Alexandra Lavoie reported that Guillaume Lemay-Thivierge had publicly supported Éric Duhaime and the Quebec Conservative Party on the eve of the October 5 vote, citing "reliable sources." She placed this support in a campaign marked, according to her, by the positions of public figures: Olivier Primeau had supported the CAQ, Christian Bégin Quebec solidaire, and Paul Piché the Parti québécois. Marc Bellemare, Mario Pelchat, and Gilles Lehouillier were among other personalities who supported the conservatives, she added. Lavoie recalled that Lemay-Thivierge and Duhaime had met on the show Tout le monde en parle in April 2021, during a discussion about vaccination and the vaccine passport. She also recounted that in the summer of 2022, Duhaime had made a tandem jump at the Voltige Parachuting School, of which Lemay-Thivierge was a co-owner, in Notre-Dame-de-Lourdes, near Joliette. Duhaime had then said that the actor helped him overcome his fear, according to Lavoie. https://t.co/AbEjoWS14C #PolitiqueQc #Élections2023 #Québec (translated)
