Pumped up by the latest polls which give the Coalition avenir Québec (CAQ) a very comfortable lead over the opposition parties, Premier François Legault entered the Centrexpo in Drummondville smiling, while chanting the theme of pride. . All day, the word “pride” was on everyone’s lips, repeated in all sauces, hammered on the stage, in the corridors and in press briefings and speeches by ministers of the Legault government. […]
Obviously, everything was orchestrated to give a flawless image of government action, the ministers present on the spot justifying in turn the party’s choice not to address any issue likely to embarrass the government or provoke a debate. on one or another of the major issues that make political news on a daily basis. None of the 23 resolutions studied by the members – and sent out in less than two hours – dealt in particular with waiting times in the emergency room or for surgery in hospitals, the aging of the population or the fate of the elderly, the serious labor shortage, the housing crisis, the third link or the glaring lack of daycare places. Not a word about the rising cost of living. No reference to the fight against greenhouse gases. In reality, the topo clearly showed the image of a “united and proud family” of its achievements.
If François Legault wanted to emphasize his team’s pride in his accomplishments during his tenure, he succeeded all along the line. On the other hand, for the content around its electoral platform, we will come back!
