Quebec election: Party leaders begin final weekend of the campaign

Oct 1, 2022 | 5:02 AM

MONTREAL — As the Quebec election campaign enters its final weekend the main party leaders are fanning out across the province.

Coalition Avenir Québec Leader François Legault is to have breakfast with supporters in Chibougamau and then travel around 600 kilometres south to Mont-Laurier in the province’s Laurentians, where he will meet with supporters in the evening. 

Liberal Leader Dominique Anglade will be campaigning in three ridings where her party is polling in third place.

Today, she’s headed to the Gaspé Peninsula and will also visit the Îles-de-la-Madeleine — which her party lost by 15 votes in 2018. A trip to Kuujjuaq, the largest village in Quebec’s northern Nunavik region, is scheduled for tomorrow. 

Québec solidaire spokesman Gabriel Nadeau-Dubois will be in Montreal and plans to campaign in three ridings that were won by the Liberals in the last election, including Anglade’s riding of St-Henri—Ste-Anne.
