Mr. Speaker, Positioning · 8 wordstoday is a great day for Quebec democracy.Positioning Claims · 17 wordsToday, October 5, Quebeckers are being asked to vote on who they trust to govern our nation.¹ The ask · 15 wordsOn behalf of the Bloc Québécois, I urge all Quebeckers to get out and vote. Reasoning · 94 wordsVoting is about more than having a right to complain, and it even goes beyond our civic duty. It is a small, simple act we can do that will have a decisive impact on the future of our nation. It is also a way to honour our ancestors, whether their names were “Papineau” or “Casgrain”, who fought hard for our right to vote and to make our own choices as a society. It also means ensuring that the party of our choice receives financial support, regardless of whether it wins or loses the election. Claims · 44 wordsI want to remind Quebeckers that they can find their polling station on the card they received in the mail or on the website of Élections Québec.² The citizens of the Quebec nation have until eight o’clock tonight to help shape our national destiny.³ The ask · 6 wordsI urge everyone to go vote. Positioning · 3 wordsLong live Quebec.Positioning
