Parti Québécois stays course on referendum despite Carney’s call for unity
January 23, 2026
On the heels of Prime Minister Mark Carney’s call for unity in Quebec City on Thursday, the Parti Québécois is laying out a roadmap ahead of the coming provincial election with a promise of a referendum at its heart.
Members of the sovereigntist party will gather this weekend at a convention in St-Hyacinthe, a small city east of Montreal, to vote on the party’s “national project” – a suite of policies that opens with an “unambiguous” promise to hold a third referendum on independence.
