Trois-Rivières

Quebec Immigration Minister Christine Fréchette wrapped up her election campaign in Trois-Rivières with her future uncertain, as polls projected the CAQ falling to fourth place. She and her activists voiced worry about the survival of the centre-right 'third way' in Quebec politics. Commentators described the CAQ's defeat as a rout, with some members saying they now await public political financing to keep the party alive while rivals circle its remains.
