Anti-Quebec sentiment is opposition or hostility expressed toward the government, culture, or the francophone people of Quebec.
The French-language media has termed as Quebec bashing[1] what it perceives as defamatory anti-Quebec coverage in the English-language media. They cite examples mostly from the English-Canadian media, and occasionally in coverage from other countries, often based on Canadian sources.[2]
Some representatives of the French-language media in Quebec believe that an unfavourable depiction of the province by the media had increased since the unsuccessful 1995 Quebec referendum on independence.[3][4] This is not supported by documented evidence.
The scope or the level at which the expression of extreme or virulent anti-Quebec opinion represents an opinion widely held in English Canada has been debated by moderate federalist elements in the French-speaking media.[5] Some commentators have said that allegations of Quebec-bashing are an over-reaction to the usual attacks in heated politics.[6][7]
