The Conservative Party announces 10 new candidates in the Montreal region

Ten new candidates from the Conservative Party of Quebec (PCQ) will try to delight CAQ strongholds, solidarity and liberals during the fall elections, announced the leader of the party, Éric Duhaime, Monday evening in Montreal.

Surrounded by his new candidates at the Pub Saint-Paul, in Montreal, Mr. Duhaime was delighted with these newcomers in ridings which, however, promise to be difficult to conquer for training. Jayson Paquette-Gendron, Louise Poudrier and Emmanuel Da Costa will be respectively candidates in Gouin, Hochelaga-Maisonneuve and Mercier, where deputies from Québec solidaire are announced to be difficult to dislodge.

Originally from Cuba and immigrated to Canada in 2001, Esnesto Almeida will face, among others, the Premier of Quebec, François Legault, in the Assumption. The one who works in the field of automobile bodywork accuses François Legault of having adopted “liberticidal and unjustified” measures, according to an official press release. “There is no question that I or my descendants live communism another time,” he condemns.

Opposing in particular the leader of the Liberal Party, Dominique Anglade, in Saint-Henri-Sainte-Anne, Mischa White has been a reservist in the Canadian Armed Forces for 17 years. In another Liberal stronghold, the constituency of Robert-Baldwin, financial adviser Alex Lellouche will try his luck. “I want and must stand up for my English-speaking fellow citizens who are targeted by Bill 96,” he says.

The other candidates announced Monday evening are those of Évelyne Latreille, in Laporte, Sabrina Ait Akil, in Mont-Royal Outremont, Lucien Koty, in Verdun, and Louise Sexton, in Maurice-Richard. Three of these ten new candidates have an immigrant background, and these new announcements bring the number of candidates officially nominated for the party to 76.

According to a Léger poll published last month, the PCQ is currently third in voting intentions, receiving 15% of them. The Qc125 electoral projection site, however, predicts the election of only one member of the party, namely the leader, Éric Duhaime, currently in good standing in the riding of Chauveau. The best possible scenario for the party would be the election of a maximum of six deputies, according to Qc125.
