Parti Québécois, the party advocating Quebec independence, is poised to win the province's election, according to a New York Times report. Even so, a majority of Quebecers appear unlikely to back another referendum on sovereignty, with many voters supporting the party for other reasons.
Why now: Quebec's provincial election is happening now, and a sovereigntist victory is a major shift in Canadian politics.
