Cordova High School Memphis Hateful Liberals "Obama Generation Flushes You" - Video
Voters will cast their ballots in five western Quebec ridings on Monday, each held by aLiberal incumbent, but there are two ridings that were close calls in 2012.
The closest race in the last Quebec election was in the riding of Papineau, where Liberal Alexandre Irac edged his Parti Qubcois opponent, Jean-Franois Primeau, by just more than 200 votes.
The two will once again go head-to-head in Mondays election.
There was also a close race in the Hull riding where Liberal Maryse Gaudreault beat Parti Qubcois candidate Gilles Aub by fewer than 2,500 votes in 2012. They will each have their names on the ballots once again.
The other three ridings, which were fairly clear Liberal wins two years ago, are Chapleau, Gatineau and Pontiac.

TORONTO - With the prospect of an election growing more likely every day, the minority Liberals' spring budget may turn out to be more campaign platform than peace treaty.
It will also need to lay out a plan to fund a massive expansion of public transit in the vote-rich Greater Toronto and Hamilton area one of their key promises without raising taxes for the middle class.
Premier Kathleen Wynne has promised that a new "revenue stream" to raise the estimated $2 billion a year that's needed to fund public transit will be unveiled in the budget, expected May 1.
But she's ruled out a hike in the HST, gas tax and personal income tax for middle-income families, which has been defined in finance documents as individuals earning between $25,000 to $75,000 a year.
Wynne could raises taxes for businesses or higher-income earners something the kingmaker New Democrats could support.
Last December, a government-appointed panel recommended that the Liberals raise corporate taxes to 12 per cent, coupled with other measures such as hiking the gas tax and the Harmonized Sales Tax.
Metrolinx, the provincial transit authority, had proposed a 15 per cent increase in development charges for businesses, as well as an average 25 cents per day off-street parking levy, among other "revenue tools."
However, the parking charge could be passed on to drivers who use those spaces in places like shopping malls. As well, both measures on their own won't raise the billions of dollars annually that's needed.
Experts say there is another option: so-called "green bonds," which the government plans to issue this year.
Green bonds are a relatively new financing tool, intended to raise money that's used exclusively to support projects with specific environmental benefits.

The Northern Territory Education Minister has denied the announcement of two new schools in the seat of Blain is to secure votes ahead of Saturday's by-election.
The Government says $57 million will be used to build a special needs school in Bellamack and a school in Zuccoli.
Peter Chandler says the Government is not pork-barrelling.
"People will make their own decisions but the truth is the money has been found," he said.
"It's in this year's budget and therefore it's the right time to make the announcements."
Interest in the Blain by-election has intensified after three rebel MLAs quit the Country Liberals last week, forcing the party to retain the seat if it is to continue governing in a majority.
The seat of Blain was vacated by the former chief minister Terry Mills, who was rolled by Adam Giles a year ago.
The seat has always been held by the Country Liberals, but the party's internal disputes have given Labor a chance of winning.
Labor's candidate for Blain, Geoff Bahnert, says he has distilled his campaign message to five areas, especially focusing on the future of the Power and Water Corporation.
"If you don't want to keep your Power and Water prices going up, if you don't want to split Power and Water, if you want the teachers and the support staff back in your school, the affordable housing and the Palmerston hospital built - they are the five things that people are talking to me about on the doors," he said.
