Bloc Québécois Leader Yves-François Blanchet on Tuesday called for a “partisan truce” with other federal party leaders, even as he was accused by the Bloc’s provincial cousins of putting the sovereignty question aside.
One day after the federal election, which saw the Bloc’s seats reduced considerably, Blanchet told reporters in Montreal that voters want stability in Parliament in order to address the trade war with the United States. He offered to put partisanry aside for a time—as long as the other leaders do the same.
