This is the Quebec government, it doesn't get any more grossly incompetent. The only question is what took so long

Please keep regional flamewar off HN.

I think that that comment is being misinterpreted.

It doesn't seem to me to be an attempt at inciting a "regional flamewar".

The sentiment it describes is quite strongly held by people from and in that region, especially by those who've unfortunately experienced it first-hand for themselves.

That's a reasonable point, but most people (or at least many people) in $region are going to interpret such a comment as a regional attack even if it wasn't intended that way. Most people's identity has something to do with where they live.

> it doesn't get any more grossly incompetent

Unless you are referring to tech in particular, that seems very harsh. The ministry of digital transformation is a shitshow, but the governement itself has not done anything that would warrant the label "grossly incompetent".

I beg to disagree. It's hard to imagine handling the education and health portfolios worse than this provincial government has.

Quebec has the best life expectancy in the americas. It's PISA scores are above the canadian average, which is itself close to best in the whole world.

It's easy to imagine for those who've lived in provinces under an NDP government.

Um, healthcare, infrastructure... being completely absorbed in racism and anti Anglo hysteria, the GP comment is to nice if anything

[GinsengJar]

The QC government isn't the worst, but their prospects have been scary for someone like me.

I'd rather not be a second class citizen for being raised with the "wrong language".

Obviously you're not a taxpayer here
