Parti Québécois Says It Won’t Hold Referendum on Sovereignty While Trump Is President
St-Pierre Plamondon is expected to address whether he would hold a referendum as a new poll shows the Parti Québécois losing ground.
- On Tuesday, Parti Québécois Leader Paul St-Pierre Plamondon is scheduled to address Quebecers via social media with an "important statement" regarding a potential referendum on the independence of Quebec.
- St-Pierre Plamondon, who leads in voting intentions ahead of the October 5 general election, has consistently promised to hold an independence referendum if his party forms a government.
- In a recent letter, St-Pierre Plamondon stated he heard from Anglophones who "share the same realities and concerns" as Francophones, though a recent Angus Reid poll shows only 15 per cent would "definitely vote to leave."
- The separatist leader stated his party would not call a referendum until Donald Trump leaves the White House, arguing the unpredictable American administration could disrupt a clear and serene debate.
- This announcement arrives as political parties prepare for the official launch of the Quebec general election campaign next week, with voters scheduled to head to the polls on October 5.
