Quebec election: Legault heads to CAQ stronghold as Anglade visits Laval

Sep 11, 2022 | 1:01 AM

MONTREAL — Coalition Avenir Québec Leader François Legault will be campaigning in the Centre-du-Québec region one day after his party released its costed platform.

The incumbent premier is scheduled to hold a rally with supporters in the afternoon in the Drummond–Bois-Francs riding, where his party received more than 50 per cent of the vote in 2018.

Liberal Leader Dominique Anglade is scheduled to hold a news conference at the Montmorency Métro station in Laval, Montreal’s largest suburb, before heading to a block party. 

The visit to Laval, once a Liberal stronghold, comes one day after a Leger poll suggested the party is at risk of losing seats in the city, as well as in Montreal, to the CAQ and Québec solidaire.

Québec solidaire spokesman Gabriel Nadeau-Dubois will be in Saguenay, Que., 200 kilometres north of Quebec City, to announce his key platform plank for rural areas in the province.
