Éric Duhaime (born April 15, 1969) is a Canadian conservative columnist, radio host, and politician serving as leader of the Conservative Party of Quebec since April 17, 2021.[1][2][3][4] He writes for the Journal de Montréal and the National Post[5] and is also a blogger. He participated in various blogs such as Les analystes [6] and also ran a blog on the pages of Journal de Québec (called En droite ligne).[7] He hosted Le retour d'Éric Duhaime on FM93 in Quebec City. He also worked as part of public affairs programs broadcast on V, Tele-Quebec and 98,5 FM.

In 2010, Éric Duhaime co-founded the Réseau Liberté-Québec and the page Quebec fier (RLQ) along with Joanne Marcotte, Roy Eappen, Gérard Laliberté, Ian Sénéchal and Guillaume Leduc. The RLQ is a movement inspired by advocating a revival of conservatism and right-wing nationalism in Quebec.[8]

Duhaime came out as gay in his 2017 book La fin de l'homosexualité et le dernier gay.[9] That same year he allegedly helped fellow Rebel Media contributor Jack Posobiec translate the leaked emails from the Emmanuel Macron presidential campaign.[10]

Early life and education[]

Born on April 15, 1969 in Montreal, Duhaime holds a Bachelor of Arts in political science from the Université de Montréal and a Master's degree from École nationale d'administration publique (ÉNAP).[11]

Political career[]

Duhaime spent more than a decade as a political advisor for different leaders in Ottawa and Quebec City. He was an advisor for Stockwell Day (during the days of the Canadian Alliance), Mario Dumont from 2003 to 2008 when Dumont was leader of the Action démocratique du Québec and Gilles Duceppe of the Bloc Québécois.[12] He made his first run for office in 2003, when he ran for the ADQ in Deux-Montagnes, in which he placed third. He also worked for the Montreal Economic Institute, a free market think tank.[13] On November 22, 2020, Duhaime announced he would be running in the Conservative Party of Quebec leadership election to succeed Adrien D. Pouliot.[14][15][16] He won the election with just under 96% of the vote.[17]
