(CityNews) Communities in Quebec are speaking out as the province’s premier said he and his party oppose multiculturalism.
Quebec’s Premier François Legault said recently that he and his party oppose multiculturalism, adding that in Quebec there is only one culture that is the Quebec culture — leaving many communities calling the statement and the CAQ out of touch with true Quebecois culture, one that thrives on diversity.
“It’s all the cultures coming together … that’s what makes Quebec,” says Harginder Kaur, vice president of the World Sikh Organization of Canada. “Quebec has always been an open state, an open province. That is not Quebec the way that they’re painting it. That’s not Quebec.”
