Mathieu Lacombe

Yeah.

And so one of the ministers within the CAQ government, or former ministers, outgoing ministers, his name is Mathieu Lacombe, and he was the minister, or currently is, because until the next ministers are sworn in, the, the current ministers still hold their role.

Mm-hmm.

So he's a CAQ minister of culture and communications, and he actually went to a party with the PQ-

And this proved to be something of a, of a, of a, kind of a, of a problem.

Uh, uh, or, or an embarrassment for, uh, the, uh, the, the now ex, uh, minister of culture, Mathieu Lacombe, who was a part of the, you know, the, the, the Legault government.

However, he was an avowed sovereigntist.

Anyway, long story short, he gets busted.

And, and one of the things I've expressed on the show is my fear that the really toxic, uh, political, um, uh, traditions or, you know, politi- political norm- normalcies that CAQ created, the idea of, of completely normalized discrimination, the idea that it's, you can get away with saying borderline racist comments and blaming other people who don't look or sound or speak like you for the problems that you yourself created in this province.

I'm, I'm hoping that will, you know, s- swirl down the toilet with the rest of, of this party, but the fact of the matter is, it probably won't.

And, and when you see this kind of insouciance, for example, on the part of people like Mathieu Lacombe, like, "It doesn't make any difference now.

You know, I'll, I'll do what I want," you really realize just how awful- This government was just how absolutely indifferent to any of, of, of the, the kind of guardrails that most people would think exist for government, but in fact they crossed them on a regular basis and, and they got elected to two terms.
