Quebec vote tests Carney’s national unity message
The separatist Parti Québécois was seeking a return to power as voters went to the polls in the province.
Quebec voters went to the polls on Monday in an election that could test Prime Minister Mark Carney’s message of national unity, according to France 24.
The separatist Parti Québécois was seeking a return to power in Canada’s majority French-speaking province. The supplied report does not give an election result, vote totals or seat projections.
France 24 described Carney as popular in Quebec and reported that a possible PQ victory was not seen as a repudiation of his position towards US President Donald Trump.
The report linked Canadian anger to what it described as Trump’s trade war and annexation threats. It did not provide evidence for its interpretation of what a PQ victory would mean for Carney’s stance.
