Mr. Fortin Giving a Speech in the Riding of Marc-Aurèle-Fortin

Hello my Fellow Quebecers!  I'm here today to talk about Prime Minister Trudeau's "Platform" and what it has to offer for Quebec.  Now, I've got it here in my hands and, well look!  There's nothing here that mentions Quebec at all!  It talks about greater Infrastructure Spending yet makes no reference to Quebec at all, meaning that Quebec would not get it's fair share under this plan.  There's talk of something called a "Independent Non-Partisan Advisory Board for Senate Appointments" which apparently means that a bunch of Bureaucrats appointed by the Government get to pick Senators.  How is that any different from what we have now?  Whoever is in power can just appoint members to the board to stack the Senate in their favor!  Mr. Trudeau is showing with this platform that he doesn't care about Quebec or the People, as he doesn't want to talk about investing in Quebec, and wants to trust his buddies with appointing senators instead of Senators being elected by the People.  Now I'm sure you all will make known to Mr. Trudeau on the 8th that the People of Quebec want a real voice for them, not a voice out just for Himself and his buddies.

Thank you all for your time and have a Great Night!

Mr. Fortin Giving a speech in the Riding of Vimy,


Hello my Fellow Quebecers!  I'm here today to talk about the Leadership of the Prime Minister.  But I'm having a little trouble, because there doesn't seem to be anything to talk about!  Mr. Trudeau's Leadership is completely nonexistent, nowhere to be seen.  He's barely campaigning, and he's not been in the Debates at all!  He's trying to avoid you all, my fellow Quebecers.  I'll say it again, he's scared of you because you're able to see through his smile and TV Ads.  You're able to see that he offers nothing to you but empty leadership and no benefits for Quebec.  You're able to see that he only called this election for his own benefit, not for your betterment or well being, wasting Federal Dollars on what could be used as Infrastructure money for Quebec and Canada as a whole.  He's a hollow Leader, and on the 8th The People of Quebec will make sure they have a Strong Voice for themselves in Ottawa, I'm sure of it!

I thank all of you for your time and have a great night!

(Out of Character:  Apologies for the image quality diminishing, I'm starting to run out of images of Fortin speaking lol)

Mr. Fortin Giving the Campaign Closing Speech in The Riding of Papineau


Hello Ladies and Gentlemen of Papineau!

I've decided to choose this amazing Riding to close Bloc's campaign, which I believe has gone rather well.  Why here?  Because I want to ask the people of Papineau something.  For as long as Mr. Trudeau has been an MP for this Riding, Since 2008, has he bettered your lives?  In this Campaign, has he shown up to offer you all a better life with his policies?  Has he or the Liberal Party offered Quebec and her people anything at all to help them?  The answer to every one of those questions is No.  Mr. Trudeau has only tried to better his own life and to further his own ambitions, like a Politician.  I have a final promise to you all, I and the Bloc Quebecois promise not to be politicians, we will always fight for policies to benefit you all, fighting for Quebec's fair share of spending, and the right to do our own taxes, as well as reforming the Constitution to stop Opportunistic Snap Elections from being called ever again.  And Unlike Prime Minister Trudeau, we promise to carry through on our promises by actually being willing to work with other parties, instead of wasting Federal Dollars attempting to seize a majority.

Thank you all for your time, and I encourage you all to vote tomorrow!  Have a great night my fellow Quebecers!
