sacrilege

That was almost sacrilege.

C’était presque un sacrilège.

The rest of Canada may dismiss it as one more of the premier's childish tantrums, but when one recalls the blood and sacrifice of thousands of Quebeckers in World War II one sees how his actions approach sacrilege.

Le reste du Canada peut juger que ce n'est qu'une crise de colère enfantine de plus de la part du premier ministre du Québec.
