A Rallying Cry for Change

OTTAWA—As Canada gears up for the election, Liberal Leader Mark Carney has been tactful in his approach, but his foreign affairs minister, Melanie Joly, has broken the silence, declaring the possibility of a **majority government** within reach.

Making a Case for Quebec's Support

At a lively rally in Laval, Joly passionately articulated the Liberal Party’s vision, emphasizing their need for a strong mandate. "We know we're able to achieve a majority government because Quebecers will step up! We need a powerful mandate to negotiate effectively with U.S. President Trump and to strengthen our economy as the best in the G7," she stated in French, rallying the crowd’s enthusiasm.

The Hard Work is Paying Off

Acknowledging the tireless efforts of supporters hitting the pavement and connecting with voters, Joly urged her audience—"Let’s secure ourselves a Liberal majority!"—a statement that undoubtedly resonated with the attendees.

Cautious Optimism from Other Party Members

While Joly's confidence shone through, other speakers like Marjorie Michel, former PM Justin Trudeau’s deputy chief of staff, offered a tempered yet optimistic perspective. "We are not arrogant; we work hard. We will fight and win strong for Canada," she reassured the crowd, echoing the party's commitment.

Hockey and Politics: A Playoff Spirit

As the rally heated up, Carney took the stage wearing a Montreal Canadiens jersey, humorously likening the campaign's last days to the nail-biting moments of a Stanley Cup playoff game. "This is the time to give everything—knock on every door, make those calls, and vote Liberal!" he charged, electrifying the atmosphere.

Polls Favoring the Liberals: A Tipping Point?

Current polls suggest the Liberals hold a slim lead over the Conservatives nationally, with more pronounced advantages in Atlantic Canada, Ontario, and Quebec. Observers caution—**it’s Quebec's support that could tip the balance between a minority and a majority government.** The stakes are high, and every vote counts!

As election day approaches, the pressure mounts, and with bold declarations like Joly’s, the Liberal Party is pushing hard for a decisive victory.
