MAXIME TOSSED OVERBOARD

Hebert, Toronto Star:  Whatever Bernier's intention was when he uploaded to his personal website the supply management chapter of a future book on his political vision, it also looked like a shot across the Conservative bow in the imminent Chicoutimi-Le Fjord byelection.
  A four-way split in the vote allowed the Liberals to narrowly win the seat from the NDP in 2015. But since then New Democrat and BQ fortunes have declined precipitously. In a one-on-one battle with the Liberals in Quebec, the Conservatives believe they can deprive Trudeau of gains in his home province next year and in the process deny him a second term in government.
  With less than a week to go to the byelection, a local poll published on Wednesday showed the Conservatives with a strong lead on the Liberals. Under that light, Bernier’s decision to once again highlight his dissent could only too easily be construed by many of his caucus colleagues as a deliberate act of sabotage.
