While the stakes for Canada may be high in the upcoming U.S. presidential election, only one Canadian federal party leader has actually attended either the Republican or Democratic national conventions.
Bloc Québécois Leader Yves-François Blanchet says he was invited to attend the Democratic National Convention , and he is using the opportunity to listen to what officials close to the Democratic nominee have to say about issues important to Canadians and Quebecers."We have to live with the fact that our closest ally and friend is the most powerful nation on earth.
The U.S. and Canada are each country’s largest trading partners, and according to Global Affairs Canada, nearly $3.6B worth of goods and services crossed the border each day in 2023. Blanchet said he was not invited to attend the RNC, but even if he had been, he would not have attended."I wouldn't have gone because I can not support the way it's being done now and it's no secret, that without interfering into their affairs or asking them to say or do something about our own issues, I feel closer to what Mr. Obama or Mrs. Obama said yesterday," said Blanchet.
