Two days before an expected Quebec election call, Premier Jean Charest has shown how he will position his campaign, reports The Globe and Mail.

Aiming for a fourth win but struggling in the polls, Charest wants to bring back federalist supporters by making their concerns core of his campaign.

After a meeting of governors and premiers in Vermont, Charest criticized the Parti Québécois for its plan to take power and funding from the federal government.

Charest is expected to call the election on Wednesday for a vote on September 4.
