Not at all (unless of course you're trying to pass it off as beef or something it's not).
Quebec, our largest province, is French descended and very proud of their "French" culture (though the actual French, in France, are not that impressed with Quebec "Frenchness", but that's another topic). Eating horses has been a French tradition for centuries, and there is therefore a significant market for horsemeat in Quebec.
It's not nearly as popular in the rest of the country, to the extent that only a few high-end butchers in major cities will provide it, the lack of demand making it unprofitable to keep in stock for most such businesses.
