Victory for separatist Parti Québécois would present a new political test for Carney

The Parti Québécois's potential victory in an upcoming election could spell trouble for Prime Minister Mark Carney and his federal government, as it hasn't been a major issue on the national political agenda for over ten years. If the separatist party wins, it could reignite tensions between Quebec and the rest of Canada, challenging Carney's leadership and raising questions about national unity. This outcome underscores the long-standing cultural and political divisions within the country and may force Carney to address these issues head-on, which could impact federal policies and relations with Quebec.
