Dionne Charest Enters Quebec Politics

Antoine Dionne Charest, son of former Quebec premier Jean Charest, officially launches his political career by being nominated to run for the Quebec Liberals in the key Verdun riding. His mother and Liberal leader Charles Milliard backed the move, seeing him as vital to the party’s future. Though his father didn’t attend, Dionne Charest spoke passionately about his family’s legacy of public service and his deep-rooted connection to politics. Verdun, once a Liberal stronghold, shifted to Québec solidaire in 2022, making this a high-stakes race. Meanwhile, Quebec’s political scene is roiling—with the Liberals trailing the Parti Québécois in polls and several CAQ ministers, including the Culture Minister who recently sparked controversy by endorsing sovereignty, opting out of re-election.
