Blanchet warns of a possible ‘Trojan horse’ in any deal between Canada and Europe
Blanchet says closer ties with Europe could bring useful policy lessons, but he warns they may also mask gas and oil export risks.
- Bloc Leader Yves-François Blanchet warned on Sunday that Prime Minister Mark Carney's plan for closer ties with Europe could serve as a "Trojan horse" hiding the export of gas and oil rather than genuine strategic partnership.
- Blanchet argues that forging closer strategic ties with Europe represents "an opportunity to be seized from a Quebec perspective," positioning Quebec as a historic gateway due to its proximity, history, and language to the continent.
- The Bloc leader criticized the Liberals for abandoning a digital services tax and authorizing pesticides banned for environmental risks, noting "Europe is also much closer to implementing policies that protect cultural diversity and the discoverability of content."
- As Bloc MPs prepare for the "mini-return" to Parliament on Monday, Blanchet remains focused on securing government aid for businesses hard-hit by United States tariffs throughout the trade war.
- Blanchet believes upcoming United States midterm elections could force Americans to address the economic threat posed by Donald Trump, stating such a shift "will completely change the game" for Canadian trade policy.
