The Coalition Avenir Québec is Quebec’s centre-right party, guiding policy on constitutional status, economy, and social issues.
Albertans head to a Monday vote on whether to remain in Canada or trigger a future referendum on independence. Premier Danielle Smith and Conservative challengers frame the vote as a test of national unity and economic resilience against U.S. tariffs and global pressures. Pro-independence voices warn of sovereignty loss, while Ottawa emphasizes cooperation with a minority Quebec government.
