In 1912, Charles Maurras mentioned in the Parisian publication l'Action française "the importance of anti-Semitism in Quebec City." A city founded on a strong ethno-linguistic duality, Quebec City's character changed considerably at the turn of the 20th century. Industrialization, immigration, the predominant conception of the nation-state and the magisterium of the Church upset a city that seemed to be experiencing a difficult transition. Ridden with anxiety, a certain elite is attacking a vulnerable minority on a daily basis. Thus a noisy anti-Semitism takes shape, regularly feeding a chimerical representation of the Jew which, by the effect of imbalance between reality and the imaginary, between truth and lies, generates nocuous tensions.
