[Castanet News]

Against the backdrop of U.S. tariff threats, the Quebec government tabled a budget on Tuesday with a record $13.6-billion deficit and billions of dollars in new...

that and a bigger share of equalization payments im sure will help....

[bela7744]

They were drowning well before the trade war, blame trump of course

[toyota20]

Oh, that's okay. They get about $13 billion in equalization payments. Cheque will be there soon, Quebec.
Maybe you'd get more if you allowed a pipeline?
Parasite province.

[caddyman]

No better time than now to stop making equalization payment to the parasite province that has been sucking the west dry
I bet if they separated ,they would put a pipe line threw so the got money

Carney will win the election in a landslide.

Not Bringing any tears to my eyes and If Carney wins we are totally sunk as a country

The stupid fools blocked the Energy East Pipeline, which if completed would now provide Canada a trump card to negotiate with Trump’s tariffs. Now let them pay the price and weep. A true left wing, self serving, woke, separatist party.

[Simon Church]

Quebec gets billions every year in transfer payments and they spend it frivolously. Not only that they have blocked Energy East and natural gas pipelines which would’ve brought jobs and revenue. They are their own worst enemies so don’t blame Donald Trump for everything.

MAGA

make America go away

[Thinkaboutit]

It should not be up to Quebec to decide if they should separate...., it should be up to the rest of Canada and I say GO!!!

As usual, facts are not a big concern to some commenters, but it’s good to look at them from time to time. A number of provinces get per capita equalization payments far larger than Quebec. Of course that’s not convenient for the anti-French/Quebec narrative. Where’s your disgust for the parasites of PEI, New Brunswick and Manitoba?

Per Capita Payment (2024)
Prince Edward Island
$3,718
Quebec
$1,545
New Brunswick
$3,629
Manitoba
$3,252

Cue the wrote (ungoogled) local anti Quebec tirades…..sigh….

Let the US take Quebec, Canada could take Arizona, for year round fruits and vegetables for Canada. The U S can have Quebec with their hydro electricity, and aluminum. This would benefit both countries.

[tomloudon]

Quebec crying wolf again pretending to be a have not province looking for more equalization payments no doubt.
