Quebec not only has a distinct history as a nation and a unique identity in terms of political sovereignty, but it has a unique identity in hockey too, where it dominated for the first 70 years of organized hockey. Pretending like this is some random province that we're giving preference to is either bad faith or misinformed. Quebec existed long before Canada as we know it, and I think people who have no knowledge of the situation popping in and saying its not a real country so this is cringe is just insane.
