Quebec immigration minister wants to relegate multiculturalism to the ‘dustbin of history’

"He says the legislation will relegate Canadian multiculturalism to the 'dustbin of history.'
'Multiculturalism no longer applies on Quebec soil, finally! (…) It’s a model that has always been harmful to Quebec,' Roberge declared Wednesday at the National Assembly.
According to him, under that model, the state takes it upon itself to allow newcomers to retain their culture and language of origin.
'That’s Canadian multiculturalism. We live alongside one another,' he explained.
His new law — inspired by interculturalism — aims to signal to immigrants that they are 'arriving in a state with its own model of integration' and that they must accept Quebec’s social contract, which is based on values such as democracy, the French language, gender equality, and secularism.'
'Otherwise, well, it’s not a good idea to come here,' Roberge said. "
Ces gars-là sont autant fucking raciste que les plus dumbs MAGA
I've got mixed feelings about this. On one hand I mostly like the idea of the Quebec social contract, the whole "democracy, the French language, gender equality, and secularism" bit.
But how would this be fairly enforced? What would make a person gender equality-y enough? Or pro-democratic enough? I think the secularism is the most egregious. I'm secular myself, but I don't think its morally right to try to take that away from other people, so long as their beliefs don't hurt others.
It really does read as targeting a particular religous/cultural ethnic group :(
Because it is. The CAQ have the same talking points the MAGA have, fear of woke, fear of hijab and little bit of separatism. They try to make people that only read Journal de Montréal angrier to sell them a bullshit solution
