Why? NDP is set to hold most of their Francophone ridings and the LPC bombed in Repentigny even during the Chretien era.
I'm talking about Haute-Gaspésie—La Mitis—Matane—Matapédia. The Liberals performed reasonably well there last time.
That was because of Nancy Charest, a former Liberal MNA (who died in March), who had also done very well in 2008 (especially in her hometown of Matane, and the fairly anti-Bloc area around touristy Sainte-Anne-des-Monts). I would add that, to me, she did inexplicably well because I don't really get why a one-term MNA who won by a hair in 2003 would be so fetch. The redistributed riding, where the Liberals would have finished third and the NDP second within 8% of the Bloc, takes in some parts of Gaspésie—Îles-de-la-Madeleine where the Liberals have finished strong in a lot of recent elections, though.
