Seriously? Now you are gonna blame McGill for "caving in" to those bad tribal Quebeckers? 

Andrew Potter, to his enormous credit:
- admitted that most of his text was built around rhetorics instead of facts;
- apologized for writing such a terrible article.

As a result, he decided to step down not as a professor, but as head of the institute of... Canadian studies, of all institutes! Do I think he should have? It's irrelevant. He felt like he should, and it's not a crazy decision at all.

By the way, I think it is worth wondering whether those same people would also be so up in arms in the name of "freedom" of expression if in this Maclean's article, one would have read "Muslim community or "Jewish community or "Black community" instead of "Quebec community". Rightly, it would have universally been seen as a terrible, discriminatory piece. Generalizations and associations of this type are bad, that's as simple as that.
