Parties talk taxes, trade war and parental leave on Day 2 of Quebec election campaign

On the second day of the Quebec provincial election campaign, political parties focused on key issues such as taxation, trade relations, and parental leave policies. Coalition Avenir Quebec (CAQ) leader Christine Fréchette faced criticism from opponents over economic decisions, particularly regarding the abandoned Northvolt battery plant. Parti Québécois (PQ) leader Paul St-Pierre Plamondon proposed cutting corporate taxes by 20% if elected, criticizing the CAQ's approach to economic interventionism. Meanwhile, Liberal leader Charles Milliard emphasized reducing reliance on the U.S. market for Quebec exports and addressed concerns about federalist alignment within the CAQ. Polls indicated shifting support between the CAQ and PQ, with the Liberals losing ground.

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.
