Fréchette and Carney Forge Quebec Deal | Vancouver News

Quebec Premier Christine Fréchette is riding high after a flurry of major federal deals with Prime Minister Mark Carney, securing billions in infrastructure, energy, and even icebreaker contracts—boosting her political profile ahead of the October 5 election. While some warn Ottawa should tone down public gestures to avoid meddling accusations, Fréchette’s proactive engagement with the federal government has surprisingly smoothed over past negotiation hurdles. Carney, meanwhile, is quietly building relationships with potential future Quebec leaders, including Quebec Liberal leader Charles Milliard, without making partisan moves. Polls show Fréchette’s CAQ now tied with the PQ, with analysts crediting Carney’s pro-French-language stance and alignment with Quebec’s identity as key to her momentum.
