MONTREAL—Francois Legault hopes that the key to a Coalition Avenir Quebec victory on Tuesday is by connecting with voters in the suburbs north of Montreal.

He took to the phones on Monday to sway voters while stumping in the Blainville riding. The 450 region, a collection of vote-rich suburbs ringing Montreal, could see several ridings switch between the Parti Quebecois, Liberals and CAQ.

“We are stuck with corruption, we are stuck with problems in health, in education, I think...” Legault said, speaking into a phone as he tried to convince a Parti Quebecois voter to switch sides. “Oh! It hung up. We probably shouldn’t call her back.”

At a CAQ campaign stop in Ste-Therese, volunteers and organizers worked hard to sway the high number of undecided voters in this campaign.

Peter Massarelli, a long-time Liberal, says he has made up his mind and hopes other Anglos agree with him.

“I hope they believe what he says about ‘No Referendum,’ for 10 years being serious, about not being a federalist and not being a separatist,” said Massarelli.

Legault has been courting the Anglophone vote during the campaign but knows many are still leery of him.

“Some of them will test us. They’ll see if in the next government for four years, if we respect our promises regarding the referendum, but some of them they already agree,” said Legault.

Legault ended his campaign the way he began—talking corruption. His last pitch to voters was made against the backdrop of Mascouche's town hall where the mayor is facing charges. To his side was star candidate Jacques Duchesneau, Quebec’s former corruption fighter.

The theme of corruption resonated at a fast food restaurant in St-Jerome, where Duchesneau is running to be Legault’s lieutenant in the National Assembly.

“A lot of friends of the Liberals profited from their time in power. Enough is enough,” said one man, who called Legault Quebec’s next premier.

Ordering poutine for perhaps the last time in the campaign, Legault said it was important to reach the average family. Even some long-time PQ supporters in the 450 region like Legault's idea of no referendum.

“It’s like an old record that we keep playing,” said the St-Jerome man.

In St-Eustache, the campaign got the same kind of response from one of Legault's former employees from his days as the founder of Air Transat.

“That’s passed us now. It’s time to turn the page on referendum talk,” said the man, wearing an old Air Transat baseball cap.

Legault promises that come what may tomorrow night, he's staying in politics.

“The motivation is really about my two children. I think that right now I’m not proud of what we're leaving to them,” said Legault.

The question is whether he'll be working from inside or outside of the National Assembly.
