Francois Legault

Canada's cities believe they will finally land easier and direct access to federal dollars in next year's budget, or at least wrest a platform pledge from parties in the 2019 election.

Quebec's political party leaders set their political differences aside on Saturday, September 22, 2018, as they headed to Gatineau, Que., to survey the damage from a tornado that ripped through homes and sent several people to hospital on Friday, September 21, 2018, night.

At a downtown Montreal hotel last week, Quebec solidaire co-spokesperson Manon Masse looked out at members of the city's business community and calmly declared she wanted a revolution.

Coalition Avenir Québec Leader François Legault took the Couillard Liberals to task Thursday after a leaked report showed a $4-billion Green Fund aimed at reducing greenhouse-gas emissions has been mismanaged and failed to meet targets.

Showing respect to a group that has been instrumental in shaping the Quebec of today is not pandering, or endangering the progress that’s been made in safeguarding the French language.

Parti Québécois Leader Jean-François Lisée accused Quebec Premier Philippe Couillard of hypocrisy for brushing off “Bonjour-Hi” as an “incident” during an English debate on Monday evening.

Quebec Premier Philippe Couillard accused Coalition Avenue Quebec Leader François Legault of scaring people with his immigration policies in Quebec’s first leadership debate Thursday evening in Montreal, calling out his political rival for proposing an “expulsion test” on new arrivals.

The perennially divisive topic of language politics surfaced on the Quebec campaign trail on Friday, September 7, 2018, as the leader of the Coalition Avenir Quebec promised his government would force new immigrants to leave the province if they don't learn French within three years.

Promises to seniors and local farmers were overshadowed on Day 14 of the provincial election campaign after a Parti Quebecois candidate was formally charged with impaired driving and refusing to obey a police officer.

By all means, it should be an interesting campaign, yet the promises — from all parties, not just the Liberals — are so milquetoast, nearly 40 per cent of Quebecers remain undecided about who to vote for in October.

The leaders of Quebec's main political parties spoke in unison on Friday, August 31, 2018, to defend supply management and send a message to federal negotiators as they held free-trade talks with their U.S. counterparts in Washington, D.C.

A Coalition Avenir Quebec star candidate was forced to clarify his remarks on Sunday, September 2, 2018, after a claim he that he'd witnessed political interference during his career as a police officer made waves on the Quebec campaign trail.

In an interview with National Observer on the campus of McGilll University in downtown Montreal, Quebec polling analyst Philippe J. Fournier said that François Legault’s party should not rest on their laurels yet.

The Coalition Avenir Quebec has boasted that it will have more women than men running in the provincial election campaign — a big change for the party, which opinion polls suggest is leading the governing Liberals.
