""It'd be a disaster for our country if the separatists got elected. It's as simple as that. We have to be a united Canada right now," Ford said. "There's never been a more important time in our history to make sure that we stand shoulder to shoulder, united," he continued. "Not only it'll be good for Canada, it will be good for Quebecers," Ford said."
"Ontario Premier Doug Ford dipped his toe into Quebec provincial politics Wednesday, suggesting that the election of a separatist party in Quebec would be a 'disaster' for Canada. Ford was speaking at a joint news conference with New Brunswick Premier Susan Holt before a meeting of provincial premiers. That will likely be current Quebec Premier Francois Legault's final first ministers' meeting, as Legault announced earlier this month he would be resigning as premier once his party selects a new leader."
Ontario Premier Doug Ford warned that election of a separatist party in Quebec would be a disaster for Canada and that Canada must remain united. Ford made the remarks at a joint news conference with New Brunswick Premier Susan Holt before a meeting of provincial premiers. Current Quebec Premier Francois Legault plans to resign once his party selects a new leader, making that premiers' meeting likely his last. Parti Quebecois leader Paul St-Pierre Plamondon led in opinion polls ahead of the fall election. St-Pierre Plamondon responded sarcastically and accused Ford of prioritizing Ontario interests.
