Quebec-based party chief tries to build alliance against Liberal minority government in Parliament. Recent polls show Conservatives leading while smaller parties face declining support

Yves-Francois Blanchet the head of Bloc Quebecois is looking for back-up to push-out the Liberal government‚ but other parties dont seem too keen on the idea

The Quebec-based party wants more cash for old-age benefits and protection for dairy-industry quotas (which is super-important for Quebec farmers); however Justin Trudeau hasnt met their needs in time

We are negotiating with opposition parties in order to have the government fall

stated Blanchet to reporters

The nine-year-old Liberal government needs help from other parties to stay in charge - especially from the left-wing New Democrats led by Jagmeet Singh whoʼve backed them twice in confidence votes this fall

Recent opinion-polls show the Conservatives way ahead while both Liberals and New Democrats are not doing great; the next vote must happen before 10/2025. The Bloc which pushes for Quebec independence is now the second-biggest opposition group but needs more support to make any real changes
