“From Business to Politics: Tracing François Legault’s Meteoric Rise in Québec”

François Legault has left a lasting impact on Quebec’s political scene during his time in office.

François Legault, the former Quebec premier, had a significant influence on Quebec politics for many years. His political journey began in 1998 when he was appointed as a minister by Lucien Bouchard, even before being officially elected as a Member of the National Assembly. Over the years, Legault held key positions in various governments before eventually becoming the leader of the Coalition for the Future of Quebec (CAQ) in 2011.

Under Legault’s leadership, the CAQ made significant strides in Quebec politics, winning seats in the National Assembly and eventually taking power in 2018. However, towards the end of his term, Legault faced challenges and saw a decline in popularity due to unpopular decisions.

Despite his earlier successes, recent polls indicated a decrease in support for Legault and the CAQ. As he steps down from his position, the future of Quebec politics remains uncertain.
