Quebec separatist party projected to win election, vowing independence referendum

Original: Canadian Press projects election victory for a Quebec separatist party that promises another independence referendum

The Canadian Press is projecting an election victory for a Quebec separatist party that has promised to hold another referendum on independence from Canada. The projection signals renewed political momentum for the sovereigntist movement in Quebec, a long-running issue in Canadian politics. The promise of a fresh independence vote is expected to dominate debate over the province's relationship with Ottawa in the period ahead.

Why now: The projected election win puts the possibility of a new Quebec independence referendum back at the centre of Canadian politics.
