The separatist Parti Québécois is projected to win a minority government in Quebec's provincial election, adding a new test to Canadian unity. The party has vowed to pursue an independence referendum in the coming years, raising fresh questions about Quebec's relationship with the rest of Canada. The result reflects renewed momentum for the sovereigntist movement in the province and is being closely watched both within Canada and internationally given its implications for national cohesion and future political stability.
