Carney is widely expected to clinch the majority, since the two Toronto ridings are considered safe for the Liberals.

........

The Montreal suburb of Terrebonne was a knock-down, drag-out fight between the Bloc Québécois and the governing party. That riding saw nearly 20-per-cent voter turnout in the advance polls.

Liberal MP Kody Blois told reporters today that the party is “competitive” and “throwing everything we have” at the riding.

Liberals dispatched top cabinet ministers, including virtually all the Quebec ministers along with Dominic LeBlanc and even Gregor Robertson from faraway Vancouver, plus the Prime Minister himself, to stump for their candidate, Tatiana Auguste.
