Carillon Sacré-Coeur

An early version of the current day flag of Québec which includes both nationalistic and religious imagery such as the Sacred Heart of Jesus. It was used by French Catholic nationalists from 1903 to 1935. It continues to find use with contemporary ultra-nationalist, traditionalist Catholic groups who view it as a symbol of Québec’s past. The flag often appears online with images of past Québec Premier Maurice Duplessis, or hung on the walls of far-right content producers.
Like other Canadian flags that have been appropriated, the Carillon Sacré Coeur is not an inherently hateful symbol, and continues to be used by some mainstream civil society institutions in Québec today. Context must be taken into account when evaluating its appearance.
