You're celebrating too soon then. The thing that will characterise them the most will be having rejected the values of both their parents and their descendants. A more visible example of this is how Quebec Boomers liked to give their children hyphenated last names, with both the father's name and the maternal grandfather's name. You'll find people in their late twenties and older with hyphenated names, but the practice has basically died out, so you won't find younger people with that kind of name. I know a few men with hyphenated names who just go by their father's name, for example.

Well the boomers are dying off, so their influence on society has passed to younger generations. As it must. The Catholic church no longer influences politics - mission accomplished since the late 70s to early 80s.

The Catholic Church has no political power in Quebec, and in exchange we now have civilisational decay. At least there's you who thinks it was worth it

There's a reason former PM Jean Chretien had 19 siblings - contraception not allowed. Quebec during the Duplessis era was described as backwards and corrupt. Who wants to go back to those years? But that nightmare was before my time. I didn't experience it firsthand as my mother did.
