   And I think most Canadians have learned a lesson from this election   
   campaign:   
   " If the Charter of Values doesn't scare away the separatists and   
   sovereigntists, try using the word Referendum ".   
      
   Now, can we all just relax a bit?  As long as we have the word   
   'Referendum' working for the majority of Canada, we can consider the   
   likes of Pierre Karl Péladeau just a minor distraction.

   At the beginning of the election, polls showed Pauline Marois having a   
   lead over Couillard and Legault, with Marois placing at 37% support   
   compared to a 34% support for Philippe Couillard. Contrarily, Marois   
   also was much more favourable amongst French Quebecers; she held a lead   
   of almost 20%.

   Quebec Liberals hold lead, PQ trails ahead of vote   
      
      
   The Quebec Liberals are maintaining their lead in the polls heading into   
   Monday’s provincial election.   
      
   A new Leger Marketing poll released Saturday pegged the Liberals at 38   
   per cent, compared to 29 per cent for the Parti Quebecois, 23 per cent   
   for the Coalition Avenir Quebec (CAQ), and nine per cent for Quebec   
   solidaire.   
      
   The survey of 1,220 Quebecers was conducted by Leger, for Le Journal de   
   Montreal, and is considered accurate within 3.2 percentage points, 19   
   times out of 20.

   Despite trailing the Liberals, PQ leader Pauline Marois said during a   
   campaign stop on Saturday that "everything is possible."   
      
   “The game is not finished and I’m sure that on Monday evening, we will   
   form the next government,” she told a scrum of reporters outside of her   
   campaign bus. “I have a very good plan to present to the population of   
   Quebec and I have a great team around me and we’re ready to govern   
   (Quebec).”   
      
   The Liberals have been widening their lead over the PQ this past week   
   and Leader Philippe Couillard called on his supporters Saturday to help   
   deliver a Liberal majority.   
      
   Meanwhile, the third-place Coalition Avenir Quebec has seen a surge in   
   support over the last few days.   
      
   CAQ leader Francois Legault said he's encouraged by the latest polling   
   numbers and hopes to lead his party to a victory. He has promised to set   
   aside the sovereignty debate, and instead focus on the economy – an   
   issue voters say should be the top priority for the next Quebec government.   
      
   An Angus-Reid poll conducted on Friday showed slightly more support for   
   the Liberals, garnering 39 per cent of likely Quebec voters, compared to   
   27 per cent for the PQ, 25 per cent for the CAQ and seven per cent for   
   Quebec solidaire.
