Liberal Leader Michael Ignatieff arrives in Val d'Or, Que. during a snow shower on Thursday, April 28, 2011.

Stephen Harper starts Friday with a campaign stop in Montreal that will feature all his area candidates. He's fighting a burgeoning NDP vote in Quebec where that party is now leading in many polls.

Then the Conservative Leader is spending the rest of the day in Ontario. He hits the open road for a series of whistle stops in ridings en route to Toronto, including Kingston and Ajax-Pickering. In both of these areas Tories are hoping to steal the seats from Liberals.

The Kingston and the Islands riding has no incumbent after popular local MP Peter Milliken resigned and the Tories are running a star candidate, former diplomat Chris Alexander against Liberal Mark Holland in Ajax Pickering.

Finally Mr. Harper ends his day with another rally in Brampton, which is where the Tories hope to unseat several Liberal incumbents including Ruby Dhalla.

NDP Leader Jack Layton is in B.C. for events in Kamloops and Courtenay.

Liberal Leader Michael Ignatieff will begin the day with a town hall meeting in Val-d'Or, Que., before returning to Southern Ontario for events in London and Kitchener.

Bloc Québécois Leader Gilles Duceppe spends Friday in ridings that are currently in his party's hands: Gatineau, across the river from Ottawa, before going to the city of Granby in the riding of Shefford, and then stops in Brome-Mississquoi, in the Eastern Townships.
