The video broadcast on Wednesday by the liberal candidate Monsef Derraji which looks like negative publicity is “very good”, said Dominique Anglade on Thursday.
“All the content was written by the CAQ,” argued the leader of the Liberal Party of Quebec (PLQ), passing through Sherbrooke. Posted on Twitter, the black and white video of about 2 minutes presents various remarks made by the chief caquiste François Legault about immigration.
From the start, François Legault has held a discourse based on contempt for immigrants.
His politics flirt with division.To re-elect him is to encourage him in his drift.
On October 3, you have to tell him a clear and definite NO.#qc2022 #polqc pic.twitter.com/iwKiDdrFFv

In particular, we can hear in the video Mr. Legault who suggested at the beginning of September that a poor integration of newcomers could entail risks for the peaceful climate reigning in Quebec.
In the excerpt, we also find the remarks of the Minister of Immigration, Jean Boulet, held last week. “80% of immigrants go to Montreal, don’t work, don’t speak French or don’t adhere to the values of Quebec society,” he said, before apologizing on Wednesday. The video ends with images of people crying and a call to vote on October 3 “against division and exclusion”.
Mme Anglade rejects the argument of the CAQ which denounces a campaign of “smearing”.
” Seriously ? Let them look in the mirror,” she replied. These are “the words of François Legault”, she repeated. However, it is not an official advertising campaign, the party said.
Throughout the election campaign, the leader of the PLQ prided herself on being the only party that “brings people together”.
Further details will follow.
