Thin on the right so far

None of the 22 outlets with a published leaning rating that ran this story are rated right.

This story is still being watched, so it is a count and not yet a finding. Coverage keeps arriving for hours after an event, and a side that has published nothing this morning may publish by tonight. If it is still true when we stop checking, we will say so plainly.

Bloc Québécois Members of Parliament are set to convene in Cantley, Quebec, a town situated less than 20 kilometres from Parliament Hill. This gathering is scheduled to take place before the House of Commons resumes its session on Monday. The primary focus of the meeting will be the ongoing Canada-U.S. trade dispute and its economic repercussions.

Throughout the summer, the Bloc Québécois has advocated for the federal government to provide additional support to businesses that have been affected by U.S. tariffs. The party has also been active in promoting legislation aimed at protecting supply management, a system regulating Canada's dairy, poultry, and egg sectors. A Bloc-sponsored bill limiting concessions on this system in future trade agreements became law last year. MPs will also be observing the concluding stages of Quebec's provincial election campaign.

No right-rated outlet ran this story.
