Canada talks back on track
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Ottawa (Reuter) - A plan to guarantee Quebec a quarter of the seats in Canada's parliament appeared to break a deadlock yesterday in constitutional negotiations aimed at resolving a separatist threat.
The plan raised hopes for an agreement before Quebec's referendum in October that could lead to the break-up of the country. Western provinces want an upper house modelled on the US Senate with equal representation for all 10 provinces. Quebec would be recognised as a distinct society within Canada.
