Quebec Election Focuses on US Tariffs and Independence Debate Amid Community Concerns
Quebec's provincial election centers on economic concerns linked to US tariffs under President Trump, with the Parti Québécois (PQ) poised for a potential win. While the PQ previously advocated for an independence referendum, it now plans to delay such a vote until after Trump's term ends. The party's rise reflects voter dissatisfaction with the current government and issues like high prices and healthcare strain. The Indo-Canadian community expresses anxiety over the PQ's separatist stance, fearing division and preferring to remain part of Canada.
