Not sure how somebody can write an article like this, and not bring up suburban trends. Terrebonne has been moving into Montreal’s orbit for ~20 years, and has been slowly shifting away from the Bloc over that same time frame. Carney’s win last year was hardly comparable to the Orange Wave, and more an extremely strong performance in Greater Montreal.
The Bloc used to get 70% of the vote in Terrebonne, and it was one of the strongest separatist ridings in the province. Now, even in their strong years like 2019, they can’t crack 50%.
The Liberal’s victory in Terrebonne is likely just be a sign of what’s to come in the future. 20 years from now it will probably be a reliable Liberal seat, presuming we have the same party system.
