The Independence Party won the regional elections in Quebec with 28% of the vote, according to France 24, which reported the results published on October 6, 2026.
The new provincial leaders clearly express their desire for independence from Canada. They promise to hold a referendum by 2029, after the end of Donald Trump’s term.
This electoral victory challenges the recent message of unity promoted by Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney, the source notes.
