Editorial signature

Since converting to a not-for-profit structure in 2018 and discontinuing its print edition, La Presse has leaned on its tablet-first La Presse+ product and a Montreal-centred investigative bureau that drove the Charbonneau-era construction-corruption coverage. The masthead is reliably federalist and pro-bilingualism in its editorial stance, and columnists Patrick Lagacé and Yves Boisvert define a Québec centre-liberal voice that has clashed repeatedly with the Legault CAQ government over Bill 21 and language policy.
