MONTREAL – The leaders of Quebec’s five main parties will make their last pitches to undecided voters over the weekend, with the election set for Monday.
The separatist Parti Québécois, which promised a referendum in 2029, has topped the polls throughout the campaign.
PQ leader Paul St-Pierre Plamondon was targeted by his rivals on Friday, who argued a referendum would cause political instability and harm Quebec’s economy.
But St-Pierre Plamondon said his detractors are making a last-ditch effort to win votes and urged Quebecers to give him a majority government.
The PQ, the Quebec Liberals, the Quebec Conservatives, Quebec solidaire and the Coalition Avenir Québec are all expected to win seats on Monday.
About a quarter of Quebec’s eligible voters already cast their ballot in advanced polls.
This report by The Canadian Press was first published Oct. 2, 2026.
