A nice place to live as long as you’re not black or Latino

——————————————————————————–

Politicians never tire of repeating that Quebec is a tolerant, inclusive place. Mind you, that doesn’t include those who don’t fit in. It doesn’t include those who don’t really agree with the provincial (oops, sorry, »national») consensus. For instance, that Quebec is a one-of-a-kind nation worthy of special status, not just a province like the others.

If you’ve ever found yourself among soft-nationalist francophones, trying to defend the notion that while it is different from Manitoba or Nova Scotia, Quebec is nevertheless one of 10 Canadian provinces, you know exactly what I mean.

For the majority of French-speaking Quebecers, being different from English Canadians – which they are – is not enough. They have to be more different from the anglos than the anglos are from them. Their difference has to be officially recognized and, preferably, should translate into more power, more money and more influence than citizens in the rest of Canada have to be content with. And if you reply that folks in Alberta feel as different from their Ontario counterparts as Quebecers do, well, c’est pas pareil.

Many francophone Quebecers have trouble believing – and more trouble caring – that some Albertans feel alienated from Ottawa and its centralizing politicians to the point that they’re considering separation. Why, they’re all anglos. How could Albertans separate?

So there. There’s no need to discuss any of that stuff. On the whole, francophone Quebecers do not read English-Canadian newspapers (try to find a copy of the National Post in Trois Rivières) and do not watch English-Canadian news shows, so they don’t really know what’s going on in the rest of the country except for what French-language Quebec media tell them. Naturally, they believe the rest of Canada is a giant homogenous entity from which their elected representatives should get money and other concessions.

Among its bad effects, this isolation reinforces preconceived notions of Quebecers as the perpetual underdogs who need strong men in office to look after them and protect their interests. Try, then, to point out that certain Quebec policies or public figures are either intolerant (language restrictions imposed by Bill 101) or bordering on the xenophobic (Jacques Parizeau’s money and ethnic votes). And, as the late Mordecai Richler demonstrated, stand by for a dose of tar and feathers.

Another national consensus you can’t challenge is that Quebec is a modern, inclusive society that’s open to the world. How often have you heard politicians, especially those with a nationalist bent, repeat that Quebec is an immigration-friendly place where people from all over the world are welcome to live and work? And they’re right, except for the »welcome to live and work» part.

La Presse reported on Tuesday that a study conducted by the Association for Canadian Studies shows Quebec is one of the worst places in North America for blacks and Latinos to find employment.

Out of 56 states and provinces surveyed in 2001, Quebec came in 53rd, ahead of only West Virginia, Oregon and Wisconsin. The unemployment rate for black job-seekers in Quebec that year was 9.3-per-cent higher than that for white job-seekers (»white» being defined as having declared no ethnic heritage).

The unemployment rate in Quebec for Latinos in 2001 was seven-per-cent higher than that of whites, placing our very own inclusive and tolerant nation in 55th place, just ahead of Rhode Island.

Commenting on the results, the association’s executive director Jack Jedwab said that while discrimination alone can’t explain Quebec’s poor showing, »it’s possible that linguistic considerations are a factor.»

You bet.

And I would love to see more research done for other linguistic or visible-minority groups. The same study shows the overall unemployment rate in Quebec at 8.2 per cent in 2001, while the rate for whites was only 7.8 per cent. The tragedy is that while most Quebecers say they value openness, their conviction that they are immigrant-friendly blinds them to the fact that they’re not.

If there’s a lesson to be learned from this, it’s that Quebec is a very tolerant place, an inclusive nation open to the world – except for those who don’t agree with this consensus.
