A newly elected minority government in Quebec has announced plans to push forward with a long-debated independence referendum, signaling a renewed push for sovereignty discussions in the province. The move comes as the Parti Québécois, which won the most seats in the recent election, reaffirms its commitment to holding a vote on separation from Canada in the near future. The decision has already sparked debate over the political and constitutional implications of such a referendum. Supporters argue it reflects the will of Quebec’s population, while critics question the timing and legal challenges ahead.


The Parti Québécois, which secured a minority, has vowed to hold an independence referendum in the years to come.
