The pulse of Quebec’s political landscape is shifting—not with the thunder of protests, but with the quiet precision of policy. New legislation emerging from Montreal and Quebec City reflects a deeper recalibration, one where ethnonational identity is no longer a cultural footnote but a legislative force. Voters, once divided along urban-rural or generational lines, now confront a new fault line: one drawn not by geography alone, but by shared memory, language, and a collective sense of belonging.
