  "account": "Canada's Canadian Press decision desk is projecting Quebec Liberal Leader Charles Milliard to win the Orford riding in the province's Eastern Townships region. This is Milliard's first election as party leader and his first attempt at securing a seat in the Quebec legislature. Milliard, a pharmacist by trade, was elected as leader of the Quebec Liberals in February. He succeeded former federal cabinet minister Pablo Rodriguez, who resigned as party leader in December of the previous year. Known for his love of art, Milliard has been involved with the Montreal Symphony Orchestra and the TransAmérique Festival. Born in 1979 in Lévis, on Quebec City's south shore, the report by The Canadian Press was first published on October 5, 2026.",
