Vote 2015 – Terrebonne
CPAC’s Philippe Murat visits the Quebec riding of Terrebonne ahead of the federal election taking place on October 19, 2015. Comprised mostly of the municipality of Terrebonne in Montreal’s western suburbs, this riding has not elected a Conservative candidate since 1988. Represented by the Bloc Québécois in the past, the riding turned NDP in 2011 when it elected the incumbent Charmaine Borg. It is worth mentioning that the Conservative Party had its best showing here in 2006 with a 20% vote share. This program features interviews with the different candidates running for this seat. This race pits the NDP candidate Charmaine Borg, who is seeking a second term, against the following candidates : the Conservatve Party’s Michel Surprenant, who established Murdered or Missing Persons' Families' Association in 2004 with four other fathers including Senator Pierre-Hugues Boisvenu; the Liberal Party’s Michèle Audette, former president of the Native Women’s Association of Canada; The Bloc Quebecois’s Michel Boudrias, a former infantry officer with the Royal 22e Régiment; and the Strength in Democracy party’s Louis Clément Sénat, a Haitian-Canadian financial advisor.
