The 1970s were not the good old days for most francophone Québécois.
Yes the group's status was ascendant and improving at the time but there were lots of political and social tensions, more crime than today and a divisive push and pull between old and new ways. And still fairly widespread inequalities.
If anything the good old days for Québécois francophones are now.
