BROSSARD - The riding of Brossard-La Prairie has in recent years been a tight race between the Liberals and the Bloc Quebecois, and this election appears to be no exception.
Bloc candidate Marcel Lussier is shaking hands and looking for votes.
"I worked very hard travelling all over the four cities of my riding," he told CTV Montreal.
Meanwhile, his main rival Liberal incumbent Alexandra Mendes is determined to stay exactly where she is.
"A lot of people have been paying attention to what I've been doing the past two and a half years as an MP," she said.
There's history here.
In 2008, Mendez called for a recount when Lussier took the win in an incredibly close race.
She was right, in the end taking the riding by a mere 69 votes.
"For sure everybody who's losing by such a small number are disappointed," she said.
"I hope neither Mr. Lussier or I have to go through those 10 days of anxiety."
While both candidates have strong support, there are those in the South Shore riding who aren't interested in either.
"I just go whoever is with Stephen Harper," said one local resident. "For Jack Layton," said another.
And of course, there are always those who just aren't sure.
"To be honest, I haven't followed it very closely," said one resident.
A key issue here is the Champlain bridge: when will it get replaced, when the work begin, and how will it be funded.
Candidates say it's a top priority - to them and to the voters.
According to Mendes, the Bloc doesn't have the power to get the bridge replaced.
"They'll never be government," she said, "Mr. Duceppe is the first to acknowledge he'll never be prime minister."
That isn't phasing Marcel Lussier, which means the makings for another good race in Brossard-La Prairie.
