On December 1, Ms. Anglade’s seven years of political involvement will be over, when she’ll also step down as deputy.

During the press briefing, the now former liberal leader said to have started a personal reflection following the disappointing results of the last elections.

Why

“The demographic, cultural, socio-economic and ecological issues are too important for the official opposition to tear itself apart,” Anglade told the media. “The QLP must operate a renewal of its political offer, but also of its way of doing politics. We don’t have the luxury of being undermined by internal intrigues that Quebecois have no use for. »

In the last provincial elections, the QLP won the worst universal suffrage in its history, with 14.37 per cent of the vote, being overtaken by Québec Solidaire (QS) and the Parti Québécois (PQ).

A few weeks ago, Anglade expelled deputy Marie-Claude Nichols, elected within the party since 2014, in the wake of the unveiling of her shadow cabinet. That reaction, which several analysts are describing as extreme, is one of the potential reasons behind Anglade’s decision.

Political Life

Anglade made her political debut in 2012, as president of the Coalition avenir Québec (CAQ).

In 2015, she joined the QLP, and was elected as deputy for Saint-Henri–Sainte-Anne on Nov. 9 of the same year.

In January 2016, she was given the functions of Minister of Economy, Science and Innovation, and Minister responsible for the Digital Strategy under Philippe Couillard’s government.

She thus became the first person of Haitian origin to hold a ministerial position in Canada.

On May 11, 2020, Anglade became the first woman to head the QLP, the dominating party of Quebec’s political sphere for 150 years.

This 12-minute production featuring two women and a man was put online in June 2021 on Pornhub’s website, while the 22-year-old aspiring deputy was campaigning at the municipal level for Parti Laval – Team Michel Trottier, as candidate in Laval-des-Rapides’s riding.

Reached by phone, Fiola, shaken, first denied the facts, and claimed not to have given her approval for the said video, before falling back on her lawyer. Still, the photos are unequivocal. Although the woman wears a prom mask in the photos and in the video of the XXX site, it’s tattoos that will have betrayed her.

Political background

Fiola is not new in politics, participating in her third electoral campaign. She ran for municipal elections in 2017 and 2021.

At the age of 16, she joined the PQ. She will make a slight detour to the Coalition avenir Québec (CAQ) before returning with the party she started with.

Former leader of Parti Laval, Michel Trottier, now a Liberal candidate in Sainte-Rose, is literally flabbergasted.

“Never I would have thought that,” he said. “We always checked the candidates who presented themselves for us. Fiola was a potentially winning candidate for us. She lost the election by just 62 votes.”

And if he had known at the time, would he have made her one of his candidates?

“No way,” Trottier assured. “Obviously, this was not the kind of candidate we were looking for to represent the citizens of Laval.”

Contacted twice, the press spokesperson of the PQ leader, Paul St-Pierre Plamondon, had to come back to us. At the time of writing this article, the Courrier Laval News has still not heard back from him on it.
