Plamondon’s Quiet Campaign Under Scrutiny | Calgary News

As Quebec’s election looms on October 5th, PQ leader St-Pierre Plamondon faces mounting pressure to soften his image — known for his serious demeanor and rare smiles, even after six years at the helm.

A tense meeting with a resident who opposes his plan to slash Santé Québec funding reveals a growing disconnect with voters, while his last-minute withdrawal from a debate — citing a changed opponent — adds to the scrutiny. Yet, glimpses of him enjoying a beer festival, laughing and posing for photos, hint at a more approachable side. With debates looming and economic plans set to be unveiled, Plamondon’s quiet preparation may prove pivotal — or risky — as undecided voters decide Quebec’s next government.
