Premier François Legault knows populism — or at least, he did; or at least, he seemed to. He and his Coalition Avenir Québec party have successfully reoriented Quebec politics from a battle between separatists and federalists to a battle between tolerance for linguistic, religious and ethnic minorities, and the lack thereof. It has been remarkably successful: The Parti Québécois might well win the next election, and might well launch a third referendum. But even if it did, there’s no chance the Yes side would carry the day.
