It would seem Harper is content to play footsie again with a very regressive party now in distant last place in Quebec
Mr. Dumont's right-hand man in the National Assembly, MNA and House Leader Sébastien Proulx, is scheduled to announce on Wednesday that he is behind the Conservative candidate in his provincial riding of Trois-Rivières.....There were a number of prominent ADQ members in Saint-Eustache when Mr. Harper announced that the city's mayor and long-time ADQ supporter, Claude Carignan, was running for the party in that riding on Oct. 14.

I note there is no mention of provincial Liberal involvement helping Conservatives, I wonder what Charest thinks of all this? Why is Harper associating with a party who will likely be trounced by Charest in the next Quebec election?
Given that the ADQ numbers are in the low teens in Quebec in the last few polls I've seen, I don't see the harm in the Liberals making more of the Harper-ADQ association. After all, the ADQ's stands on immigration and women are pretty appalling and Harper seems to have no problems working closely with them nonetheless.
We'll see what the Liberals do, but for now, if Harper hasn't realized Dumont and his party's ship has sailed yet in Quebec that's fine by me.
