  Cool, I’m curious what the backend stack was ? Java, c# ?

    No it's a huge Wordpress application. Started in 2016 and released in 2017. It's not ideal but it ended up being great. A huge part of the website is actually blog posts so it was a good match. I did not start the project and choose the tech but I ended up doing a large part of the project and led it when the lead dev quit (for unrelated reasons). I had lots of problems with the government hoster (CSPQ) but it all worked out in the end. It's the CALQ's website by the way.

        It's not a critical infrastructure at all, it's just an info portal. It used to be a full html website made with Microsoft Frontpage by one lady who works there. We use PHP so that instead of a single huge html page filled with info which is useless for 90% of the people who'd read it, we ask your profile and then we filter only the relevant information.
