In his participation in the program The debaters On the waves of Noovo on Monday evening, a panelist asked him if he would say yes or no to the management of the PQ. He did not just say no or yes.
“More likely not that yes,” he replied to Antonine Yaccarini, herself an ancient PQ pharmacies.
He added that his work is to collaborate with the current PQ leader, Paul St-Pierre Plamondon, to achieve sovereignty. He hinted that he does not think about the possibility of possibly accessing the head of the party considered as brother of the block.
“I do not live on a daily basis in this perspective, it is not at all part of my analysis grid,” he added.
A meeting with Trudeau … Father
The blocist chief confided that he would have liked to meet … Pierre Elliott Trudeau, the former Prime Minister, father of Justin, perceived as a great defender of federalism and slayer of Quebec independence.
Mr. Blanchet was indeed asked which Prime Minister he would have liked to meet, between William Lyon Mackenzie King, Brian Mulroney and Pierre Trudeau.
“It remains important, despite deep disagreements, despite the ideological evolution of this man, he [Pierre Trudeau] Marked a Canada-Québec era that I still knew, ”said Mr. Blanchet to justify his choice.
He was also asked what question he would like to ask him, he answered “several”, without specifying which ones.
Another panelist, the former conservative deputy Alain Rayes, asked the Blocker chief to find at least one quality for each of his opponents.
He replied that Marc Carney was “calm appearance”, that Mr. Poilievre was an “exceptional speaker”, and finally, that the neo-democratic chief Jagmeet Singh was showing a “credible social commitment”.
