The Parti Québécois, which held only seven seats in the outgoing legislature, won 59 of 127 seats and will form Quebec’s next government. Its 28 percent share is the lowest ever to carry a party to power in the province, and the CAQ lost all 79 of its seats.
Leader Paul St-Pierre Plamondon promises a referendum on independence, but not while Donald Trump is in the White House. Polls put support for independence at around 30 percent.
