‘There are Quebecers who are disappointed' in the CAQ, so Legault plans to shuffle cabinet this fall
By
Recognizing Quebecers are disappointed in his government, Premier François Legault has announced plans to shuffle his cabinet this fall.
Trailing in the polls to the Parti Québécois and the Liberals as Quebec enters the summer season, Legault revealed his plan Friday in announcing the name of the Coalition Avenir Québec candidate in the byelection in the riding of Arthabaska-L'Érable.
The candidate will be local chamber of commerce president Keven Brasseur.
'I am aware there are Quebecers who are disappointed in certain issues handled by the CAQ,' Legault said at a news conference in Victoriaville.
'This summer, we will prepare changes ... including a cabinet shuffle. I will take the summer to plan the changes.'
Legault heads a caucus of 96 MNAs. He did not say who might be added or removed from cabinet.
The shuffle will happen as Quebec moves closer to the 2026 general election.

Seatless Poilievre rustles up leadership support among Stampede faithful
Article content He may have been rejected by voters in his own Ottawa riding but a Saturday evening Stampede week audience seemed ready to put Pierre Poilievre back in the Conservative leadership saddle. Article content The sold-out barbecue crowd courted by Poilievre at Heritage Park ended a day of political glad-handing among urban cowpokes by all the federal leaders and their provincial counterparts. Article content Article content Article content Article content In a campaign-style speech not unlike those he delivered last April ahead of the federal election lost by his Conservatives, Poilievre made his argument that he remains his party's best hope at the helm — and the 1,200 who gathered for beef and politics seemed receptive. Article content 'We don't back down and we don't run away when things get hard — we dust ourselves and get back in the saddle,' he told his supporters who delivered two standing ovations. Article content Poilievre wasted little time in taking shots at his nemesis, Prime Minister Mark Carney, by noting his shakiness earlier in the day flipping pancakes at a Stampede breakfast. Article content 'He couldn't figure out whether his elbows were up or down,' said Poilievre, digging on accusations Carney's decision to honour a demand by U.S. President Donald Trump that Canada drop a digital service tax. 'With his great talks with Trump, he's had much experience flip-flopping.' Article content Article content Poilievre avoided any words directly sympathetic to a separatist movement in Alberta but did suggest Albertans disillusioned with Ottawa have reason to be. Article content 'I'll use the platform of leader of the opposition to amplify the legitimate demands of western Canada to end the unfair treatment,' he said. Article content 'The era of Ottawa telling Alberta to pay up and shut up must end once and for all.' Article content Poilievre is bidding for a return to Parliament as he campaigns in a byelection in the solidly Tory seat of Battle River-Crowfoot, which will be held Aug. 18. Article content While he's expected to easily prevail there, his standing in the rest of the country is far less certain. Article content A Nanos Research poll conducted in late June suggests the ruling Liberals under new PM Carney lead the Conservatives by 14 percentage points. Article content Carney's lead as a preferred leader is even more pronounced in the survey with respondents choosing him over Poilievre by 29 points. Article content The knives among party operatives aren't yet out publicly for Poilievre but that could change if he continues to badly trail Carney in the fall, said Mount Royal University political scientist Duane Bratt. Article content And the Alberta byelection widely considered a shoo-in to return Poilievre to the House of Commons promises to be a political minefield in a national context, he said. Article content The one-time Tory leader will be walking a tightrope where the path he navigates could alienate party supporters with separatist leanings in Alberta and elsewhere, said Bratt. Article content 'What matters is not so much the election result, it's going to be his campaign that's happening during a debate about Alberta's place in Canada,' he said. Article content 'How does he not hurt himself in the rest of the country, what's his views on greater taxation powers for Alberta, on immigration in Alberta and on constitutional change?' Article content Article content In effect Poilievre, he said, will be spending much of his summer campaigning for both a seat in Parliament and his own job as Conservative leader. Article content And his running in one of the safest Conservative seats in the country — won last April with 83 per cent of the vote by Tory Damien Kurek, who's since signed on with a government relations and lobbying firm — produce optics of weakness, said Bratt. Article content But some of those who attended the Conservative party barbecue fundraiser said they don't foresee Poilievre being replaced by anyone else. Article content 'I can't see the party dumping him — he's been successful in a strange political environment,' said former conservative radio talk-show host Dave Rutherford. Article content He noted that despite the electoral loss the party under Poilievre increased its vote count by 2.5 million and added 25 seats to its caucus. Article content But he agreed Poilievre will have to balance his required support for a united Canada with an often separatist-leaning Conservative base in Alberta. Article content Article content Article content On Saturday morning, Carney flipped flapjacks at a Stampede breakfast in the city's northeast and admitted his skills were rusty. Article content 'I'm here all day until I get it right,' said Carney. Article content Premier Danielle Smith also attended the breakfast and playfully chided Carney on his pancake-handling technique. Article content She also told him she would soon be signing a memo of understanding with Ontario Premier Doug Ford on energy, priorities and trade. Article content 'It'd be so great if we didn't have (carbon) net-zero rules,' she told the prime minister, who walked the Stampede grounds Friday evening.

Lorne Gunter: Carney taking lessons from Trump and it's bad for Canada's bottom line
As much as U.S. President Donald Trump loves to exercise power by executive order, rather than leaving lawmaking up to the U.S. Congress, it is becoming increasingly obvious that Canada's very own Prime Minister Mark Carney loves governing by the Canadian equivalent – the order-in-council. Article content Consider for a minute Carney's refusal to have Finance Minister François-Philippe Champagne bring down a budget until November or December. Rather than a budget and enabling legislation to authorize nearly half a trillion dollars in spending, Carney prefers to rule (and spend) by cabinet decree. Article content Article content Article content Before April's election, parliamentary budget officer Yves Giroux estimated the federal deficit for the current fiscal year would be just about $47 billion. That's bad enough, but a significant decrease from the $62-billion deficit that the Liberals had to admit to before Christmas for last year. Article content But as Giroux pointed out at the time, his sum was only 'a baseline.' His number was only what the deficit would be before any of the political promises the winning party carried through on. Article content Since the Liberals were re-elected, Giroux has estimated for reporters that the Carney government's campaign goodies would raise the 2025-26 deficit to between $60 billion and $70 billion 'in the absence of spending cuts elsewhere.' That, of course, is as bad or worse than last year's Liberal amount. Article content Mark Carney intends for his government to spend more money than Justin Trudeau's, and without a budget or proper accountability to Parliament. Article content Article content But even Giroux's latest guestimate doesn't include measures the Carney Liberals have taken since the end of May without recourse to the House of Commons or a budget. Article content Article content Enter Toronto's C.D. Howe Institute. Article content The non-partisan think tank calculates that with measures announced by the Liberals since the election (right up to the cancellation of the digital services tax last weekend), the deficit this year will be $92 billion in the current fiscal year, $75 billion next year, $73 billion the year after that and $71 billion in 2028-29. Article content That's a total of $311 billion in extra public debt in just four years. It took the Trudeau government 10 years to add $600 billion. That's a rate of extra debt about 20 per cent faster than the rate built up by Justin Trudeau and his cabinets. Article content You may take comfort in the fact that Carney is a former central banker and international financier. I don't. Canada already has a higher-than-average debt-to-GDP ratio for a developed nation. Carney's orgy of spending will only make it worse.
