Quebec candidates have less than a week to make pitches as election day nears
Talk of possible U.S. interference in the Quebec election continues to swirl going into the final week of the campaign, with six days left.
MONTREAL - Quebec’s election oversight body Élections Québec faced 160 complaints over five days after launching unilingual French voter guides ahead of the Oct. 5 elections. The decision came due to provincial legislation from 2022 requiring French to be the only language used by public institutions. A resident in Westmount took Élections Québec to court, prompting a judge to order the agency to mail reminder cards in both languages, temporarily suspending the French Language Charter provisions. The controversy has sparked calls for permanent changes to the French Language law.
