A Special Look at the Quebec Election
Wednesday on CPAC

(Ottawa, August 28, 2012) – Tune to CPAC tomorrow evening for a special one-hour look at the Quebec election. CPAC’s Danielle Young highlights some of the key issues in the campaign before voters head to the ballot box next Tuesday to elect their provincial premier. The campaign is a three-way battle between Liberal incumbent Jean Charest, who has governed the province for the last 9 years; Pauline Marois from the Parti Québécois, which is leading in the polls and supports Quebec sovereignty; and a new party, Coalition Avenir Québec, whose founder, François Legault, a former PQ minister who has given up on sovereignty, wants to clean up the province’s finances and root out corruption. For an in-depth and on-the-ground analysis of how the winds of change are blowing over the province of Quebec, watch Campaign Politics tomorrow evening at 6 pm ET / 3 pm PT.
