Parti Québécois Wins Minority, Revives Quebec Sovereignty Push

This outcome confirms a renewed push for Quebec sovereignty and a potential independence referendum, though the lack of a majority will likely moderate the immediate pace of these efforts. The situation introduces political uncertainty for Canadian federal politics and Prime Minister Mark Carney's national unity agenda.
