A few days after the CAQ tidal wave, actress Anne Casabon gave an entirely positive assessment of her political commitment to conservatives. On the other hand, she asked a lot of questions about her return to the movie sets.

Although she suffered two defeats in a few months – during a by-election in Marie-Victorin in January and in the riding of Iberville on October 3 – Anne Casabon gave a positive assessment of her political commitment.

“My goal is to gain experience, do my classes and advance party ideas [conservateur]. I know very well that my opportunities are limited. A simple portrait has already been drawn,” she said.

Anne Casabon speaks of the defeat “with half a heart” – although she was in fourth place with 11% of the vote -, noting the “great development” of the party since 2018, she also evokes the “richness” of her meetings with voters. , they expressed their concerns, particularly about the “burden of bureaucracy”.

As we remember, Anne Casabon, who joined Eric Duhaime’s team during the pandemic at the end of the summer of 2021, after questioning the effectiveness of the vaccine – “The vaccine is shit”, declared in a video before she stated: “Shit that prevents you from catching the virus and / or giving the virus. »

After that, it announced that it is temporarily withdrawing from the business. “As an actress, I don’t tempt myself to favor one segment of the population over another regarding their vaccination status,” she points out. Today, she has more than anything the right to ask questions and express dissenting opinions.

“The truth is that I am a hypochondriac and hypersanitary, continuing to act, and I have seen many inconsistencies in the use of certain measures. On film sets, I was supposed to wear a clean mask after every use, but people followed the imposed norms without asking questions. Today, with this type of virus, we know that there is no guarantee that masks will work 100%. »

No need to worry

During the campaign, the tone is sometimes harsh or runny. The day after the first leaders’ debate, Anne Casabon did not hesitate to make fun of François Legault at a rally she organized – she scowled at how she wore glasses or was christened “duck face”.

Does she regret some of the comments? ” Absolutely not ! Surprises Anne Casabon. It’s a harassment, I’m leading the group, and then it’s part of the body analysis we do about the candidates participating in the debate. I have my character, my color. Are they trying to make me the ideal candidate? Are we there? »

Very good. But what awaits him now? Does she want to make a comeback on film sets or theater stages? “I don’t know,” Anne Casabonne admitted. Fabien Larouche wanted me to take on the role of Roxanne Walk-in 2But I took it back…”

Over the past few months, she knows that a part of the artistic community has turned on her. “I will not name the loudmouths. But the majority of people felt compelled to obey without asking any questions. I don’t judge people who are afraid, but I question the fear that takes over people and prevents them from thinking. »

Is she afraid to play again? “No, answers Anne Casabon. Acting has always been my passion except I wonder about the medium. Will I still have fun? What good is talent if you don’t listen to someone? If I write about it, will people spit on me? So I wonder? »

In short, the actress will take part in the balance sheet of the Conservative Party at the end of October and see if she will continue to militate in one form or another. However, no decision has been taken yet to return to the stage or the sets. “Right now, I’m tempted to take care of animals. I find that human beings are somewhat reactive. From any side. If not, she reflects on her artistic life. “For now, I’m tempted to take a vacation and see what happens next. »
