National Unity Government

The separatist Parti Québécois has won the Quebec provincial election, according to the New York Times, returning the pro-independence party to power and reviving its long-dormant push for Quebec sovereignty. The result marks a major shift in Canadian politics, raising questions about a potential new referendum on independence from Canada and the future of federal-provincial relations under the incoming Quebec government.

Voters in Quebec are heading to the polls in a provincial election where the Parti Québécois is projected to win. A victory would mark the first time in more than a decade that the separatist party forms the government in the French-speaking Canadian province, reviving questions about Quebec independence and its place in Canada.
