Quebec ’s French -language minister says the slogan is part of “our DNA, our identity,” and has been used for decades to support the Montreal Canadiens NHL hockey team.

“It's a unifying expression, rooted in our history, and part of our cultural and historical specificity," Jean-François Roberge said on social media platform X.

Roberge 's statement was meant to quell the uproar over the Montreal transit agency's decision to remove the expression “Go! Canadiens Go !” from city buses.
