> Parti Québécois leader Paul St-Pierre Plamondon will become Quebec’s premier after the party won a minority government with just under 30% of the vote. He has pledged not to hold an independence referendum until after U.S. President Donald Trump leaves the White House. Political commentators consider what the result means for national unity and Quebec’s future.
