"S teven Guilbeault was on Tout le monde en parle on November 30, downing a shot at the end for comic relief after catching his throat as he struggled to explain what it feels like to quit a cabinet job over Prime Minister Mark Carney's energy deal with Alberta. I think he gave a good account of himself. Not for the first time, I wish this country had an English-language talk show that was as central to the national conversation."
""Carney has delivered for Alberta. What about Quebec?" reads the headline over Yasmine Abdelfadel's column in this past Monday's Journal de Montréal. "Because, remember, it's not Alberta that put Mark Carney in power," writes Abdelfadel, a former provincial Liberal staffer turned public relations consultant. "It's Quebec. It's here that the Liberals saved the furniture. And yet, since he showed up, we don't feel any recognition or consideration for the nation that gave him his mandate.""
Steven Guilbeault's November 30 Tout le monde en parle appearance included him downing a shot after catching his throat while explaining quitting a cabinet job over Prime Minister Mark Carney's energy deal with Alberta. The piece notes a national shift from a turbulent week to routine regional responses: booing compromise in Edmonton and counting favours in Montreal. A Montreal headline asked whether Carney's actions favored Alberta and questioned what Quebec received in return. The narrative emphasizes Quebec's political role in empowering the government, the succession of Quebec ministers of Canadian heritage, and federal referrals of Quebec projects to the Major Projects Office, including a proposed 60 percent Contrecoeur Terminal expansion at the Port of Montreal.
