Quebec premier-designate refuses oath to King Charles III, citing foreign rule

Parti Québécois leader Paul Saint-Pierre Plamondon, set to become Quebec's premier, announced he will not swear allegiance to King Charles III upon taking office, calling it 'abnormal' for a foreign monarch to dictate to Quebec. He has requested a legal opinion on the matter, signaling a potential constitutional confrontation with the Crown. This marks a notable break from convention and could reignite sovereignty debates in Canada.
