Quebec's Separatist Win, With Most Quebecers Against Secession
For the first time in over a decade, Quebec has elected a separatist party in its provincial elections, even though most Quebecers don't want to secede from Canada. CBC's Andrew Chang traces the result to the fall of the incumbent Coalition Avenir Québec, which led to the rise of the Parti Québécois.

Take
Two questions were effectively on the ballot: whether to be done with the sitting government, and whether to leave Canada. Voters seem to have answered the first without endorsing the second.
Pushback
True, but the party that now governs the province is still a separatist one. Sovereignty can be a separate issue on the campaign trail and still sit inside the government that won.
