It’s countdown for the two debates, Ontario will be decisive

TORONTO – It’s countdown to the two televised debates between the leaders of federal parties. A double appointment, that of tomorrow evening in French and on Friday in English, considered as the real key moment of the electoral campaign in view of the appointment at the polls on September 20th. The prime minister candidates approach the two debates with different moods and objectives, based on what happened in the three weeks of the electoral campaign and, above all, taking into account the polls that over the last month have recorded a profound change in the balance of power between the parties in the race.

Election Campaigning: things could get worse before they get better

Quebec, campo di battaglia tra partiti politici

TORONTO – Simile alla situazione in Ontario, i distretti chiave nella provincia del Quebec si preannunciano come un campo di battaglia tra i partiti politici. La differenza nella provincia francofona è il Bloc Québécois (BQ), un partito politico dedicato alla promozione della sovranità del Quebec. Dopo lo scioglimento del Parlamento, i liberali detenevano 35 seggi in Quebec, rispetto ai 32 del BQ. Giorni dopo il primo dibattito in lingua francese e in vista dei dibattiti di questa settimana sia in francese che in inglese, sembra che un’altra vittoria per i liberali potrebbe essere assicurata nel distretto elettorale di Alfred-Pellan… Read More in Corriere Canadese >>>
