PQ won't call a referendum until Trump leaves. so... 2029?

As a Canadian accountant I just want to note the timeline. PQ won about 60 seats, short of the 64 needed for a majority in a 127-seat assembly. Plamondon says no referendum until Trump leaves the White House, which per Al Jazeera is January 2029.

So we're planning a referendum around another country's calendar. Very Canadian in a strange way. Support for independence is about 30% in polls, near record lows. This is going to be a long, slow conversation.
