On day 31 of an election campaign, Quebec's party leaders dropped everything and went to Gatineau to offer assistance and tour the devastation left in the wake of a violent tornado that ripped through the area Friday afternoon. Soon after the tornado touched down, Premier Philippe Couillard tweeted, "I will suspend my campaign tomorrow morning to go to the Outaouais to meet the citizens affected by this tornado and to talk with the municipal authorities and the civil security stakeholders on the ground." People collect personal effects from damaged homes after a tornado touched down in Ottawa's Dunrobin neighbourhood on Friday, Sept. 21, 2018. Early Saturday, he reminded reporters that, as leader of the opposition, when there was a flood, he went. He said that with climate change, more incidents like this will happen, and that this increases the pressure on cities like Gatineau.
