MONTREAL — The leaders of Quebec’s five main parties will make their last pitches to undecided voters over the weekend, with the election set for Monday.
The separatist Parti Québécois, which promised a referendum in 2029, has topped the polls throughout the campaign.
PQ leader Paul St-Pierre Plamondon was targeted by his rivals on Friday, who argued a referendum would cause political instability and harm Quebec’s economy.
But St-Pierre Plamondon said his detractors are making a last-ditch effort to win votes and urged Quebecers to give him a majority government.
