Stéphane DionGUEST
we may have the 5th of October, not this Monday, the other one, a government that will be majority, that will be only 30% of the vote, the lowest percentage of votes a government ever received in the history of Quebec since Confederation.
Stéphane DionGUEST
The lowest one up to now is 32%, almost 33% by the Parti Québécois again under Pauline Marois, but it was a minority government.
Stéphane DionGUEST
This time we may have a majority government that will be the lowest percentage of vote ever received.
Stéphane DionGUEST
But it's not only in Canada.
Chantal HébertPANELIST
No one is getting 40% on Monday in Quebec.
Chantal HébertPANELIST
So you are basically dealing with a prime minister who is more popular than you are as you come into office.
Chantal HébertPANELIST
Uh, and I think there are realities.
Chantal HébertPANELIST
It's easy to say we, the, the Constitution is we've never signed on it, et cetera.
Chantal HébertPANELIST
All week he's been saying, "Well, it doesn't matter what the Constitution says because it's illegitimate in Quebec." There are only two provinces that have used the current amending formula that comes from patriation to amend the Constitution since 1982.
Chantal HébertPANELIST
One of those is New Brunswick for the equality of French and English, and the other is Quebec for language-based school boards.
Chantal HébertPANELIST
Guess who was in government when that happened? The Parti Québécois, led by Lucien Bouchard, and the minister in charge, Pauline Marois.
Chantal HébertPANELIST
So it's illegitimate, but you are the party in government that has actually used it.
Rosemary BartonHOST
Yeah.
Chantal HébertPANELIST
Uh, Lucien Bouchard didn't, Pauline Marois did not, uh, Jean-François Lisée did not.
Chantal HébertPANELIST
That h- has not happened.
Rosemary BartonHOST
Okay.
James MenniePANELIST
I said, well, that makes one of us.
James MenniePANELIST
And I understand what's at stake, okay? And I don't want to roll back in the day, but listen, we were talking about people like Pauline Marois.
James MenniePANELIST
We're talking about Jean Charest.
James MenniePANELIST
We're talking about Philippe Couillard.
James MenniePANELIST
We have people... who, quite frankly, I think still, if they walked into a room, they wouldn't turn their heads because people don't even know who they are.
James MenniePANELIST
We have the same old rubbish coming out of the PQ.
James MenniePANELIST
You'll recall during the 2014 campaign when Pauline Marois was running against Jean Charest, she had headed a minority government, that fell after 18 months, and she had that infamous scrum, I don't know where the hell we were, And she started talking, oh, we'll have our own passports.
James MenniePANELIST
Yeah, that's right.
Tom MulcairGUEST
You have to look at what people who have been there have said.
Tom MulcairGUEST
Pauline Marois said that it would be five years of perturbation, five years of upheaval if ever we were to separate.
Tom MulcairGUEST
But we're looking at at least two to three years of upheaval with a group of people who come in who are not there to run the government.
Tom MulcairGUEST
They're there to separate Quebec from Canada and blame Ottawa for

Jonathan KallesPANELIST
Fine, but he governed.
Jonathan KallesPANELIST
Pauline Marois had a very short 18 months in power, but she wasn't trying to pick fights.
Jonathan KallesPANELIST
She was trying to get herself to a majority government and try to seem like she was competent in governing.
Jonathan KallesPANELIST
He's coming out straight up and saying, "I'm looking to pick fights because this is my raison d'être." And that has, and, and, and it goes to Anglo voters, but voters across the province.
Philippe J. FournierSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
Or even if it's just 30%.
Philippe J. FournierSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
Pauline Marois had 32% of the vote in 2012, and she was reduced to a minority.
Philippe J. FournierSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
But a majority with 30% would be unprecedented.
Philippe J. FournierSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
This is a fractured landscape.

Nora LoretoGUEST
He is totally right-wing, and there is years of his ranting against cyclists and the tramway and people that right-wing radio hate.
Nora LoretoGUEST
And he's chosen to run in a riding that actually had been Pauline Marois' riding.
Nora LoretoGUEST
And Pauline Marois was the premier of Quebec, first premier of Quebec in our history.
Nora LoretoGUEST
But also like, I mean, all like totally criticizable racist policy as well.
Nora LoretoGUEST
But was the architect of the daycare program here, a feminist, a dedicated feminist activist here.
