Milliard threatens to sue PSPP
Last week, Paul St‑Pierre Plamondon implied that the Quebec Liberals are funded by the mob; party leader Charles Milliard is threatening to sue but PSPP refuses to retract.
It’s going to be a long campaign.

I’m calling it now, there will be no Qc referendum this year or for the forseeable future.
This is PSPP flailing, realizing he’s an empty suit. A remarkably amateurish move by someone who should know better, with no clear exit strategy other than an inevitable public apology or lost lawsuit.
PSPP could have challenged Milliard on any number of policy points. This is deranged.

All PSPP had to do was be cheerful and wait for October…

When was the last time you met a cheerful separatist?

Here’s the problem: https://lactualite.com/politique/sondage-une-course-a-trois-imprevisible/
Well, problems. 1/3 of the seats are up for grabs. No party has even 1/3 support. No party is likely to get a majority. There is no widespread support for the PQ’s fundamental policy. The CAQ has risen from the dead as people look at the PQ and PLQ and remember why they voted CAQ.
The PQ thinks this is a PQ v. LPQ race, which it only seems like, because really it is a PQ v. PQ race, which is to say just don’t screw it up. So, of course, they are screwing it up.
The mafia/illicit money thing plays right back into Parizeau’s “money and the ethnic vote”.

Even in a close three-party race, the PQ is within spitting distance of a majority (Quebec125 projects them at a median of 61 seats, a much more efficient result for their 30% polling support compared to the PLQ, which is at 26% but headed for closer to 40 seats).

Some day our political pundits will re-evaluate the last 60 years and come to the realization that the driving force in Quebec was not the separatist movement, but was the desire of Francophones to be able to earn a good living without needing to speak to a boss who didn’t know French.
The separatist movement was a tool and and a slogan, but the ’95 referendum was the ultimate case of the tail wagging the dog/touching the hot stove, and going there again would be much too risky for people that have their suburban homes with backyard pools and affordable daycare.
