  • CAQ's Fall: Legault Faces Quebec's Wrath

    02:12|
    Quebec Premier François Legault and his Coalition Avenir Quebec party are grappling with a challenging period, facing a significant drop in popularity and a series of controversies. The party has lost several members, including former Health Minister Christian Dubé, and is now trailing in the polls behind the Parti Québécois and the Quebec Liberal Party. Legaults unfavorable rating has surged to 75%, and the CAQ could potentially be shut out of the National Assembly in an election. The partys struggles are attributed to a record deficit, a controversial road project, a failed battery factory, and the SAAQclic IT fiasco, which has cost over one billion dollars. Additionally, Legaults handling of Bill two, which changed doctors pay and added targets, led to protests and more defections. Despite these challenges, Legault remains determined to lead the CAQ into the 2026 election, while rumors of potential successors circulate. Checkout Solipillow.com
