« 51e état ? Why Not ? », écrivait Frédéric Poulin en 2024 en partageant la publication de « Concerned citizen », un autre utilisateur du réseau X, qui annonçait que le Canada était sur le point de devenir un état défaillant. Le candidat du PCQ dans Côte-du-Sud, en pleine lutte à trois avec le Parti québécois et la CAQ, n’a jamais caché son admiration pour les États-Unis. Dans une entrevue avec le média local Le Placoteux, il affirmait en 2025 que « si ce n’était pas de ma ferme, je pourrais aller vivre aux États-Unis, car la liberté là-bas est à la base de tout ». « En même temps, je me sens redevable au Québec. Voilà pourquoi je veux contribuer à améliorer la gestion de l’État en rendant celui-ci plus efficace et moins lourd », expliquait-il alors. | La Presse
