Because the Union Nationale was launched only two weeks before the election, the ALN and Conservatives ran separately in the 1935 Quebec election but did not compete against each other.
The Union Nationale was strongly aligned with the clergy in the province, and dominated Quebec politics during the Duplessis years using repressive measures such as the Padlock Law to suppress opposition and particularly the trade unions.
Following his failure to win election to the National Assembly, he resigned as leader, and returned to federal Parliament as a PC MP by winning a federal by-election that was called as a result of his resignation.

The NDP on the whole is polling 50% better than it did in the last election, and the Layton factor will boost her significantly (although, some might contest that Layton's having a harder time in Toronto-Danforth than Olivia is in Trinity-Spadina).
Peter Stollery represented it until 1980 In 1981 Heap took it for the NDP in a By-election after Stollery was appointed the the Senate and the by election was contested by very unpopular backroom boy Jim Couts.
Municipal elections seem to be more about "selecting a spokesperson" (as opposed to a government) than federal elections, and no one seems to mind Chow's accent then.

With 36 seats in what appears to be an uncomfortably close election, B.C. may well determine whether Canada elects a majority or minority government; whether it is formed by Paul Martin's Liberals or Stephen Harper's Conservatives; and whether Jack Layton's New Democrats have sufficient seats to affect the balance of power.
While it is likely that the New Democrats will increase their share of the popular vote from the previous three elections (from the mid-teens to the mid-twenties), much depends on the performance of Jack Layton, their new and untested leader.
When the Alliance popular vote from the last general election is added to that of their newly-betrothed, the Progressive Conservatives, the total comfortably exceeds half of the ballots counted.

NDP has surprisingly surged in the Atlantic since the 1997 election, and succeed in a couple of ridings since, the party is strong in NS, especially in Halifax, one of the few cities that's not entirely devoted electorally to the Liberals.
In the 1997 election, people in the Atlantic snapped, and the old political order was shattered as the NDP surged across the region, aided by the collapse of the Fishing and Coal industries and high unemployment.
The general theory seems to be that a "united right" party would win all the votes won by the CA and PC parties in the last election plus some LPC votes as well.

This is one of the safest predominantly francophone Liberal seats in Quebec.

Outremont is a pretty strong Liberal riding (Liberal since 1935 with the exception of 1988-1993) and the high profile of Jean Lapierre only adds to this.
