“In the last few days, you have seen the real François Legault, the one who doesn’t want to be criticized, the one who doesn’t like being questioned, the one who doesn’t like science, the one who divides,” she said.

During the campaign, Legault linked immigration to violence (a statement he later apologized for) and said it would be “suicidal” for Quebec to allow more than 50,000 immigrants a year.
