Within Canada, people such as Howard Galganov, a former radio personality, and the journalist Diane Francis have gained a reputation for their anti-Quebec opinions. The author Mordecai Richler, known for his fiction as well as essays, wrote a number of articles published in the United States and Great Britain, which many Québécois separatists considered offensive.
Outside the English-speaking world, three articles harshly critical of Quebec were published in German newspapers during the 1990s: "A Quebec as antisemite as 50 years ago" in the Süddeutsche Zeitung; "Empty shop windows, barricaded doors and hate graffitis" in the Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung; and "Hello Montreal, and goodbye forever!" in Die Welt, three of the largest newspapers in Germany.
Unfavourable depictions of Quebec have been made in books such as Bilingual Today, French Tomorrow, as well as political cartoons. Another example of Quebec bashing is found in pop culture: Don Cherry, a sports commentator on the CBC, has occasionally been accused of Quebec bashing. In 2006, articles labeled as "Quebec bashing" sparked controversies: Barbara Kay's August 9 "The rise of Quebecistan" in The National Post and Jan Wong's September 16 "Get under the desk" in The Globe and Mail. The Globe and Mail and The National Post, Canada's two national newspapers, are both Toronto-based publications.
