The First Big Test: A Quebec Constitution. Why Is Pablo Silent?

In politics, perception is nine-tenths of the law. Position is everything. So...where is Rodriguez on a Quebec constitution which enjoys support across the QLP and with supporters of other parties, Yes, even the CAQ?

The proposal, as outlined by Antoine Dionne Charest, will ultimately be presented to the QLP for adoption at its next annual convention in Lévis this November. Dionne Charest is expected to run as a party candidate in the next provincial election slated for 2026.

This is a national litmus test in Quebec and so far, Pablo still isn't on the record in support of this proposal. His friend, Coderre, has come out against it. Remember when  I wrote that Rodriguez would have to show his Quebec nationalist credentials to be a credible leadership candidate?  Well, the time is now and so far Pablo is missing in action...the rubber hasn't hit the road.

Were Quebec to adopt its own constitution, it would be the second province to do so. British Columbia already has its own constitution.
