📍 Aftermath

The coverage ended with the Parti Québécois leading a crowded field and positioned to potentially form a separatist government that would promise a referendum, even though winning a majority with less than a third of the vote was described as “super unprecedented.” Analysts noted the race remained close and that independence, while a central theme, was still a hard sell. No definitive election outcome was reported before the trend went quiet.
