10/3 podcast: Quebec election: Can the CAQ survive a resurgent PQ?

September 11, 2026

Amid an ongoing trade war with the U.S., Quebec voters will head to the polls this fall.

Will new CAQ leader Christine Fréchette manage to repeat what Mark Carney did for the federal Liberals, renewing a long-standing government for a new mandate? Or will the resurgent Parti Québécois unseat the CAQ after eight years in government?

Phil Authier, political correspondent with the Montreal Gazette, joins host Dave Breakenridge to discuss how the political landscape in Quebec has changed in the last eight years, how the trade war has factored into this race, and what a PQ win could mean when it comes to the debate around Quebec separatism.
