## Resource

Quebec Premier Christine Fréchette stunned observers by pausing her election campaign to convene a special cabinet meeting, unveiling new economic measures to shield Quebec businesses from U.S. trade war fallout — a move critics say is politically opportunistic, while analysts argue she’s caught in a no-win bind: act and risk backlash, or do nothing and face even harsher criticism. As the October 5 election looms, the trade conflict has become the defining issue, with opponents from both major parties calling the cabinet session a distraction, yet political realities leave Fréchette with few alternatives — and the nation watching closely to see if she can navigate this storm without sacrificing her credibility.
