The Parti Québécois is urging the federal government to withdraw financier Mark Wiseman from consideration as Canada’s ambassador to the U.S., labeling him “not a friend” to Quebec. Prime Minister Mark Carney is expected to announce a replacement for outgoing ambassador Kirsten Hillman soon, with Wiseman rumored as a candidate. Critics, including PQ member Pascal Paradis and Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre, have condemned Wiseman’s ties to the controversial Century Initiative and past remarks viewed as dismissive of Quebec’s interests. The backlash includes concerns over his stance on supply management and implications for upcoming trade negotiations.
