Parti Québécois Election Would Be ‘a Disaster’ for Canada, Says Doug Ford
Ford warns that PQ’s referendum pledge by 2030 threatens national unity amid rising separatist movements in Alberta and economic pressures from the U.S.
- On Jan. 28, 2026, Ontario Premier Doug Ford warned at an Ottawa press conference that a Parti Québécois election win would be a disaster for Canada.
- Citing external pressure, Ford pointed to economic threats from Donald Trump, Alberta separatist petition drives, and last year's referendum threshold change to 10 per cent.
- Other provincial leaders added that Canada is stronger with Quebec included, with Ford saying `Not only it'll be good for Canada, it will be good for Quebecers`.
- With CAQ leadership chosen on April 12, Quebec Premier François Legault is set to resign later this year, making the upcoming first ministers' meeting likely his last.
- Despite strong polling, support for independence lags, with opinion polls showing about two-thirds of Quebec voters oppose sovereignty though younger voters' support has risen in recent months.
