In at least the past 20 years, excluding Harper's #prorogation in 2008 to prevent the LPC-NDP-BQ coalition non-confidence motion to replace his government, in the year preceding the election Québec Parliament/Government has made efforts to enforce the use of French at the expense of its Anglophone population.

It seems a lamentable, but not unexpected, strategy re-used because it the parties in charge at the time keep getting away with it.
