Quebec Premier Plamondon Reaffirms 2030 Independence Referendum Pledge

The Parti Québécois has returned to power in Quebec, though the party failed to secure a legislative majority in the recent election. Premier Paul St-Pierre Plamondon is moving forward with plans for a sovereignty referendum, creating a significant political challenge for Prime Minister Mark Carney. While the minority government status may limit immediate legislative action, the renewed focus on secession is testing national unity.

INFERY / RESEARCH VERDICT

Rating

Buy YES

YES undervaluedSignificant gapMedium confidence

A Conservative seat lead is unlikely, but the Quebec separatist upset and the open qualifying window through the end of 2026 make its probability higher than the market price implies.

“Yes”Fair price range5–58¢

Quebec's separatists have won provincial power, a new challenge to Carney's federal government.
The qualifying window stays open through the end of 2026, so any single published projection update can put the Conservatives ahead.

CURRENT MARKET

Will the Conservatives flip the Liberals for Canada Seats Polls in 2026?

⚠Risk: The call assumes the Quebec upset spreads into federal polling; if the next 338Canada updates keep the Liberal seat lead steady or widening, that swing is not arriving.

Next watch: Watch each new 338Canada federal seat projection in the qualifying window; settlement follows the first update with a strictly higher Conservative number.
