Radio said than a CROP-La Presse is saying Libs 31, PQ 30, CAQ 24.

Radio said it was a CAQ internal, published in the Presse, not a CROP-La Presse poll.

QS: 12 "targeted" of those 6 priority(winable)... we know some are Gouin, Saint-Jaques - Sainte-Marie... but Laurier-Dorion, Taschereau, Joliette, Sherbrooke were mentioned by Amir in the interview... Sherbrooke! really the Premiers seat, that seems a bit outside the box eh.

Also, some policy, platform ideas mentioned.

Yep, confirmed that Charest will dissolve on Wednesday. His own nomination meeting is Tuesday.

So i'm hearing about another party, been around since last year; UCQ, Union Citoyenne du Quebec... a leftwing federalist party (is the PLQ scared yet? lol). I've just noticed this on a Quebecois NPD friends facebook page. So far seem to be very Urban, very MTL focused

The fat doctor is running for the CAQ in Terrebonne.

Robert Poeti is running for the Liberals in Marguerite-Bourgeoys.

At some point we'll have to compile a list of star candidates/ridings to watch on E-Night. Tongue

... And the PQ have now made it official; they will fight/pester/antagonize the feds to muster support for sovereignty, then hold a referendum when they have "winning conditions" nothing changes eh.

http://www.theglobeandmail.com/news/politics/pq-reveals-referendum-strategy-as-election-looms/article4448101/

And with the former adequistes running for Charest, any doubt about how right-wing the PLQ has become is out the door (but really, he had to go after the CAQ, that bleeding from the right will hurt the PLQ worse then the PQ)

The odds of a referendum going beyond a fetish of the Toronto media claque is somewhere between zero and nil.

I doubt than Bonaventure could be described as a riding to watch.
It's quite safely Liberal, for me.

That's what happens when you post Eric Grenier (308.com) crap. Even if he's masquerading as a "journalist" for the G&M.

Well, he runs for PQ, so, they encourage him, considering their political position.

Well i actually hope he wins; and i need to give the PQ credit for the number of young MNAs they have (probably all flukes but still, i'm impressed)... Turcotte, Boucher, Trembley (not running again), Traversy... 07 Wawanaloth but lost in 08.

Plus, if elected he will be a huge contributor to the debate.
meh, Legault is just taking a Charest-Lite approach to the tuition issue. Not one of the parties (i might be wrong but) is actually looking at a new way of approaching the tuiition issue. meh

I hope this become more about the corruption then tuition

Why is the QC area so rather right-wing? 07 a large number of seats went ADQ, now its CAQ who is gaining traction? most prov. capitals tend to have a centre-left tilt to them. Interesting, anyone know?

Quebec City was also the federal Tories' mini-fortress until Orange Crush. A relatively small city, wealthy and fiscally conservative. Somewhat snobbish too. They see themselves as aristocrats to Montreal's bourgeoisie.
