Separatists win Quebec election in test for Canada PM’s national unity strategy
Voters in Quebec gave the separatist Parti Québécois a plurality in the provincial election, though the party lacks a majority and will need coalition partners to form a government. The result challenges Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s national unity plan, as finance chief Mark Carney warned that internal division could weaken Canada’s position amid potential U.S. tariff measures proposed by President Donald Trump.
