Quebec is projected to elect a separatist government for the first time in over a decade, posing a challenge to Prime Minister Mark Carney's message of national unity. The Parti Québécois plans an independence referendum.
Quebecers voted in a provincial election where separatist parties vied for power. The Parti Québécois, which secured a minority government, pledged to hold an independence referendum in the coming years. The election results present a new challenge to Prime Minister Mark Carney's administration and its focus on national unity.
The potential return of separatists to power in Canada's French-speaking province revives historical debates about Quebec's place within the Canadian federation. The outcome tests the federal government's ability to maintain cohesion amid regional aspirations for greater autonomy or outright independence.
