Well, those extremist media talks from the two sollitudes are more crude / more prevalent in the anglo medias.
(Worst, those versions are often re-used as is in US medias. Surprising we still have US tourists coming over...)

Up to the point that a majority of Canadians are convinced that anglos in Quebec are way more badly treated (and have less services) than francos outside Quebec.

FWIW, in my 35 years career I worked all accross Canada.

I personnally withnessed what services are actually available to francos... 🙄
Let's say that anglos in Quebec are really lucky - whatever comparaison metrics you want to use.

I just wish Canadians could be more aware of the actual anglo Québécois situation versus francos outside Quebec.

Again, I'll keep flying Air Canada as usual. I really appreciate their business from Montréal. And I just love the A220s - will be flying it to LAX soon. (Hoping it won't get swapped to a 7M8...)

Mr Rousseau was just frankly illustrating the situation in Montréal. Which is no big news, most of us here at FT knew it all along.

Best regards.
