www.cbc.caHere is the latest I can share based on current public reporting.
- François Legault has recently been in the news regarding his tenure as Quebec premier and potential changes in leadership within his party. Several outlets discussed his political standing ahead of the next Quebec election, including coverage of a leadership transition within his party and questions about CAQ’s electoral prospects.[1][2]
- In January 2026, multiple reports confirmed Legault announced his resignation as premier, with plans to stay on until a new CAQ leader is chosen ahead of the October 2026 provincial election; this marks a significant shift after eight years in power.[2][3][7][8]
- Coverage through September 2025 highlighted a tough political moment for Legault, including a defiant stance at a CAQ convention and a pledge of “shock” measures to revive support, as poll data suggested declining popularity for both Legault and his party.[4][1]
If you’d like, I can pull the most recent articles from major outlets and summarize any developments since January 2026, or provide a brief timeline of Legault’s leadership and the CAQ’s leadership transition. Please note I can cite specific sources if you want precise links.
