Like everywhere else, we have a bunch of loudmouth idiots who will cause every and all possible ruckus for shits and giggles, yet get all the attention on nearly nonexistent problems and making these into a problem.
And while I am very aware the entire province of Quebec is far and wide, and that some cities and areas throughout the province remain quite obtuse, Montreal is one of the most tolerant cities of the world. It’s not perfect, and it still has a lot of work to do, but still much better than average.
It's not a bunch of loudmouths, it's enough loudmouths and enablers to enact discriminating legislation. Montreal is a wonderful city, I used to visit frequently and lived there for years, but it's hard to call it tolerant when you're banned from half the jobs for your religion. I can tell you even in professional work, in Montreal, the majority of my co-workers supported these types of laws such as the initial bill 21 and it's a big part of why I left.
“This is sending a very clear message to minority communities and faith communities in Quebec, but also around the country: your rights don’t mean anything."
