Orford

Charles Milliard tried to shore up votes in the Eastern Townships.

His own riding of Orford is at stake.

Ruba Ghazal campaigned in Maurice Richard.

Again, uh, at this stage of the campaign, this is when confident campaigns, they go out, and they try and take seats from places that maybe they won't win.

So where are you calling us in from today?

Right now, I'm in Orford, which is a part of Quebec called the Eastern Township.

It's about an hour and a half from Montreal.

And it's, I think, the best place to live in Quebec.

Right now, we do services in all the eastern township, which is the region next to Maine.

And we do business as well in Montreal.

So the main office is in Orford, in the eastern township.

And we also have a tiny office in Montreal.

Here in Richemont.

At a stop in the riding of Orford last week, where he's running as a candidate, Liberal leader Charles Milliard thanked other Liberal candidates for showing up to support him.

And then he joked that they should rush back to their own ridings as soon as possible.

It gives you a sense of just how tight some of these races might be.

So leader Charmelian, the liberal leader, he was starting to find his footing after the debates and he was seen as doing better.

And the party got a bit of a bump and even Charmelian in some polling got a bit of a bump.

And you would think running in Orford, in the eastern townships, traditional liberal territory, there are English speaking voters that would make it easier.

easier for him.

If there's a minority government, there might be an election within the next couple of years.

But the big question now is, will he win his seat? Because apparently he may be trailing in Orford.

But, you know, there's an expression in Quebec, avez-vous gagné vos élections? And I think in this case, it's quite possible that the PQ are going to get over, they're going to get their majority by getting seats from the Québec Solidaire, who's going to probably be limited to maybe one or two, if that.

And their voters will move.

And as I said, I'm, you know, I'm only amending my, my prediction for the, for the election.

I, I know I said that he'll probably wind up as, uh, as, uh, leader of the second opposition party in the National Assembly, but I'll amend it to say that's if he wins his seat in Orford.

So a couple of things.

Uh, I mean, the, the one thing, you know, you, we always point to the fact, no matter where the Liberals are, be it second or third, depending on where the...
