“Each vote can make a difference,” pleaded Mr. Nadeau-Dubois during a press conference in Molson Park, in Montreal, in the heart of the riding of Gouin. He was accompanied for the occasion by his co-spokesperson, the outgoing MP and candidate for the riding of Sainte-Marie–Saint-Jacques, Manon Massé.
People of my generation, I ask you only one thing. You may not all agree with the entire Québec solidaire project, but I know that you have the future of your children, your grandchildren and their children at heart. […] Trust us. Trust our consistency, trust our constancy.

Mr. Nadeau-Dubois and Mr.me Massé have once again insisted on their party’s environmental commitments, while QS has been arguing for weeks that the October 3 elections are those of the “last chance” for the climate
“We are already experiencing climate change, but it’s not too late to avoid running into a wall,” said Mr. Nadeau-Dubois.
“Since the start of the campaign, you have been told that everything is decided in advance. Everything is already decided. It’s wrong. More than ever, this is false. tomorrow […] your vote can make a difference,” he added.
Nadeau-Dubois accuses Legault of hurting Quebecers
For his last day of campaign, when Quebecers will go to the polls on Monday, Gabriel Nadeau-Dubois has chosen to denounce once again the remarks made throughout the campaign by his CAQ opponent, François Legault, about the immigration.
“François Legault hurt Quebec by talking about immigrants like that. This morning, I have a message for all Quebecers who have been injured by François Legault. I will fight for you. No matter the outcome of the election tomorrow, I will not let you go,” he said.
The solidarity co-spokesperson traveled this weekend to different ridings in Montreal, where the left-wing party believes it can win seats from the Liberals of Dominique Anglade. Mr. Nadeau-Dubois was supported on Sunday by the singer-songwriter Émile Bilodeau, who is frequently involved in Québec solidaire, to distribute flyers in the riding of Verdun.
During this time, the Liberal leader ended her electoral tour by visiting eastern and northern Quebec.
The parliamentary leader in solidarity also returned to his day on Saturday, when several citizens challenged him to denounce the remarks of François Legault and his Minister of Immigration, Jean Boulet, on immigration.
When the outgoing Prime Minister makes comments like that, when he decides to hurt Quebeckers, it hurts people in their hearts and in their sense of belonging to Quebec. The message it sends is that some people are less Quebecois than others.

“Whether it’s a strategy or awkwardness, the testimonies I receive when I walk the streets are people who tell me: ‘it hurts me.’ I don’t think a prime minister should hurt some Quebecers. It should give itself the mission, the responsibility, regardless of our positions on immigration, to open our arms and say that everyone is a Quebecer,” concluded Mr. Nadeau-Dubois.
