The independance movement is probably the weakest it's ever been in 50 years. If anything, this situation is like a perfect representation of that shift: instead of any grand national vision or message, we are relegated to passing bullshit pandering laws to stroke the ubiquitous québécois "slack-nationalism" and pretend we are still doing something(tm). Anything more political than that would be unimaginable in 2022 Québec. The days of visionary superprojects, state building and grand leaders are long gone. So we circle back to panicking over store clerks saying bonjour/hi instead of... bonjour, and preserving french by refusing to provide important services to freshly arrived immigrants. That sure will help them integrate into the local culture! Petit peuple indeed!
