Canada's Parti Québécois (PQ) is projected to form a minority government in Quebec, marking the first time the separatist party has held power since 2014. Paul St-Pierre Plamondon is set to become the province's new leader.
The PQ's victory means the party will need to collaborate with other provincial parties to enact its agenda, which includes pursuing a new public vote on independence for Quebec. St-Pierre Plamondon has previously indicated that a referendum would be contingent on specific conditions, stating that such a vote would only occur after Donald Trump's term as U.S. President concludes. He cited the need for "conditions that allow for an informed and serene debate" as crucial for any future vote on sovereignty.
