A thoughtful column! I hope that Canadians get a government where a party has a majority in the House of Commons. By believing one person, Mr. Carney, can solve all is naive. Many Liberal MPs stood by and did little to stop former PM Trudeau. With the multitude of scandals and poor economy these other MPs should be held accountable for the past 9 years as well as Mr. Trudeau. I believe Quebec wishes to protect its culture, language and history and will side with Canada at least as long as Trump is president. The role of the CBC could be improved upon rather than defunded and Conservatives need to see that value of a national information channel as opposed to the fragmented social media landscape. Let's hope for a majority government so that we can direct our energies to the preservation and growth of our nation.
The Liberals only need to peel of 20% or so from the Bloc to win a large number of seats. I think they can get this 20% just by making the case that they are the best defence against Trump.
Now, the Bloc could counter this. They could counter it by promising to support all measures that defend Canada and Quebec against Trump, even ones that they don’t necessarily like. State that, if necessary, the Bloc will support a unity government for as long as Trump is in power. Maybe it is more likely for the Leafs to win the Stanley cup, but if they want to keep the Bloc voters that are willing to consider the Liberals, they will have to do something radical.
Quebec voters are very good at voting for their self interest and in a tariff war with the US, being foursquare on Team Canada is the safest place to be.
Quebec independence in a world where the US is actively hostile to western democracies looks a lot less enticing, especially when the future of Canada looks more closely tied to Europe. Quebec will want to be a part of that.
So unless we vote Liberal - Quebec will separate? 🤔 Maybe we need another “Sponsorship Liberal Program”. Just like the program that took Canadian taxpayer money and shovelled it to Liberal MPs under the guise of “unity” to help Liberals get elected.

I think the Liberals are in a bit of a unique position of being able to make an aggressive case in Quebec without having to attack the Bloc to do it
