i know he lost badly - twice - but i miss gilles duceppe.
this new guy seems like a dumbass. how he's deduced that triggering an election before an aid extension is passed in the middle of a pandemic (of which he's in isolation for) is in the interest of quebeckers is beyond me.
nor is this a particularly moral stance, given that he supported the government through the snc-lavalin fiasco. overt corruption was fine with mr. blanchet, so long as the recipient of the corruption was quebecois capital.
the right calculation was to wait it out. he flubbed this. badly.
