No referendum with Trump around, says PQ ahead of October election

[Dr Strangelove]

Party leader says he wants to avoid having issue 'hijacked by the ups and downs of American politics'

Trump’s unpredictability could hijack the debate.

Fear campaigns and U.S. turbulence would distort the discussion.

Québec needs a calm, informed environment for such a major decision.

The PQ still promises a referendum in its first mandate, but only after Trump leaves office.
