It's on...

The Qubecois Premier has just called an election and that means the long running debate on tuition fees should be decided upon once and for all.  The election is due on 4th September which is apparently unusual as they don't usually campaign during the summer.

Current Premier Jean Charest from the Quebec Liberal Party

The current government will be going for a fourth term which would be a massive task in itself.  It appears that there are some very clear points of differentiation between the major parties and they include tuition fees, a possible sovereignty referendum and the corruption scandals that have surrounded the current government.

I'm only scratching the surface of the political intricacies here but I'm looking forward to finding out more as the election campaigns unfold...
