Separatist Parti Québécois wins Quebec election, vows independence vote

The sovereigntist Parti Québécois has won Quebec's provincial election, with leader Paul St-Pierre Plamondon set to become premier. It marks the party's first return to power since 2014 and revives the question of Quebec independence, testing Prime Minister Mark Carney's national unity message. Plamondon has pledged a third referendum, though polls show only about 30% of Quebecers support separation.
