QUEBEC — Coalition Avenir Québec Leader François Legault is holding a news conference this morning in a riding strongly contested by the upstart Conservative Party of Quebec.
Beauce-Sud, south of Quebec City and bordering the United States, is in a part of the province known for its conservative politics and entrepreneurial spirit.
The CAQ won the riding in 2018 but polls suggest it has become a toss up between Legault’s party and the Conservatives, who were not a factor in the last election but who are seriously contesting a number of ridings in the region.
Conservative Leader Éric Duhaime, meanwhile, is holding a news conference later today in Trois-Rivières, Que., on the north shore of the St. Lawrence River between Montreal and Quebec City, where he’s making an announcement about families and the economy.
