Episode Details

Quebec’s election is boiling over with promises to fix affordability, but the auditor general’s warning about a looming deficit threatens to derail them all. CAQ wants to spend $9.7B extra over five years—but still needs $6B more, no tax cuts until then, and relies on unconfirmed federal cash. Liberals aim to cap rent in seniors’ homes; Québec solidaire demands 50K new social units and universal rent caps, slamming the current government for ignoring real housing struggles. Conservatives tout tax cuts—including zero sales tax on used goods—and slashing $47B in spending. Meanwhile, PQ leans into language politics, tying immigration to French decline and pushing stricter rules for French-language education. With voters desperate for relief and budgets tight, this race is a high-stakes test of who can deliver without breaking the bank.
