OTTAWA - A Quebec separatist party that softened its demands for independence reaped the reward on Monday, mounting a remarkable comeback in Canada’s election that helped deprive Prime Minister Justin Trudeau of a majority.
“We have come far but we will go further,” Blanchet told jubilant supporters in the early hours of Tuesday. Surveys show support for Quebec independence is far below the levels it hit in 1995, when a referendum on breaking away from Canada only just failed. The 54-year-old former provincial minister and media personality said the Bloc wanted to make Parliament work and would back any proposed legislation that was good for Quebec.
“Our job is not to make Canadian federalism work. Our job ... is also not to cause problems,” he said, adding the party would not be servile.
