In Quebec, post-tropical storm Fiona is expected to hit the Iles-de-la-Madeleine, Gaspe and the province’s Lower North Shore, with the brunt of the impact expected from Saturday to Sunday morning.
Legault says given the circumstances, he cancelled all planned activities for today and suspended the campaign until further notice.Thousands lose power as Fiona nears Atlantic Canada, officials warn of ‘historic storm’For their part, Quebec solidaire co-spokesperson Gabriel Nadeau-Dubois said a press conference in Montreal today had been cancelled and the party would reassess as the situation evolves.
Liberal Leader Dominique Anglade said she was closely monitoring the situation in the affected regions but did not say whether she would suspend activities.
