Quebec Separatists Win Narrow Election
Quebec separatists won a narrow election victory under Paul St-Pierre Plamondon. The result complicates Prime Minister Mark Carney's national unity efforts as he faces potential U.S. tariffs.
Canada's Parti Quebecois secured 59 seats in Monday evening's provincial vote, complicating Prime Minister Mark Carney's strategy against the United States's trade policies. The narrow minority win leaves the separatist party five seats short of a majority in the 127-seat legislature. The outcome threatens national solidarity just as Carney seeks a united front to counter tariffs imposed by Washington.
