Born in 1957 on the western tip of the island of Montreal, Francois Legault started his career as a chartered accountant. He co-founded Air Transat in 1986 where he remained CEO until 1997. According to tax documents filed in September, Legault is worth $9.86 million.

Quebec premier-designate François Legault says he is prepared to invoke the notwithstanding clause to ensure public officials in positions of authority do not wear religious symbols.

While Legault may claim that he's not a social conservative, his win is a sad testament to the fact that tribalism, fear mongering, and xenophobia were powerful motivators for a lot of people.

A leading contender in Quebec's election campaign has come under fire from dozens of scientists for openly musing about ending a province-wide ban on shale fracking for oil and gas.

Canada's cities believe they will finally land easier and direct access to federal dollars in next year's budget, or at least wrest a platform pledge from parties in the 2019 election.

Quebec's political party leaders set their political differences aside on Saturday, September 22, 2018, as they headed to Gatineau, Que., to survey the damage from a tornado that ripped through homes and sent several people to hospital on Friday, September 21, 2018, night.

At a downtown Montreal hotel last week, Quebec solidaire co-spokesperson Manon Masse looked out at members of the city's business community and calmly declared she wanted a revolution.

Coalition Avenir Québec Leader François Legault took the Couillard Liberals to task Thursday after a leaked report showed a $4-billion Green Fund aimed at reducing greenhouse-gas emissions has been mismanaged and failed to meet targets.
