The bands from Quebec are still going strong and are a rich part of the genre's origin and evolution.
Also, Picard (or L'octus in this case) is in the future, so the current state of the scene (and the performance of the Habs) doesn't factor into his worldview.
EDIT : I don't speak french. It's that way for effect, as it's meant to be "Picard Québécois" gone evil, thus, not bothering to speak english/use the translators or whatever.
EDIT2 : The final line is "From now on, you will speak Joual", which is the version of french specific to Quebec.
EDIT 3 : I updated the description... which is what I was going to get to.
Yeah. Think of it like this : influencer is a broad stroke term for basically, internet celebrity. They are able to influence people within the audience they have built for themselves, and are aiming to get their influence to more people to say something.
Now, they usually make money by lending that voice to companies in exchange for money. But, some are doing it to further other agendas, positive or negative.
And sometimes, there's a synergy. For example, Northernlion can be seen as an indie games influencer. Sometimes, companies pay him to play a game during a stream. He's upfront about the sponsorship, but it can be an interesting game to want to play. And sometimes, he doesn't know what game to play, since he streams most days as a regular ass job. So the "paid suggestion" helps him fill the time.
Others are not so scrupulous, and are exploitative.

And then why the fuck did Deanna have to get some SciFi variant of SA once per season?
I didn't notice the SA, but they probably were not the ones I randomly saw on TV or during me stepping in on random eps of my wife's Trek marathon.
But... I think it's probably because Troi is the ship's Professional Woman. Her job on the show is to be a woman, she feels emotions, she likes chocolate, her mother comes over to visit... and she gets sexually assaulted.
There are other female cast members, but they have other things going on. Crusher is the doctor, Guinan is the barkeep, Ro is the rebel... Tasha Yar...
I don’t think sexual violence happened to anyone else throughout all of TNG
From what I understand of the anti-drugs(?) ep, Tasha has a serious talk with Wesley about people in her home planet turning to drugs as a way to deal with the impact of the roaming rape gangs that inhabit that planet... or something. So she also counts among the people getting raped.
Also, I did see a few instances of Riker getting close calls when he wasn't giving fully informed consent, when he tried to jailbreak out of a candidate planet and the Dr Alien had her way with him and wouldn't let him escape otherwise, and the brainwashing game was given to him by an alien having sex with him on Risa.
I was interested in Pika, but I took the leap and just went straight Debian. I'm happy.
