Quebec nationalism and provincial issues like language, immigration and secularism often loom large in federal election campaigns, but Trump's tariffs and threat of making Canada the 51st state has reshaped the campaign so far.

"It's weighing heavily on Quebecers the same way that it's weighing on Canadians," said Sébastien Dallaire, executive vice-president with the polling firm Leger.

"It makes it harder to talk about Quebec sovereignty when the whole country is being threatened by our giant neighbour."

I would rather advocate for socialism within the context of Canada's current democratic system than within the context of a fascist, expansionist USA. I'm sure Quebec sovereigntists feel very similarly about their issue.
