Canada's version of Rupert Murdoch, media mogul Pierre Karl Peladeau has decided to run for office under the banner of the Parti Quebecois separatists. This raises the possibility of another referendum on Quebec independence.
Two such referenda occurred in 1980 and 1995 and both failed, in the latter case very narrowly. The entry of M. Peladeau into Quebec politics has caused a new round of speculation about a third referendum.
As a PQ pol once crowed to an opponent of independence, "You have to win every referendum, I only have to win once." Expect PQ to keep trying until they do.
