Recent polls show that support for the Parti Québécois is growing among voters in the South Shore suburbs of Montreal, even as many residents remain doubtful about a potential referendum.

The region has traditionally been a strong base for the Coalition Avenir Québec, helping that party win previous elections, but the latest polling suggests a shift toward the Parti Québécois ahead of any referendum discussion.

Voters say they are seeking change after the South Shore helped the Coalition Avenir Québec secure earlier victories.
