The leaders (or in the case of Québec solidaire, the co-spokesperson) of Quebec's five leading political parties are facing off once again, this time on Radio-Canada. Also making a return to the debate stage is François Legault's expressive visage.

The premier earned criticism after the TVA debate on September 15 for the grimaces he shot at his opponents while listening to their responses. His pursed lips and critical glance became easy meme fodder and the subject of social media chatter.

The "duck face" has made a return in Radio-Canada's Montreal headquarters. Twitternauts have noticed.
