Honoré-Mercier, sfida nella roccaforte liberale

TORONTO – Il distretto elettorale di Honoré-Mercier in Quebec sembra pronto per un’altra vittoria liberale. Precedentemente noto come Anjou-Rivière-des-Prairies, si trova ad est delle circoscrizioni di Bourassa e Saint-Léonard – Saint-Michel e comprende parti della città di Montréal. Per la sesta volta, Pablo Rodriguez, attuale deputato, sta cercando la rielezione per i liberali. Ha rappresentato il collegio elettorale dal 2004, con l’eccezione tra il 2011 e il 2015 quando l’”onda arancione” ha premiato Paulina Ayala per l’NDP e ha servito solo un mandato… Read More in Corriere Canadese >>> 

Bernier, la grande incognita di queste elezioni

TORONTO – Un’incognita, indecifrabile e imprevedibile, pesa su queste elezioni federali.

These first two days, then – tomorrow and Friday, then all at home again for the weekend – will be nothing more than a kind of “rehearsal” of what will happen during the school year. Impossible to predict, however, what will happen.  Continue reading→

Bernier, the great unknown of these elections

TORONTO – An unknown, indecipherable, and unpredictable factor on this federal election. Twelve days before the polls, with polls confirming the Conservative party’s lead over Justin Trudeau’s Liberals, the presence of the People’s Party threatens to upset the balance and balance of power between the political forces running for the September 20 vote. For now we do not talk about it, or rather we talk about it little. The movement founded and led by Maxime Bernier at the baptism of fire in the 2019 elections did not do very well: just 294 thousand votes throughout the country, equal to 1.6 percent, no elected deputies and the same leader beaten in his electoral district of Beauce by former party comrade Richard Lehoux.
