Bloc Québécois Leader Yves-François Blanchet says he expects this election campaign to be mostly centred on the issue of U.S. tariffs, and that he wants to ensure Quebec’s interests are represented.

During a press conference in Montreal on March 23, the day the election was called, Blanchet took issue with U.S. President Donald Trump’s foreign policy on Gaza and Ukraine, and said Canada and Quebec should act as “allies” facing the Trump presidency.
