Quebec candidates have less than a week left to campaign before election day
Quebec election race tightens as parties fight for final votes amid U.S. interference claims See how the last days could shape Oct. 5 and what the controversy means for voters
Election day in Quebec is approaching, leaving candidates with six days to make their final case to voters before the Oct. 5 vote.
Advance polling ended Monday evening, and the campaign’s final stretch has been overshadowed by renewed discussion of possible U.S. interference.
The controversy centers on comments from Coalition Avenir Québec Leader Christine Fréchette, who suggested American officials could try to help the sovereigntist Parti Québécois in an effort to weaken Canada. Rivals criticized the claim, and Fréchette later said members of her own party were responsible for pushing journalists toward the story.
