Quebec Premier François Legault speaks to reporters at the National Assembly on Thursday in Quebec City.
Why is Quebec's premier trying to push the Bloc to bring down the Trudeau government?While François Legault is being clear about the main reason he'd like to see a federal election triggered, one of his political opponents is calling it an act of desperation.Quebec's premier appears to want a federal election to take place sooner rather than later.
In his statement, Legault stopped short of directly asking Bloc Leader Yves-François Blanchet to vote against the Trudeau government in the non-confidence motion. Instead, he appeared to try to put pressure on Parti Québécois Leader Paul St-Pierre Plamondon. Legault walked away without fielding any questions as reporters tried to get him to answer whether he felt Quebec would be in better hands with Pierre Poilievre's Conservatives in power.WATCH | Blanchet's response to Legault:0:48
