Parti Québécois Wins Quebec Election, Plans Independence Referendum Post-Trump
The separatist Parti Québécois (PQ) won Quebec's provincial election, ending eight years of Coalition Avenir Québec (CAQ) rule. PQ leader Paul St-Pierre Plamondon plans to hold an independence referendum after U.S. President Donald Trump leaves office in 2029. Despite the victory, support for separation remains around 30%, reflecting divided public opinion. The PQ's win reflects voter dissatisfaction with the CAQ amid economic concerns, including tariffs from the U.S. The outcome poses challenges for Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney's national unity efforts.
