Quebec’s Quiet Shift in Federal and Provincial Politics | Calgary News

In a surprise federal byelection win in Chicoutimi—Le Fjord, Liberals took the seat while the Bloc Québécois candidate fell short—but Parti Québécois leader Paul St-Pierre Plamondon isn’t rattled. He argues provincial and federal votes don’t align, and his party still leads in polls despite the CAQ’s recent gains, possibly fueled by Canada’s stalled trade talks with the U.S. Quebec’s government fears broad tariffs could hurt local businesses, urging Ottawa for targeted action instead. St-Pierre promises a more respectful federal-provincial relationship if elected, emphasizing better consultation on trade—a key issue voters see as tied to Quebec’s sovereignty and economic future.
