Rajoutez à cela toutes celles qui le font sans que je ne sois au courant... Mais qu’est-ce qu’il se passe?

The Delightful Perversity of Québec's Catholic Swears
Québec is bilingual, but reluctantly. As a French province with small pockets of English, and a few larger pockets that will willingly use both languages, the signs, by law, are in French. The language on the street is French. Ordering food or browsing a store will likely involve some amount of standard conversational French, and should you get in trouble with the law, it's going to be time to find a Francophile lawyer. The profanity, though, is pure Québec.

« Nègres blancs » et Autochtones : un dialogue nécessaire
Les révélations de l’émission Enquête ont eu l’effet d’une bombe, avec raison. Mais au-delà du choc initial, cette crise doit être l’occasion d’une réflexion en profondeur sur les rapports entre le peuple québécois et les peuples des Premières Nations. On est habitué d’entendre certains politiciens parler du Québec comme d’un cas « exemplaire ». Au Canada anglais (rien de surprenant), on dit souvent l’inverse : la société québécoise serait insensible aux enjeux autochtones.

Le droit d’être méchant a un prix
Si la loi doit tolérer que des propos dérangeants soient émis dans l’espace public, la société civile, elle, a le devoir de se mobiliser lorsque certains dépassent les bornes : en matière de liberté d’expression, la force de la mobilisation citoyenne et la vigilance du débat public doivent être proportionnelles à la tolérance de l’État.
