Legault Steps Down: Quebec’s Breaking Point?

,

Quebec’s premier François Legault says he’s stepping down — and it raises the bigger question: what happens to Quebec next? Jim sits down with Paul Micucci to unpack the political shockwave, the policy failures, and why Quebec could be heading into a volatile new era.

In this episode, we cover:
• Why Legault’s leadership style worked pre-COVID — and collapsed post-COVID
• The breaking points: healthcare access, crumbling infrastructure, and rising deficits
• How scandals and cost overruns reshaped public trust in Quebec’s government
• The return of separatism talk — and what a referendum timeline could look like
• What the next premier inherits (and why few people may even want the job)

This is more than a political story — it’s a warning about leadership, governance, and what happens when basic services fail the people.
