| This is a soft nationalist riding in the Eastern Townships. The Tories have targeted this riding and will run a converted Bloc Member who is popular in this area. The Bloc only carried this riding by 2000 votes last time, so look for a Tory upset. |

| Jean Landry is another Tory star candidate, who should win this riding. A former Bloc MP who renounced separation while he was still with the Bloc, Landry should mke the difference here. |

| It looks a little soft, but the low '97 BQ result may have come in part from Landry's independent run that year. And face it; Landry may do above average for PC in Quebec, but if he *really* wanted to win, he should have gone Liberal... |

| I think that the Bloc are unlikely to lose this riding. They had an eight per cent/three thousand vote margin last time, and this area is held provincially by the PQ with a ten per cent margin. The riding also voted yes in 1995, albeit narrowly. Star candidate or no star candidate, the PCs are likely to lose votes: their standing in the polls is dismal and they no longer have Jean Charest at the helm. Given the rural and soft nationalist nature of the riding, I expect disaffected PC voters will vote Bloc, or stay home rather than vote Liberal, and so I do not think the Bloc is in trouble here. That said, I do not live in the riding or visit it regularly, so I could be wrong. |
