MONTREAL—Last March, Quebec Premier Francois Legault made a mocking remark in the legislature that the Liberals are still talking about. Legault’s Coalition has its support base outside Montreal, and it isn’t afraid of making policy decisions it knows are going to be massively unpopular with English speakers. “It’s frustrating, because it’s not the tone you want to hear from the premier,” Kelley said of Legault’s March comments. “When you look at Liberal support, you would be hard-pressed not to recognize that the Liberal party has been relegated to the island of Montreal,” Skeete said. “The initial indications from the (Coalition) were that they were going to be quite open,” Chambers said in a recent interview.
