Maurice Duplessis

There's internal pressure as well.

The Quebec Premier at the time, Maurice Duplessis, wants results ASAP.

The province relies heavily on American hunters and tourists, and three visitors murdered in the Gaspé wilderness with no one held responsible is hardly good publicity for the province or its premier.

Duplessis is a polarizing figure known for his dominant iron-fisted leadership.

This is unheard of.

The Conservative Party, I mean, you have to go back to Maurice Duplessis in the 1930s to see the Conservative Party of Quebec with that high of a score.

And so this is something that is very, very shocking for the Liberals because when you look at this polling period, the Liberals right now, Outside of Montreal, Laval and the Gatineau region, they are either third or fourth in every other region of Quebec.

The English speaking vote is down.

And it's nothing new.

It's something we've seen under Maurice Duplessis even in the 40s and 50s.

And it's something that existed even before the sovereignty federalism debates that arose or arose in the 60s.

So it's nothing new to me.

Karim.

You know, he's before my time, but Maurice Duplessis with the whole, you know, the electrification of Quebec, you know, électricité, and everybody who votes for him, he's going to get an electric fridge.

You know, it's not a new thing.

But if this does go through and he does follow on his promise, assuming, call it 200 million adults in the U.S., that's a $10 trillion promise.
