They say it may not deliver the results the federal Liberals want in the next federal election.
What politicos are saying
The Hill Times reported on November 2, 2026, that a key takeaway from the two provincial votes is that running against Trump may no longer be enough to win. The report, written by Abbas Rana, attributes that view to unnamed political players.
The article is accompanied by photos of newly elected B.C. premier Lorne Doerkson, new Quebec Premier Paul St-Pierre Plamondon and Prime Minister Mark Carney.
A different reading from a pollster
Not everyone agrees the message has lost its force. Greg Lyle, president of Innovative Research, told The Hill Times that the issue is still politically relevant.
Lyle said the incumbent parties in Quebec and B.C. failed to capitalize on the anti-Trump appeal among Canadians. In his view, the problem was how those parties used the issue rather than the issue itself.
The two readings differ on a central question for federal politics: whether the anti-Trump message has lost its pull with voters, or whether the provincial incumbents simply did not make good use of it.
