The PQ winner in Jean\u002DTalon, Pascal Paradis, becomes the party\u0027s fourth MNA.
QUEBEC — Voters in the Quebec City riding of Jean-Talon have sent a stinging message of discontent to the Coalition Avenir Québec government, electing a Parti Québécois MNA for the first time in the riding’s history.
The PQ winner in Jean-Talon, Pascal Paradis, becomes the party’s fourth MNA. The win will be seen as a personal victory for Supporters react to the announcement of Parti Québécois candidate Pascal Paradis being elected in the Jean-Talon byelection, in Quebec City, Monday, Oct. 2, 2023.The mood was very different at CAQ headquarters, with supports quietly sipping their beer and chatting while waiting for Premier François Legault to concede defeat.“As told you earlier privately, Marie-Anik you did not lose,” Legault said in a short speech next to his candidate. “It’s the CAQ and me who lost.
“It’s disappointing,” CAQ cybersecurity minister Eric Caire told reporters. “It’s a wake-up call for all of us. I thought it would be closer. It’s not an easy night.”Caire, however, insisted the loss does not augur gloomy news for the CAQ in the provincial capital. There were signs of trouble early. After a campaign where CAQ voters were greeted by voter chill in their door-to-door campaigning, CAQ workers and volunteers Monday were tight-lipped most of the day, unable to say which way the wind was blowing.While polls showed the PQ was ahead of the CAQ in the region, it was unclear whether those opinions would materialize into votes in the ballot box given the PQ’s total lack of history in this riding, which traditionally voted Liberal.
The riding had previously been Liberal. In fact Jean-Talon had voted Liberal 18 consecutive times starting in 1966. When the Liberals lost the riding in 2019, they lost the only seat they held east of Montreal.The people in the riding are used to voting often. This was the fourth byelection in Jean-Talon since 2008. The riding includes the old cities of Sillery and Ste-Foy, which are now boroughs of Quebec City.
