Legault: Press Conference and Quebec

legault: It also reflected a historic reversal in Québecois-Jewish relations, according to Rabble. More significantly, it highlighted the dangers of an "empowered sense of vulnerability," a psychological state many Quebeckers and Jews seem to share. This commonality became clear when a prominent right-wing Quebec nationalist politician cited the French language and Jewish sensibilities to criticize immigration and the veil. At the end of August, Coalition Avenir Québec leader Francois Legault called for slashing the number of immigrants to Quebec by 10,000 a year to protect the French language. "I have deep concerns about the survival of French in the long term in Quebec," Legault explained at a press conference. Legault asked how a Jew would feel interrogated by a veiled policewoman. Alongside his anti-immigrant announcement the former Parti Québecois minister criticized the Montreal police for allowing women to wear hijabs on the job. (www.immigrantscanada.com).
