Quebec

Quebec appears in Elbows up, again: a US-Canada trade flare-up as the Canadian province where tariff exposure and language politics intersect. The episode says one American demand involved weakening protections for French language and culture, including rules affecting sales into Quebec, which made concession politically dangerous for Mark Carney ahead of provincial elections.

The source contrasts Quebec with Alberta. Quebec is described as facing high effective tariff exposure, while Alberta has low tariff exposure but major oil leverage. Together, the two provinces show why Canada’s retaliation against Donald Trump cannot be reduced to a single national interest.
