Quebecsplaining is back

More to come, starting now

I started this media outlet some time ago, among other projects. Life has happened, and the last two years have been a bit bumpy. To my profound regret, the updates became more and more infrequent. This is not what I had in mind when I created this space, and I want to remedy that.

I will be devoting more time to Quebecsplaining from now on. Most of the time, you will have at least one new post each week to chew on.

There will be elections in Quebec in 2026 that could change not only the trajectory of the province, but that of the country.

To kick things off, I tackled the ultimate political issue in Quebec: do Quebecers wish their province to become a country? And how did they answer the question over the last 50 years? That piece should be online by the time you read this. Next, I’ll comment on the speech that the Parti Québécois leader, Paul St-Pierre Plamondon, gave at the PQ’s last congress in answer to Mark Carney. Then, I will offer a highly detailed analysis of the “decline of French” in Quebec. The debate is often highly emotional; I chose to approach it from a data perspective, punctuated with exclusive charts.

There is a lot more coming on various topics, including education, health care, immigration, Quebec’s less and less representative voting system, and so on.

This is what I want to continue to offer you: a Quebec perspective on Quebec, by a Québécois, but with a different angle from what you will read elsewhere.

Thank you for reading and for your support.
