Canada election: Carney pitches funding boost for CBC, Radio-Canada as way to preserve national identity
I'm Kate McKenna, a senior Parliamentary reporter. I moved to Ottawa in 2023, after covering Quebec for most of a decade. As Jenna noted, the day after appearing on the Radio-Canada special Cinq chefs, une élection, the federal party leaders will get a chance to keep practising their French with campaign stops in Quebec. In a media roundup this morning, some Francophone outlets noted Carney's at-times shaky performance in his second language, but also noted his commitment to work on his spoken French if elected prime minister. The Liberals appear to be gaining ground in Quebec, which has 78 seats — the second-largest provincial seat count, behind only Ontario. CBC's Poll Tracker has them poised to win between 41 and 50 seats in la belle province. The path to a Liberal government likely runs through Quebec, but the Bloc's Blanchet repeatedly questioned Carney's ability to advocate for Quebecers, and the Liberal leader will face another test in the French-language debate later this month, where his opponents will likely be more aggressive.
