"Somebody that says Quebec is racist needs to know more about Quebec. There is no society in this whole continent which is more welcoming than Quebec," says Bloc Leader Yves-François Blanchet ahead of his meeting with Amira Elghawaby, the federal anti-Islamophobia representative.

You remember this right? When Joyce filmed her death on social medial, as she died being called racial slurs, in a Quebec hospital?

try to order food in Quebec without trying to do it en français first, they will pretend they can't hear you. Quebec refuses to put up English signage, even underneath French. Quebec says it's illegal to wear a hijab or a turban at work if you're a gvmt employee. Welcoming?

I guess having laws about what you can wear and in which contexts your language isn't an affront to mainstream society don't count as unwelcoming or intolerant let alone straight up xenophobic knee-jerk racism so deeply ingrained you think it's your culture

Might not be so racist, if you are a white Quebecer. Nice to see a white guy telling others that they aren't. Somehow it is reassuring, isn't it?

Sure! That's why Quebec was the heartland of the Nazis in Canada pre, during and post WW2!

Ya, I don't think so. It's no more welcoming than any other province, and it's got its share of racists just like any other province. And Bill 21 - wtf is up with that? That's driving a wedge between groups.

⚜️🖕🇨🇦 : I am so fed up with Quebec demanding they get special treatment in Canada, at the expense of everyone else. Are you just as fed up? The Bloc Québécois demand that Quebec tax dollars to only be invested in Quebec. The Bloc Québécois says they must protect key sectors of the Quebec economy & the French language. At the same time Quebec takes in huge sums of taxes from the rest of Canada through a rigged equalization formula that gives Quebec over $13 billion every year in “equalization”. This despite Quebec having a comparable economic strength to British Columbia, which is forced to pay into equalization. Quebec gets to hide their #1 source of natural revenue (Hydro) from the equalization formula, making them poor on paper only. Quebec also gets extra Canadian taxpayer cash for… 💰Immigration 💰Heritage 💰Culture 💰Languages 💰French only government jobs 💰Corporate bailouts 💰SNC Lavalin contracts across 🇨🇦 Meanwhile Quebec demands the rest of Canada shift away from oil & gas to Quebec approve clean energy. This directly hurts Alberta and the rest of Canada that relies on equalization payments, to keep their Provinces from becoming super poor. This also stifled foreign investment because it adds an extra layer of uncertainty to any major oil & gas project. Yet Quebec is quite happy to allow foreign oil to pour into the Canadian economy. Time to treat Quebec like everyone else. There is nothing special about a Province that leeches off the poor, while claiming they're a Nation in waiting.
