Episode Details

In a surprise federal byelection win in Chicoutimi—Le Fjord, Liberals claimed victory as the Bloc Québécois fell short—but Parti Québécois leader Paul St-Pierre Plamondon isn’t rattled, insisting federal and provincial politics are apples and oranges. Despite polls showing his party still leading in Quebec, CAQ is gaining ground, partly fueled by the U.S. trade dispute that also boosted the Liberal candidate. Sources point to the collapsed trade talks and local name recognition as key factors—and voters may be splitting tickets. With retaliatory tariffs looming, Quebec’s economy faces fresh risks, and St-Pierre Plamondon vows a more respectful federal relationship if elected, blaming Ottawa for withholding critical trade details during negotiations.
