QUEBEC — Fed up with waiting for action on the issue of temporary immigration, Premier François Legault called on the Parti Québécois Thursday to pressure its federal cousins in the Bloc Québécois to bring down the Trudeau government.

Quebec Premier François Legault on Thursday urged the Bloc Québécois to help topple the federal Liberal government and trigger an election, saying Prime Minister Justin Trudeau continues to disrespect the will of the province.

Speaking to reporters Thursday morning, Legault called on Parti Québécois Leader Paul St-Pierre Plamondon to “have some courage” and tell his “comrades” in Ottawa to vote for a non-confidence motion that will be put forward by the Conservatives next week.

It remains no. I am neither Conservative, nor Liberal… nor a Caquiste,” Blanchet said in a social media post in French, referring to a nickname for supporters of Legault’s Coalition Avenir Québec.
