Quebec Election Campaign Derailed by Surging Job Losses

Quebec's election campaign is focused on job losses and the economy after the province reported losing 19,000 jobs in August alone. This number surpasses any other province in Canada, according to Statistics Canada.

The trade war with the U.S. has played a role in these job losses, as noted by the agency. As a result, leaders on the campaign trail have made the state of the economy their top priority.
