ridings, eight years of majority rule, and an economy facing0:0850% U.S.0:09tariffs on Canadian goods, with jobs in manufacturing and aluminum on the line and0:13health care, cost of living, and language protection pressing at home.0:16Will the 10:30 a.m.0:18Signature in Quebec City lock October 5 as voting day and force a campaign where the0:23popular vote frontrunner holds just seven seats?0:26The legal trigger is a walk across Quebec City.0:28After a final cabinet meeting at 10 a.m., the Premier meets the Lieutenant Governor0:32around 10.30 a.m.0:34to advise dissolution of the 43rd Legislature.0:37Around 11 a.m.0:38a news conference follows where the decree is signed and writs go to returning0:41officers for all 127 ridings where 64 seats make a majority.0:46Once those writs are signed, official campaign finance and expense limits apply, and0:51third-party restrictions take effect.0:53The Premier making the request is Christine Frechette.0:56The spelling corrects a transcript that rendered it as Christerston Frasette.1:00leader of the coalition Avenir Quebec and thirty third Premier.1:04She succeeded Francois Legault who led the Key AQ since 2018.1:08Frechette won the CAQ leadership April twelfth, twenty twenty six, was sworn April1:13fifteenth and formed her ministry April twenty one.1:15First elected in twenty twenty two as MNA for Sanguinette, she is running in her1:19hometown of Trois Rivières, a seat previously held by outgoing Koch MNA Jean Boulet.1:24The lieutenant governor she meets is Manon Genote, in office since January 25, 2024,1:29who signs the decrees and states the purpose is for Quebecers to exercise their1:33right to vote.1:34At dissolution, the Assembly stood at approximately 79 for the CAQ, 18 Liberals, 111:39Quebec Solidaire, 7 for the Parti Québécois, 1 Conservative and 9 Independents.1:44That map reflects the strong CAQ majority from 2022.1:48Since then, CAQ support collapsed under Le Gaulle, while the PQ, despite only seven1:53seats, has led popular vote polls for roughly three years and won successive1:57by-elections.1:58Frechette is campaigning on stability and renewal to recover ground.2:01The days before the writ were volatile.2:04The withdrawal cited as intense pre-election activity centers on Vincent Marisol,2:08former Quebec Solidaire member for Rosemont sitting as an independent, announced as2:12the Parti Québécois candidate in Tasherot, and withdrawn two days later on August 262:17by PQ leader Paul St.2:18Pierre Plamonda.2:20The reason given was an ethics breach involving a Quebec City apartment funded by2:24the National Assembly housing allowance used on a home exchange platform to obtain2:27free accommodation abroad.2:29No cash changed hands, but the personal benefit from a publicly funded allowance2:33violated the party's strict ethics code, with a replacement expected Thursday.2:37Liberals saw parallel withdrawals, including Etienne Paino-Senden in Ramuski,2:41announced August 27th, and earlier Louis-Aric Savoie in Matane Matapedia Mitas,2:47while the KAQ issued heavy pre-writ spending announcements.2:50The trade war dominates.2:51The recent breakdown in Canada-U.S.2:53negotiations, U.S.2:55tariffs of 50% on substantial Canadian goods, and Canadian reciprocal measures have2:59left Quebec deeply exposed through manufacturing, aluminum, and supply chains.3:03with direct pressure on jobs and prices.3:05That feeds a wider test of economic stability and predictability alongside cost of3:10living, health care strains, and protection of language and culture.3:13After eight years of CAQ government, mostly under Legault, voters weigh whether to3:17continue under a new leader pitching a new vibe and renewal.3:20Sovereignty is back in the frame because the PQ has led polling and promises a3:24referendum in a first mandate, but would delay it until after President Trump leaves3:29office in 2029.3:30Opponents include liberal leader Charles Milliard and Conservative leader Eric3:34Duhaima.3:3539 days is not arbitrary.3:37Quebec's fixed date law passed in 2013 sets a general election for the first Monday3:42of October in the fourth calendar year following the year that contained the last3:45day of the previous legislature, in this cycle that is October 5th, 2026.3:50The Election Act requires a campaign between 33 and 39 days, and ideally the writ by3:55August 29th, with the Westminster Convention preserving the Lieutenant Governor's3:59discretion to dissolve earlier on the Premier's advice.4:02This call uses the maximum, landing exactly on the latest possible date.4:06What happens Thursday morning determines whether the calendar holds.4:09If Junot signs at 10.30, the 39-day clock is locked, writs go to returning officers,4:14and October 5 becomes formal rather than reported.4:16Outstanding are the precise minutes of the meeting, the signed decree text, the full4:20slate of replacement candidates in Tashero and elsewhere, and how expense limits and4:24the tariff debate shape the first week of a campaign that now has nowhere to hide4:28from the fixed date.閱讀文章事件時間軸HeyDex短片 ↗
