Legault and his Coalition make history as supporters bask in victory`
QUEBEC — Addressing Quebec for the first time as premier-designate Monday night, Francois Legault touched on a theme he returned to repeatedly during the 39-day election campaign.
On the hustings he promised to make Quebec stronger and richer and to rekindle a sense of pride, and he had just been given a mandate to follow through.
“We will build a stronger Quebec — a prouder Quebec!” he shouted, his voice almost cracking.
Monday’s election was third time lucky for the Coalition leader as the party won 74 of the province’s 125 ridings.
