Orléans is also worth watching, largely because it is an open seat. Liberal-turned-Conservative David Bertschi is taking on Marie-France Lalonde, a former provincial cabinet minister who resigned as MPP to run federally. Bertschi had a public falling-out with the Liberals over the 2015 nomination and would love to win here. But he faces an uphill battle. Lalonde, who has served as Orléans MPP since 2014, is well-known in the riding. Besides, Orléans has a sizeable Francophone population and disaffection with Ontario Premier Doug Ford over cuts to French-language services could be a drag for Bertschi. If the Liberals can’t win in Orléans, it spells trouble around the country.
