  "account": "Members of the Quebec Liberal Party's youth wing are assembling this weekend in the Montreal region to prepare for the forthcoming provincial election. The annual convention, billed at $205.00 plus GST for one year, includes several workshops in St. Lambert, located across the St. Lawrence River from downtown. These sessions aim to educate young Liberals on managing a riding campaign, utilizing social media, and expanding their networks.\n\nCharlie Bourdages, the outgoing chair of the party’s youth commission, notes that younger individuals are seeking a more long-term perspective from their political leaders. Quebec Liberal Leader Charles Milliard is slated to deliver a speech later today and address inquiries from his newly recruited attendees. Victor Pelletier, a 25-year-old attendee who recently switched allegiance from the ruling Coalition Avenir Québec to the Liberals, praises Milliard's \"sound economic vision\" for the province.\n\nThe provincial election is scheduled for October 5th, following eight years of governance under the CAQ. This report, originally published by The Canadian Press on August 15, 2026, provides an overview of the youth wing's preparations for the upcoming political event.",
