Building on three Quebec scenes that are seemingly independent from one another, this article intends to think the durée (“duration”) of the onto-political colonial and racial structure constitutive of the imagined and desired national space in formation since the project called New-France. First, thinking with Pierre Coriolan's death and Sindy Ruperthouse's disappearance, the contemporary mechanisms of colonial and racial violence are examined as the reconfiguration of what precedes, that is, slavery and genocidal colonization. Second, the racialized ontological antagonisms and relational positions in the Americas are considered in the specific context of Quebec, to then locate within them the figure of the Arab-Muslim threat that the third scene, the scandal that followed a prayer in a cabane à sucre, unfolds. This figure is itself to be located within orientalism's and Islamophobia's durée, but also to be examined for what it does to the durée, maintaining it future-oriented.

Much of Canada was colonized by France long before the arrival of the British in the mid-eighteenth century. This article examines how France's assertion of sovereignty impacts the regime of Aboriginal title recognized under Canadian law of British origin. In the first section, the author highlights a jurisprudential trend that assesses Indigenous territorial control at the time of British sovereignty's assertion, rather than during French occupation, when applying the criterion of exclusive control—a key factor in recognizing Aboriginal title. They then illustrate how this approach risks undermining claims to ancestral title by Indigenous peoples whose ancestors lost exclusive control of their territory under the French colonial regime.
