Gabriel Nadeau-Dubois believes more in a two-way fight with the CAQ

SHERBROOKE — Gabrielle Nadeau-Dubois, thrilled by the success of an evening show for sold-out activists at Estrie, believes the Quebec election looks like a two-way battle between Quebec Solidaire and the Coalition Avenir Quebec (CAQ).

An hour before the start of the event, a long line of several hundred people was already visible in front of the Granada Theater in the heart of Sherbrooke.

“We’re going to have a show of strength tonight,” he said during a press scrum at the electoral office of his candidate and outgoing MP for Sherbrooke, Christine Labrie, after briefly greeting people outside.

“In Sherbrooke, we had a two-way fight, in Quebec the campaign was more of a two-way fight between Quebec Solidaire and François Legault and his team,” he said.

On the contrary

Since the start of the election campaign, the conflict between Quebec Solidaire and the CAQ’s vision has “burst more and more openly,” Mr. Nadeau-Dubois explained.

François Legault, for his part, is leading a “more negative, more aggressive” campaign, he observes.

“He spends more time talking about Quebec Solidaire than talking about his project for Quebec,” Mr. Nadeau-Dubois joked.

While the Conservative leader, Eric Duhaime, appears to be taking advantage of the frustration caused by the pandemic, “My main opponent is […]It remains François Legault,” he said.

Later, in front of a thousand solidarity activists gathered at the Granada Theater, Gabriel Nadeau-Dubois specifically attacked the CAQ leader.

“Francois Legault’s software, which is frozen in the 90s”, hammered the co-representative of Quebec Solidaire.

“In the air, tonight in Sherbrooke, I feel something special,” he said, presenting Quebec Solidaire as the only alternative to Francois Legault’s coalition Avenir Quebec.

“The time has come to take up the torch of major projects,” said Mr Nadeau-Dubois, who earlier in the day unveiled the Estrie component of his party’s proposed “transport revolution”.

“We have already done great things in Quebec, we can do more, we are capable,” repeated Gabriel Nadeau-Dubois, convinced that an “orange wave” would sweep Estrie on October 3.
