With 5 weeks to go until the October 1 election, the latest poll shows Philippe Couillard`s Parti Libéral du Québec (PLQ) trailing François Legault`s Coalition Avenir Québec (CAQ). Legault is leading as best leader. The other parties, including the Parti Québecois (PQ), are not in the running. In terms of appetite for change, 83% want a change in government. http://www.lapresse.ca/actualites/elections-quebec-2018/201808/23/01-5193963-sondage-ipsos-la-presse-la-caq-part-en-tete.php Sensing impending defeat, Couillard is desperate to improve the PLQ`s numbers and win votes, so he has promised a cheque of $150.00 to $300.00 per child. It`s interesting to note that the CAQ has many of the characteristics of a conservative party. A win by the CAQ and a PLQ defeat would set an interesting tone to next year`s federal election. Certainly not something that would be welcome by Trudeau and his Liberals.
