MONTREAL — Advanced voting kicked off on Friday in Montreal’s LaSalle-Émard-Verdun riding, and party leaders are helping get out the vote as the federal byelection on Sept. 16. draws nearer.
“Among the three main parties, we have the biggest army of volunteers. There are hundreds of them,” said the 43-year-old as he went door-to-door with NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh. “I was talking to my students about the byelections, so I took off running when I saw you pass by the window,” Beauregard said, adding that a fellow teacher was watching her students.
Standing outside an advanced polling station, a man named George, who described himself as a “senior citizen looking for housing,” declined to say who he voted for.However, Paola Castro, who also voted early, was not shy about revealing who got her vote. “My candidacy is based on the conviction that I can win, and I will win,” said Sauvé, who is running for the Bloc Québécois.“In Ville-Émard, they talk to me a lot about public safety, while in Verdun, they're going to talk to me about the environment, climate change housing because the housing crisis is particularly acute there.”
