Quebec provincial election
The separatist Parti Québécois won Quebec's provincial election but fell short of a majority. Leader Paul St-Pierre Plamondon says he will not back down on holding an independence referendum by 2030, though polls suggest only about 30% of Quebecers want independence. The result tests PM Carney's unity message.
