STIGMATIZING QUEBEC'S INDIAN COMMUNITY

Thursday's front page of the province's most popular daily newspaper was denounced by all parties in the National Assembly, who said it stigmatized Quebec's Indian community.

The premier also weighed in, though his comments were less forceful than those by opposition party members and one of his own ministers.

The Journal de Montréal featured a photo on its cover of Prime Minister Justin Trudeau from his 2018 trip to India. He is wearing a traditional Indian outfit and holding his hands together.

The headline reads, in French: "The Indian variant is here," with a line below that appears to question Trudeau's reluctance to stop incoming flights from India.
