Doug Ford warns Quebec separatist win would be disaster

Ontario Premier Doug Ford stepped into Quebec politics in Ottawa on Wednesday, warning that a Parti Québécois victory in the upcoming fall provincial election would be a disaster for Canada. Ford said unity is essential as Quebec’s separatist PQ, led by Paul St‑Pierre Plamondon, currently tops opinion polls. The context follows Quebec premier François Legault’s resignation announcement, leaving the CAQ in search of a new leader. Other premiers—New Brunswick’s Susan Holt, Nova Scotia’s Tim Houston, British Columbia’s David Eby, Manitoba’s Wab Kinew—echoed Ford’s call for cooperation. While PQ dominance is clear, about two‑thirds of Quebec voters oppose full sovereignty, underscoring the tension between electoral success and separatist ambitions.
