VICTORY AND DEFEAT

VICTORY AND DEFEAT… 
By Bernard Bujold - 
My friend Mark Carney won his bet… He is no longer afraid of the Parti Québécois, and he even warmly congratulated its leader on his victory. 
Quebec has, of course, elected a Parti Québécois government—but it is a minority government. It is therefore becoming clear that Paul Saint-Pierre Plamondon will not be able to unilaterally push through his referendum plan. But even though the PQ does not have an absolute majority with its 59 members of the National Assembly, it can secure one by forming coalitions, notably with Québec solidaire, which, with its 9 members, provides a majority by association of 68 members. Paul Saint-Pierre Plamondon did, however, acknowledge in his acceptance speech that he is in a minority and intends to collaborate with the three other parties; he even mentioned Mark Carney in Ottawa, with whom he plans to work on joint projects… The big loser is the CAQ—a total and historic defeat! 
As for me, I lost my local election, but as I always say: “Life goes on”… 
Looking forward to fall 2026!
