise, when the Legault government starts to weaken, and to go down in the polls, we will start talking about an alternative. And it is precisely there that candidates will begin to develop an appetite for the leadership of your party.

Very bad news for you, you have to prevent it from going that far.

Otherwise, you will probably miss the chance of your life, and Quebec, a great leader he did not see coming. Another historic missed opportunity for us. I don’t know how we could do without you, but if necessary, we’ll try to survive.

No, seriously! The truth is that you’re in bad shape, and I don’t see how that can change for your party without suspense coming from outside your benches. Unless a winning ticket, with an extra, lands in your huddle. We would only ask to be surprised!

And the CAQ, like Zeus, the god of lightning, hit hard in the last election. It will eventually wither quietly, this supremacy, but not in two weeks.

Well, it’s okay to create a committee to test you, think about who you are: “Save my soul”, as Luc De Larochellière sings.

But if I were the PLQ, I would wait for the political sky to clear up before moving on the leadership.

So, for the common good, it would be nice if you held your ranks, gentlemen. There are things called charisma and timingand without wanting to diminish you, in your cases, it remains to be proven…

Yes, ambition is legitimate, but there are limits. This limit is reached when we remember this universal defect of politicians, that of overvaluing themselves.

I am an incorrigible party breaker.

So try changing frequency and landing, you might be much more useful otherwise.

No hard feelings, boys!
