Quebec Immigration Minister Christine Fréchette closed her campaign in Trois-Rivières as polls showed the CAQ falling to fourth place in provincial voting intentions. Reports describe her as impatient and worried about the future of the centre-right third way, mobilizing activists on the final day. Pundits are dissecting the party's crushing defeat, with Léger's polling accuracy praised and commentators debating whether the CAQ can survive being, as one headline put it, wiped off the map.

Quebec minister Bernard Drainville is making a direct appeal to voters in Lévis, arguing the riding could secure the survival of the CAQ as a third political force. Coverage notes the CAQ has been wiped out in the Chaudière-Appalaches region, while commentators debate whether Drainville could hold the balance of power alone and how his record compares to colleague Christine Fréchette's.
- 3Parti Québécois wins minority government as CAQ collapses●Wow! The CAQ wiped off the map in Québec as the Parti Québécois wins a minority with less than 30% of the popular vote.
Québec's provincial election produced a political shake-up: the Coalition Avenir Québec was virtually eliminated, while the Parti Québécois formed a minority government with under 30% of the popular vote. The Québec Liberal Party emerged as the official opposition, the Conservatives won their largest caucus in a century, and Québec Solidaire held a significant presence. Commenters note the fragmented result could make governing difficult.

Quebec's ruling CAQ party has been shut out of seats entirely in the province's election, a result commentators say news coverage has underplayed. Observers argue the scale of the defeat is the real story, and some are framing it as a warning to US voters heading into November: incumbent parties can pay a heavy price when voters grow frustrated.
- 6Separatists Poised to Win Quebec Election, but Independence Support Fades▼Separatists Are Poised to Win Quebec’s Election. Independence Is Still a Hard Sell.
Quebec's separatist Parti Québécois is positioned to win the provincial election, yet polling and reporting indicate that a majority of Quebecers remain reluctant to pursue independence from Canada. Analysts say the party's likely victory reflects dissatisfaction with the governing Quebec Liberal Party and the governing CAQ, rather than renewed appetite for sovereignty. The result would return separatists to power decades after the 1995 independence referendum came within a narrow margin of succeeding.

A new study published in Current Biology reports that the macaque inferior temporal cortex encodes object position in perceptually aligned coordinates, while current artificial vision networks do not. The finding suggests a fundamental gap between primate visual processing and modern computer vision models, and is drawing attention among neuroscience and AI researchers interested in how biological and artificial perception differ.
