I am reminded of what Pierre Elliott Trudeau said before the 1980 Referendum after Rene Levesque mocked his middle name for being too Anglophone. The logic of "Quebecois de souche" rejects anyone whose bloodline isn't pure New France going back to 1759: https://www.collectionscanada.gc.ca/primeministers/h4-4083-e.html …pic.twitter.com/wUOcpCesD0
Let me reiterate: the term "québecois de souche", as used by that woman, is so exclusionary that Pierre Elliott Trudeau, the most Quebecois of Canadian giants, does not count as québecois de souche. And neither does his son, Justin.
You are pushing way too far. De souche can obviously be used in an exclusionary manner (like any group designation), but it does not have to. You also focus way too much on this dead tree thing. The word evokes many other things than just one of the things it is used to designate
Now, the women in the video probably did use the expression in a racist manner (I did not watch the video, too busy), but it is important not to confuse everything and assume that “de souche” is necessarily a bad expression. A lot of Quebecois are now twisting the expression in
Na. She is talking about the video you were too busy to watch, despite having so much time to tweet about how she got it all wrong. Nothing you've said fits the actual context of the video you, again, are too busy to watch.
Heather explicitly says the term "as used by that woman" so let's not talk abstracts. At issue is a very specific, recent exchange with the PM, where he is being criticized for calling racism out.
Potentially further to your point around the 1:00 mark she shouts “you don’t belong in Quebec”. Not sure whether she was addressing Trudeau or potentially the RCMP officer.
My mom's family were one of the "first families". I found out by accident, when my cousin was diagnosed with "Founders Disease". Apparently the gene pool wasn't big enough to avoid dangerous mutations.... Just sayin...diversity is good ;)
My husband is a direct descendant (twice, lol) of Adrienne duVivier. His grandfather would have been "de souche" but he married a half-Irish girl.
Wow. You presume to know a lot of nothing speaking for all Québécois and French Canadians of all time.

So former French President Sarkozy,
“Nicolas Paul Stéphane Sarközy de Nagy-Bocsa” is also not really Français de souche either
(not to mention Kylian Mbappé 
)
Thanks, I didn’t know that!
