3. No doubt Parti Quebecois ilk.

Parti Quebecois is inheritantly racist.

In 1995, I remember PQ Premier Jacques Parizeau blaming the “ethnic vote” for the defeat of the separation referendum.

4. edit. people say the women wrote "keep state secular" rather than a racist slur

5. Here is the story from the news

Video shows 2 women defacing election sign for Québec Solidaire Muslim candidate: https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/montreal/election-sign-vandalism-1.4845114

Timothy Merlis says he was jogging along St-Viateur Street in Outremont Sunday when he saw two women vandalizing election signs for Ève Torrès, a Québec Solidaire candidate who is Muslim.

Merlis has now filed a complaint to Quebec's chief electoral officer (DGEQ) and shared video he took of the two women.

In the video, one of the women pulls down the sign to write "un État laïc (a secular state)" on Torrès's headscarf, while the other looks at Merlis and laughs.

Merlis, a McGill University associate professor, says he saw them deface another sign before that. He says he "was upset by their Islamophobic actions," and that he believed the vandalism was illegal, prompting him to notify the DGEQ.
