The Bloc Quebecois, after a shocking electoral victory over the Liberals, experienced a swift decline in popularity due to shifting political sentiments in Canada. The party's win indicated a resurgence of the separatist movement, especially among party loyalists. However, the excitement proved fleeting as the fallout from Donald Trump's presidency, marked by threats to Canada and tariffs affecting Quebec's industries, shifted allegiances towards national pride rather than regional movements. Experts predict the Bloc will struggle in the upcoming federal election, losing the momentum gained just months prior.
Chastened by the loss, then prime minister Justin Trudeau admitted his Liberals had a lot of work to do. The back-to-back blows reflected a governing party in tatters and a leader losing his grip on power.
Now, not so much. The shift was largely the result of Donald Trump's repeated threats to annex Canada and his imposition of tariffs on Canadian steel and aluminum, prompting fears in Quebec that further actions from the White House could have devastating effects on its timber, mining, and manufacturing industries.
