There were several reasons for Jean-Talon voters to send a message to the CAQ.

First, MP Joëlle Boutin resigned less than a year after making a heartfelt appeal for citizens’ support.
Despite his ministerial profile, François Legault did not bet on it.
Some within the government believed that she could have succeeded Geneviève Guilbault as head of the Capitale-Nationale. Others don’t.
She could have found a hobbyhorse as a deputy, but the CAQ staff didn’t try to promote her.
3e shortcut
Then the government turned its back on its main commitment of the last two campaigns in Quebec by denying the road part of the Quebec-Lévis Tunnel under dubious pretexts.
Even if the citizens of the district live very close to the bridges, they would benefit from a reduction in traffic in their area if there was a connection between the two inner cities.
Above all, they could express their displeasure at such a broken promise.
What is particularly noteworthy is that François Legault even cuts out the facts to justify his about-face.
And the emptiness
Citizens could also judge that the CAQ’s record in Quebec with the abandonment of the 3rd tier is full of deflated intentions.
During the last election campaign, they were presented with a project for a public market in place of the Quebec-Lévis intersection that seemed like it came out of a Cracker Jack box.
As soon as the vote was over, Minister Jonatan Julien admitted that the likelihood of this happening was slim.
Not to mention that while the government has implemented reforms in health and education, there are currently few tangible results.
For its part, the PQ continues the exciting path of its rebirth.
He deserves the credit for establishing himself as an alternative to the government after the low point.
PSPP must continue to keep a cool head.
The people of Quebec in particular have told the CAQ that things are not going well.
Like a kick in the ass.
