François Legault sparks outrage with message for ‘historic’ English-speaking Quebecers
Description
October 20, 2021
Premier François Legault's 45 second message for Quebec's historic English-speaking community during Tuesday's inaugural speech is causing outrage. Some people have called it patronizing and self-serving. He's since been asked to define what he meant by "historic" English-speakers. But as Global’s Raquel Fletcher reports, his answer has only added fuel to the fire.
