I debated whether or not it was worth publishing this piece. I would like to preface this by saying that I am in no way criticizing the Quebecois culture or the people of Quebec by any means. I value multiculturalism and understand the importance of bilingualism to Canada. I myself speak French and have ancestors from Quebec as well as family residing there. Moreover, I recognize the value Quebecois culture has to the rest of Canada.
I have never, and did not think I would have to put a “trigger warning” in any column about a hockey team.
