Carbon Tax, Quebec Polls and Canadian Diplomacy - November 1, 2023

The federal government's partial rollback of the carbon price in Atlantic Canada continues to provoke reactions across the country. Esther Bégin discusses the issue with federal minister and Alberta MP Randy Boissonnault. According to a new Léger/Journal de Montréal/ TVA poll, the CAQ could form a minority government if an election were held today in Quebec. The Parti Québécois and its leader Paul St-Pierre-Plamondon are seeing their popularity rise. Esther Bégin analyzes these results with Éric Grenier, poll aggregator for The Writ. This week, Foreign Affairs Minister Mélanie Joly unveiled her government's new geopolitical vision, which she describes as "pragmatic diplomacy". Esther Bégin analyzes this new approach with Louise Blais, ambassador and deputy representative of Canada to the UN from 2017 to 2021, and diplomat-in-residence at Université Laval.
