As election day approaches, Bloc Québécois Leader Yves-François Blanchet is gaining traction in the polls, despite a previous 20-point deficit against the Liberals. He recently sported a Montreal Canadiens jersey, symbolizing a compromise in his relationship with federal politics, and expressed optimism about collaborating with Liberal leader Mark Carney, having exchanged phone numbers post-debate. With traditional nationalist voters wavering towards federalist parties due to external pressures, Blanchet aims to rally support for a strong Bloc presence in Ottawa, as polls indicate a potential gain in seats.
