A rabbit out of a hat, a stone in the pond… we no longer know how to describe the astonishing pirouette of François Legault in the file of the third link, which now looks like a scarecrow, the day after the crushing defeat in Jean -Heel. The Prime Minister, however, showed elegance by indicating to candidate Marie-Anik Shoiry that she had nothing to do with Monday’s defeat, that he and his party took full responsibility for it and heard the message that the population had just thrown at them. But the speed with which he resurrected the still warm corpse of a broken promise by saying “want to consult the population” is proof by a thousand that he had not consulted them for a long time and that he took them for granted. Too little, too late, as the other would say. The historic victory of the Parti Québécois (and the virtues of transparency put forward by a candidate and a leader at odds with Legault’s style) constitutes an electric shock which could well represent Everest for the CAQ government (of a single man?), who no longer has the capital of sympathy necessary to extend his power and whose veneer is increasingly peeling off visibly…
