I was really afraid this thread would turn into a typical /r/Canada type Québec bashing thread.

I'm so happy to see some nuanced opinions on the subject instead where people don't see it as all black and white.

I have good hope for the Lemmy community.

[...] Bastien filed a human rights complaint for racism after being denied a job opportunity as a white man. The role was only open to women, Indigenous people, people with disabilities and people of colour.

Hard to have a nuanced opinion with things like this. I agree that the position shouldn't exist and we should be free of the monarchy, but it seems the priorities are extremely wrong and they are just using the bilingual law for their agenda.
