Quebec party leaders to take the stage for final debate of election campaign
Leaders also faced questions about alliances and spending promises as poll aggregator Qc125 said the Parti Québécois remains the front-runner.
- On Wednesday, Quebec party leaders will square off in the final debate of the provincial election campaign. Hosted by Radio-Canada at 8 p.m., the event features all five party leaders before the October 5 vote.
- Participants will debate five key themes: the future of the province, the economy, childcare, health, and cuts to taxes and public services. Sovereignty and the trade war with the U.S. remain central campaign issues alongside these topics.
- Addressing speculation about coalition scenarios, Parti Québécois Leader Paul St-Pierre Plamondon ruled out an alliance on Monday. He rejected rivals' claims that his platform resembles that of Conservative Leader Éric Duhaime.
- Poll aggregator Qc125 identifies the front-runner in the race. However, data suggests a minority outcome remains the most likely result when voters head to the polls.
- Affordability concerns continue to shape the electoral landscape. These critical factors will influence how voters finalize their decisions before the campaign concludes.
