Deciding Votes 2019 – Courting NDP Ridings in Quebec

Quebec is a crucial battleground in this federal election. The general narrative has been that the New Democratic Party (NDP) stands to lose many – or even all – of its Quebec seats, with the Liberals, potentially seeing gains that could offset at least some of the losses they are expected to have elsewhere in the country. That perspective has shifted somewhat over the past few days with the Bloc Québécois (BQ) surging and the NDP experiencing a boost in polls across the country after Jagmeet Singh’s strong debate performances.
