A recent survey by Leger reveals that the ongoing divide between men and women in Quebec regarding support for sovereignty remains apparent.
According to the poll, 42% of men expressed their backing for Quebec becoming an independent nation, while 32% of women shared the same sentiment.
These figures mirror the historical trends observed during the referendums in 1980 and 1995.
Interestingly, the survey indicates that women exhibit greater concerns than men regarding the potential impact of independence, particularly in terms of financial and economic implications.
Notably, if Paul St-Pierre Plamondon, the leader of the Parti Québécois (PQ), emerges victorious in the upcoming Quebec election, he has pledged to initiate a referendum on independence.
