With U.S. President Donald Trump sucking up most of the political oxygen on both sides of the border, political parties at all levels of government are scrambling to adapt. The challenge is particularly acute for the Parti Québécois.PQ leader Paul St-Pierre Plamondon is maintaining the party's focus on Quebec independence despite a recent surge in support for Canadian unity in Quebec.

St-Pierre Plamondon pictured at the party's campaign launch for a byelection in the riding of Terrbonne last week. Caron said an independent Quebec in the Trump era would have good days and bad days, just like any other country.He even thinks Canada could be in a better bargaining position with the U.S. on trade if Quebec was a separate country.
At a news conference last November, St-Pierre Plamondon railed against the excesses of what he calls "wokeism". "It's going to be hard for political people in Canada of all stripes to put forward ideas that are associated with things that Donald Trump agrees with," Nicolas said.
