QUEBEC ELECTIONS 2022 - PROJECTIONS OF RESULTS

QUEBEC ELECTIONS 2022 - PROJECTIONS OF RESULTS -
By Bernard Bujold - 
It is customary in sports to project the winner and the magnitude of his victory. Since politics is the ultimate sport (it would be naive to consider politics as serious), I played the game and here are my projections for the October 3, 2022 election. 
I'm basing this on the fact that the election is leader-driven and no party has played the team card. 
Obviously, I could be wrong, but as it is sport, I will survive, to the victory of my champion as well as to my potential failure as a platform manager with his projections... 

FRANÇOIS LEGAULT (CAQ): 108 MPS; 
DOMINIQUE ANGLADE (LIB): 6 MPS; 
GABRIEL NADEAU-DUBOIS (QS): 8 MNAS;
PAUL ST-PIERRE PLAMONDON (PQ): MNAS; 
ÉRIC DUHAIME (PCQ): 0 MNAS. 

Good luck to all the candidates!

QUEBEC ELECTIONS 2022 - THE ARENA MANAGERS

QUEBEC ELECTIONS 2022 - THE ARENA MANAGERS -
By Bernard Bujold - 
The only choice that belongs to us totally and truly is our vote! One citizen = one vote! 
Everything else, especially political debate, is "arena management" (a spectator in a crowd at the Bell Centre). 
But the vote, at all levels of government, is our individual choice! Long live the vote! https://www.electionsquebec.qc.ca/

QUEBEC ELECTIONS 2022 - THE MAIL THIEVES-

 

ELECTIONS QUEBEC 2022 - THE MAIL THIEVES- 
By Bernard Bujold - 
Who would have thought it? Candidates are stealing from each other the advertising flyers placed in the mailboxes! 
The plot was first revealed by a voter who filmed the candidate of Québec solidaire in Camille-Laurin, Marie-Eve Rancourt, lawyer and holder of a master's degree in international law and politics, while she was stealing from a mailbox a leaflet of the leader of the Parti Québécois to replace it with her own... 
This morning we learn that the Parti Québec was doing the same thing with the CAQ's flyers in another riding... 
Fortunately, Ulysse and I are on the lookout and we are watching our mailbox very carefully! Happy voting on October 3rd!

QUEBEC ELECTIONS 2022 - THE NEW CAR SALESMEN...

NEW CAR SALESMEN... 
By Bernard Bujold - 
An election with 5 parties is like wanting to buy a new car, visiting 5 different dealerships and, given our budget, all garages offer more or less the same proposals, with more or less comparable and equivalent promises. In the end, as with the cars, we might as well buy back the lease of the old car and keep it for another 4 years... 
In other words, it is not François Legault's offer that is exceptional, but none of the others are better!

THE DEPARTURE OF A FRIEND...

THE DEPARTURE OF A FRIEND... 
By Bernard Bujold - 
I have very few friends, because of my solitary nature... 
I was very fond of my next-door neighbor, who was about 90 years old! 
He died last night, Friday, September 23, the first evening of the fall of 2022! 
In fact, he and his wife represented, in my mind, the beauty and the human goodness... 
I loved to see them walking in the Old Port. One summer evening, in July 2019, without telling, I had photographed them with my iPhone, as I passed behind them and they were sitting on a bench in the Old Port. 
I never dared to send them the pictures because I thought they were too intimate of their souls!

QUEBEC 2022 ELECTIONS - THE CHAMPION'S BUS...

QUEBEC 2022 ELECTIONS - THE CHAMPION'S BUS... 
By Bernard Bujold - 
Ulysse and I took advantage of the break of our champion, François Legault, to make sure that his bus was well cleaned and that the mechanics are in perfect condition. On this first weekend of the fall of 2022, our champion is back on the road to victory on October 3rd! 
To be continued... 
Have a great fall!

QUEBEC ELECTIONS 2O22 - CAR SALESMEN -

THE CAR SALESMEN... 
By Bernard Bujold - 
The Radio Canada debate of Thursday, September 22, 2022 did not produce a new champion and François Legault obviously retained his title... 
Each of the other four party leaders looked like car salesmen... Each one repeated that he had a better offer than all the others... (the best car). 
In the end, you might as well buy back your old rental car, rather than change for the sake of change!

QUEBEC 2022 ELECTIONS - RADIO CANADA DEBATE - THE CHAMPION IS READY -

 

QUEBEC 2022 ELECTIONS - RADIO CANADA DEBATE - THE CHAMPION IS READY - 
By Bernard Bujold - 
The second debate of the Quebec 2022 election campaign will take place tonight, Thursday, September 22, starting at 8 p.m. on Radio-Canada. The incumbent champion, François Legault, is ready for the fight! 
On the other hand, the leader of the Liberal Party of Quebec, Dominique Anglade, will be able to appear at the debate on Thursday on Radio-Canada with good news because the judge has cancelled the decision of the director of elections to disqualify the candidate of Matane-Matapédia. The candidate will be able to run on October 3rd and the Liberal Party will have 125 candidates in the race like all the other parties. This is a victory for the Liberal Party, but more importantly for the right to run for office. According to the judge, it is unfair to prevent a citizen from running just because he or she has omitted an initial on a long form that already includes the oath and all the essential signatures.

QUEBEC 2022 ELECTIONS - POLLS -

QUEBEC 2022 ELECTIONS - POLLS - 
By Bernard Bujold - 
The latest poll released on Tuesday, September 20, still puts François Legault solidly in the lead with 38% and the others behind at 16%, except for the PQ at 13%. 
Assuming Legault wins a few more seats on October 3 than his current 76, say a total of 80 to 100, that leaves only 45 to 25 seats for the four oppositions. An average of between 10 and 5 each... It is unlikely that the CBC debate on Thursday, September 22 will change the position, as there are no major scandals in the campaign.

QUEBEC ELECTIONS 2022 -

QUEBEC ELECTIONS 2022- 
By Bernard Bujold - 
The three political leaders of the Liberal, PQ and Conservative parties say that the current campaign is a 5-way fight; while Québec solidaire claims that it has become a two-way fight, between him and the CAQ. 
François Legault loves to see the 4 leaders attacking each other and to light the fire, he answers that yes, it is a two-way fight with QS because he knows very well that this answer will light the fire and increase the attacks between his 4 opponents. 
As long as the attacks do not go towards him, his victory on October 30 is all the easier. https://www.ledevoir.com/societe/756738/c-est-une-lutte-a-cinq-repliquent-les-chefs-de-partis-a-nadeau-dubois

VIOLENCE ON THE CITY IN 2022 -

VIOLENCE ON THE CITY IN 2022 - 
By Bernard Bujold -
A man believed to be armed was shot by a police officer on Saturday, September 17, 2022 while walking at the corner of René Lévesque and Berlioz on Nuns' Island. The man allegedly pointed his gun at the police officer who returned fire. Imagine if the gunman had entered the IGA, located across the street, and had started shooting at people... 
Precisely, 12:30 on Saturday is my shopping time, and this IGA is one of my merchants... 
This event is just one of the recent violent crimes in the greater Montreal area! We must not panic, but we must be realistic and especially careful! The next time I go to the grocery store, I'll make sure he shows me the emergency exits other than the main entrance. And I will do the same thing at the other stores I visit.
