It is chance and probably irony that the Liberal Party of Quebec (PLQ) and the Liberal Party of Canada (PLC) are experiencing leadership races at the same time.
Whatever your political preferences, it is in your best interest to follow these two races, since they will certainly have an impact on the upcoming general elections.
Mind your own business!
Whether you are Conservative, Bloc, PQ, New Democrat or Marxist-Leninist, the races taking place this spring should interest you.
One thing is certain, the leaders who will be designated will be the candidates to become prime minister in Quebec or in Ottawa.
Current campaigns should therefore be used to determine who you will vote for or who your candidate will face.
Even if you think your choice has already been made, in politics, everything can change overnight.
Look at what is happening in Ottawa right now. Pierre Poilievre thought he was campaigning on the deficits accumulated by Justin Trudeau. However, Trudeau will not be his opponent and the question at the ballot box is now “Which team will be the most competent to stand up to Donald Trump and Elon Musk”.
The economy and finance in subtitles
In the background of the economic-diplomatic crisis announced by the return of Donald Trump, the situation of public finances and the economy will remain essential.
As such, Paul St-Pierre Plamondon’s bet to put the referendum back in the spotlight could very well backfire. Even if his party is at the top of voting intentions, if the fate of Quebecers does not improve within two years, few will think that a referendum is the miracle solution to all their problems.
Whether you are liberal or not, this spring, mind your own business!
