(Quebec) After a very difficult start to the campaign in the capital region, Liberal leader Dominique Anglade bounced back in Quebec with a rally worthy of the name Monday evening.
Posted at 7:04 p.m.
“We feel that the tide is turning in Quebec,” she said during a press scrum after the event.
After spending a good part of the day in Trois-Rivières, Dominique Anglade headed for Quebec for a “militant happy hour” in the riding of Jean-Talon. At least 80 fired up activists were gathered. Quite a contrast to the rallies at the start of the campaign in Quebec.
Liberal activists “are here today”, she rejoiced. They are “coming back”, according to her. “The liberal stock, it is strong in Quebec. »
“I dream of one thing when I go to bed at night, that the national capital will turn red again on October 3,” she said in a speech to activists.
Julie White, Content Director of Mme Anglade, was named a candidate a few days after the start of the campaign. The Liberal leader had taken a walkabout earlier in Jean-Talon without a color holder by her side.
Julie White says she has launched in recent days a call for mobilization with Liberals “who had perhaps become a little detached from the party”.
“In 2019, we all saw it in the by-election, it was difficult. It’s okay but there is hope today, people want an alternative. They find that François Legault is arrogant. And in Quebec, a lot of things don’t pass, especially the third link, ”she told reporters. The CAQ won the riding of Jean-Talon from the Liberals during this by-election. The Liberal candidate was Gertrude Bourdon, who took part in the rally – as did former minister and local MP Yves Bolduc.
“We have a job to do, we won’t hide it, we have to be disciplined, work hard, do a lot of ground, but it’s possible in Jean-Talon,” said Ms.me White in a speech. We have a liberal base that we have to get out. »
