Donald Trump has become a significant influence in Quebec's upcoming election, despite not being on the ballot. With tensions rising due to his trade policies targeting Canada, Quebec's political landscape has shifted dramatically. The Coalition Avenir Québec (CAQ), led by Christine Fréchette, faces challenges after eight years in power, while the separatist Parti Québécois (PQ) leads in polls.

Premier Fréchette has positioned herself as a counterweight to Trump, leveraging federal support for infrastructure and industrial projects to bolster her campaign.
