Once a separatist, always a separatist.  That appeared to be Jean Charest's warning to anyone suggesting that anglophone Quebecers should vote strategically against the Liberals and for Francois Legault's CAQ party.

Jean Charest warns that there are two ways to get another sovereignty referendum in Quebec. One way is to vote for any party other than the Quebec Liberals.  The other way, says Charest is to not vote at all.

As for the CAQ and Francois Legault, the premier says Legault has always been a separatist and will still be a separatist after election day, come what mayP

One reporter asked the Premier what his Liberals will do for anglos. Charest answered only that his liberals have long been supportive of key anglo institutions, like McGill and Concordia universities

With that, the Premier thanked reporters and walked away, abruptly ending the news conference.
