Quebec Separatists Delay Independence Vote Until After Trump Leaves Office

18 Ağustos 2026Bloomberg

The leading separatist party in Quebec has announced that it will postpone any referendum on independence from Canada until after Donald Trump has left office. This decision comes as the party prepares for the upcoming October elections, where it is currently polling favorably.
The timing indicates a strategic approach to avoid potential backlash linked to Trump's influence on U.S.-Canada relations.
Quebec has a long history of separatist movements, and the political landscape is often influenced by external factors, including U.S. The current separatist party's stance suggests an awareness of how international dynamics can affect local sentiments regarding independence.
The separatist party's decision to delay the independence referendum reflects a calculated political strategy. By distancing their plans from Trump's presidency, they may be attempting to mitigate fears of instability and economic repercussions that could arise from a contentious independence vote.
