For people who follow Quebec politics, the widespread negative response to the question, which described two Quebec laws as discriminatory, wasn't a surprise.
Bill 96 is a language law reform currently before the Quebec legislature, while Bill 21 refers to the secularism law that came into effect in 2019 and bars certain government employees, including teachers and police officers, from wearing religious symbols on the job. The suggestion that Quebec in particular has a problem with racism reinforces the widespread perception in the province that English-Canadian media takes a condescending tone when talking about Quebec issues, he said.
But it's not just nationalists who have criticized the question, Beland said. It's also drawn criticism from opponents of Bill 21 who say that because it was seen to be an attack on Quebec, it makes it harder for people in the province who oppose the law. Premier Legault, who refers to himself as a nationalist and campaigned on a promise of putting Quebec first within Canada, has been particularly critical of Kurl's question, calling it "unacceptable."
The answer is simple. They had enough votes in Quebec to create a federal party. It’s how our system works. It’s wrong and I don’t agree but it is our system.
Quebec leaders reserve the right to disrespect, insult and interfere in other jurisdictions and or people's affairs but don't you dare do it to them.

Well...
Explain: Why is the Bloc not considered treasonous? Why is that province at the Federal table? As a taxpayer why are we supporting a Party that wants to separate? What if other provinces want to be at the Federal table?
