To «illustrate» his point in his opinion piece, Potter resorted to writing outright lies, then signed it as Director of a McGill institue. Smooth move.  Lies are lies, even when the liar later calls them «rhetorical flourish». None of this reflects badly on Québec society (where no-one called for his resignation). It reflects on McLean's, which is quite happy to publish lies - to please the bigots among  its readership. They have done it before.
