Quebec sovereigntists vote Liberal, fearing U.S. annexation

In Quebec, lifelong sovereigntists are planning to vote Liberal for the first time in the upcoming election, driven by concerns over U.S. President Trump's threats of annexation. This shift could significantly impact the Bloc Québécois's standing. This unusual political alignment is fueled by fears of Quebec becoming a U.S. state, leading some traditional Bloc supporters to back the Liberals. A recent poll shows the Liberals leading with 42% support, while the Bloc and Conservatives are tied at 23%. The election outcome could see the Liberals achieving their best results in decades, while the Bloc risks losing official party status. This shift reflects Quebec's history of volatile voting patterns and a desire for a united front against external threats.
