Quebec’s 2026 election unfolds quietly underground
The Quiet Contest
This election will be decided by frames, not slogans: – Public safety as civic order (CAQ) – Cultural continuity as political identity (PQ) – Individual rights as civic foundation (Liberals) And when the PQ softens its referendum posture and the Liberals fail to seize the moment, the CAQ doesn’t surge — it settles. Like gravity. Like a custodian flicking on the lights in a room everyone forgot they were standing in.
