One day journalists will have to go beyond the stage of simply wanting to put Éric Duhaime in a box. It was screaming on the show Everybody talks about it, Sunday evening, while Guy A. Lepage (who is not a journalist, but seemed to have forgotten him) obviously had in mind to cook his guest and make him a scapegoat. Just as it was the day before, on the show Facts first (first channel of Radio-Canada), while the very experienced Alain Gravel, who seemed to run out of arguments to overcome his guest, brought out an interview excerpt from 2014 where Éric Duhaime rants about the black community , with the obvious aim of discrediting him. Even Anne-Marie Dussault, from the show 24-60seems to fall into this trap […].
Whatever one thinks of his ideas, the man is nonetheless in the saddle and seems determined to take his role as party leader very seriously. Far from slipping away, this former radio host does not deny having sometimes erred (he even says he has offered his apologies after the blunder reproached by Mr. Gravel), but affirms that he has now changed his hat and even mentions the possibility to one day replace François Legault. We can make fun of it as much as we want, it is still for this reason that he refused to meet the demonstrators in Ottawa, and it is clear that this strategy pays off for him. Finer fox than it seems, this ex-political attaché knows how to press the right buttons and give the impression to a significant electorate, helping the pandemic, of finally being listened to and recognized. It may be necessary to end up confronting it on the muddy ground of the program it proposes, the privatization of the health system, to name only one, not being the least measure.
