#CANADA: Parti Québécois Leader Vows New Seccession Vote For Quebec

[world politics news]


Quebecers will have one “ultimate” chance to prevent their language and culture from being “erased,” by voting Yes in another independence referendum sometime before 2030, the leader of the Parti Québécois said Sunday.

If the PQ takes power in the 2026 general election, Paul St-Pierre Plamondon said, the party will move rapidly to organize another referendum — the third in Quebec history — because in his view the conditions for Quebec to become an independent country have never been clearer and Quebec’s status in Canada has never been bleaker.

He said the Province could be independent by 2030. The PQ was in power in 1980 when it held the first referendum on Quebec's place within Canada and whether Quebec should pursue a path toward sovereignty. 65% of Voters chose to stay within Canada.
