However, today’s Quebec seems to be looking for other places to park the vote, and the senses of Block Quebec leader Yves-François Blanchet are also senses. He heard this on the ground: Quebecs were overwhelmingly liberal. Some people want to vote conservatively.

Even separatists or nationalists, deeply attached to the French language and Quebec values, seem ready to vote for the English-speaking leadership of the country.

“I am absolutely not worried about the rest of the campaign. I believe Québécois is hosting a campaign that fully meets me, which will likely attract Quebecs who are not ready to give anyone a blank mission,” Blanchet said in a press conference.

The “Choose Quebec” platform is mainly about how the group prompted the government to select the Quebec delegation as the delegation to the province to reach its next trade agreement with the United States.

The platform said the group will support anti-election campaigns, as well as plans to help businesses and workers hit by tariffs.

The party is expected to fight against teeth and nails with any concessions that could hurt the French language, supply management and the wood and aluminum industry.

It also opposes any pipeline on Quebec soil.

“The challenge of passionate embracing now is to bring it to life and fix it everywhere in businesses, families, families so that these people can see our advice,” Blanchet announced Saturday.

Liberals quickly undermined the group’s political platform, claiming that it did not answer the fundamental question of how they defend the interests of Quebec workers when they never leave the opposition.”

“By almost completely eliminating their platform independence, the group also recognizes being part of a wider alliance to address the economic challenges we face,” said Guillaume Bertrand, a spokesman for the free campaign.

The Conservatives have made no comments on the Quebec propaganda.

Bloc members have previously met at Sherbrooke and adopted the platform. The party also announced all 78 candidates in the province.

When parliament dissolved, the group had 33 seats, the same as the Liberal Party in Quebec.
