Quebec Elects First Female Premier
Unclear yet which party has clinched the majority
Parti Québécois Leader Pauline Marois is now slated to become Quebec's first female premier, though it remains unclear whether her party has clinched a majority in an intensely fought Quebec provincial election that could usher a new phase of confrontations in the national unity debate.
Three television networks, Radio-Canada, TVA and CTV, have called the PQ as winners of the election.
