The commemoration in 2015 of the 400th anniversary of the “French presence in Ontario,” and the subsequent apology issued by the provincial government the following year for Regulation 17 (which severely curtailed the use of French in the province's schools between 1912 and 1927), generated considerable discursive activity in French Ontario. This activity fostered a number of “narrative conflicts” that reveal competing conceptions of Franco-Ontarians' collective past as well as distinct understandings of historical time. Analyzing these conflicts in the light of the rivalry between competing commemorative poles, being “nation building” and “postcolonialism,” sheds new light on the tensions and debates that structure the relationship Franco-Ontarians have not only with themselves but also with the “other” (anglophone majority, francophone ethnocultual minorities and native peoples).

During the COVID-19 pandemic, the role of experts, surveys and statistics was put at the forefront of the management of the health crisis in Quebec. This situation gives rise to fears of governance by experts (epistocracy) and by numbers (numerocracy). The analysis of the legislation and cases related to public health measures shows that it is complex to conclude to the existence of epistocracy and numeracy. This article proposes a legal framework for analyzing these normative phenomena, namely that of the law of governance. The law of governance offers another explanation for expertise and information, as these are understood as legitimizing data for decisions made during the health crisis. From this perspective, it is less about governance by experts and numbers, but more about governance with experts and numbers.
