It’s not easy to navigate the chaos of sweeping statements from provincial and federal political leaders, which means that “everyone is attacking each other,” according to analyst Emmanuelle Latraverse.
M’s commentme Latraverse in the bulletin TVA News 10 p.m. Thursday came in response to Prime Minister François Legault’s statement asking the Parti Québécois (PQ) to press its federal alter ego to defeat the Trudeau government in Ottawa.
The disenchantment between the two prime ministers is public knowledge, while in Mr. Legault’s positions there is “a sort of contempt for Justin Trudeau’s way of governing,” analyzes the political columnist.
The analyst notes a sort of incongruity in the CAQ leader’s statement of wanting to put the immigration issue on the back of Paul St-Pierre Plamondon, while the PQ leader continues to hound the Prime Minister on the issue of immigration.
Even if the PQ leader could raise awareness in the Bloc Québécois on this issue, it is “not a priority” for its leader, Yves-François Blanchet, who has made the theme of pensions and seniors his hobby horse, according to the analyst.
“The problem with Mr. Legault is that by doing this, he has given everyone the opportunity to gang up against him,” added Mr.me Latraverse, who believes that Legault could however have a return favor, in the event of a Conservative government in Ottawa.
