MONTREAL (Reuters) - Coalition Avenir Quebec leader Francois Legault, the former airline executive turned politician who is projected to win re-election as premier of Quebec, Canada has a new goal after running what experts called a "divisive" campaign: being a unifier.

The self-made businessman and co-founder of Montreal-based carrier Air Transat is poised to lead his party to re-election with a majority, following a campaign dotted with controversy over immigration and identity in the mostly French-language province.
