Like New Brunswick Liberal Leader Brian Gallant, Quebec Liberal Leader Philippe Couillard could lose his provincial election despite getting the biggest share of the popular vote, Chantal Hébert writes. In Quebec, the latest polls show a statistical tie between Philippe Couillard’s Liberals and François Legault’s Coalition Avenir Québec province-wide. But because the Liberal vote is heavily concentrated in Quebec’s non-Francophone areas, the CAQ has the seat edge. Given that, it might be politically suicidal for any Quebec opposition party to prop up a Liberal minority government. But a minority CAQ government would also have some reaching out to do.
