Quebec campaign enters final day

Charest took a political slapshot on Sunday while campaigning in the province’s capital region.

Recent polls have given the PQ the nod in they suggest is a tight three-way race with Charest’s Liberal party and the upstart Coalition for Quebec’s Future.

PQ leader Pauline Marois has spent her last weekend of the campaign pleading for voters to give her a majority mandate.
