In <em>Maclean\u2019s<\/em>, Fournier writes\u00a0that we should have a clearer idea of what will h<a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/download-scripts-themes-apps\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"9\" title=\"Download Scripts &amp; Themes &amp; Apps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">app<\/a>en this week.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>What impact could Legault\u2019s words have on voting intentions of Quebecers as we enter the final stretch of this federal campaign? As of this writing, <strong>it is still too early to know whether the needle has moved<\/strong> in a conclusive matter for the Conservatives in the province. However, in Mainstreet Research\u2019s daily update (Sunday) morning (using data from two of three days fielded after Thursday night\u2019s English debate), the Bloc Qu\u00e9b\u00e9cois ticked upwards at levels comparable to the 2019 election results. If this increase of support translates into votes next Monday, it could hurt both the Liberals\u2019 and Conservatives\u2019 chances of gaining seats in the province. We will have to wait and see whether other polling firms early this week detect the same trend in favour of <strong>Yves-Fran\u00e7ois Blanchet\u2019s<\/strong> team.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><strong>\u00a0Blessing or curse?<\/strong> In the <em>Star<\/em>, <strong>Chantal Hebert<\/strong> <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.thestar.com\/politics\/political-opinion\/2021\/09\/11\/an-endorsement-from-quebecs-premier-could-hurt-erin-otoole-as-much-as-it-helps-him.html?rf\">writes<\/a> that it is anything but clear the Legault\u2019s intervention will end up helping the Conservatives.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p class=\"text-block-container\">There is at least one scenario that could see Legault\u2019s intervention resulting in more rather than fewer Liberal gains. In the last two elections, a favourable split in the non-liberal vote between the Conservatives and the Bloc helped the Liberals secure a few more francophone seats. And then there is the issue of whether Legault\u2019s good words are <strong>a blessing or a curse for O\u2019Toole<\/strong> <strong>outside Quebec<\/strong>. The premier\u2019s popularity may rub off on the Conservatives in Quebec, but his support could have the reverse effect outside the province. In many quarters of the rest of Canada, Legault is a controversial figure.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><strong>Debating the debate:<\/strong> Legault, and virtually every elected politician in Quebec, teed off on a <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/partiquebecois\/status\/1436152907532021764\">question<\/a> posed to Blanchet during the English language debate.
