I dunno, the Quebec je ne sais qoi and the small minded right-wing/populist Quebec nationalists often don’t seem to share the same culture.

- sudosysgen 5y agoQuébec cultural protectionism is very strong in left wing circles as well. It's really only the federalist center that caters to Anglophone montrealers that is less on board.
- ant6n 5y agoQuebec left wing circles can be quite right wing/populist when it comes to language issues and nationalism. Political views don’t exist along a single linear spectrum.
- sudosysgen 5y agoHmm, not sure it's quite right wing. Left wing nationalism is actually a pretty big thing in the world outside of the anglosphere and some parts of Western Europe. I'm not sure I'd apply a left-wing / right-wing label to it. A lot of people see French as a minority language in Canada that must be protected, others see it as an issue of pure nationalism, it can come from a lot of directions. It's not unique to Québec either, similar programs exist among linguistic minorities in Africa, Eastern Europe and even Asia.
