Ahead of an election, Christine Fréchette and Éric Girard hold a press conference to denounce the Parti Québécois program. They claim that a commitment to hold a referendum in 2029 would create immediate instability, hindering investment and increasing borrowing costs. The Finance Minister compares this risk to Brexit and argues that a break with Canada would impoverish Quebec. Christine Fréchette also rejects Éric Duhaime's use of artificial intelligence to write his book, calling it a deception. She defends the CAQ's economic record while admitting investment errors in companies such as Northvolt. The speakers call on voters to choose economic stability this coming Monday.

The video creator denounces the increase in Canada's national debt, which he claims has doubled in ten years to reach 1.26 trillion dollars. He asserts that the government has grown too large since 2020, with 300,000 more bureaucrats than the OECD average. According to him, "irresponsible" spending and monetary creation have generated inflation and reduced individual liberties. He argues that annual interest payments, amounting to 55 billion dollars, now exceed federal health transfers to provinces. Finally, he claims that Canada is experiencing "economic degrowth" and ranks among the least prosperous of 38 advanced nations.
