| Description | MONTREAL - Last spring, academics gathered at McGill University to debate whether Jean Charest's Liberal government was the worst in Quebec history. A poll published a week earlier had found that two-thirds of Quebecers wished the Premier would quit. "Charest must leave," was how the front-page headline in Le Devoir interpreted the results.
Mr. Charest ignored the advice, and on Wednesday he will launch an election campaign that, to the amazement of his critics, he stands a good chance of winning.
Speaking on Saturday to a gathering of 2,500 Liberals in Quebec City, Mr. Charest was downright cocky as he looked ahead to the election, expected for March 26. "Quebecers will never go back to the days of a Pequiste government, of wasted public funds," he predicted. |
