The Parti Québécois has secured a return to power in Quebec’s provincial election, vowing to hold a third referendum on the province’s independence from Canada. The party’s victory follows years of shifting public opinion on sovereignty, with leaders framing the vote as a chance to finally settle the question after decades of political debate. Supporters argue the move reflects growing frustration with federal policies, while critics warn of economic and social risks tied to separation. The announcement has already sparked sharp reactions across Canada, raising questions about the future of Quebec’s relationship with the rest of the country.
