Carrying a deactivated pistol

A deactivated pistol could be enough to commit shoplifting. No one knows it's deactivated. That's why bb guns or toy guns have to "look" like toys or have to have red muzzles on them to prove they're fake.
 
If it looks like a gun and is considered a real gun by someone then it and you will be treated as having a real gun. A robber using a real looking watergun, bb gun etc. is committing an armed robbery. As stated above call your local police and do what they say.

Deactivated firearms by definition are not firearms as they incapable of firing and the frame is welded up. They don't require any paperwork as long as it's been deactivated to the CFC spec. And it's not an imitation either so the ban on realistic imitations doesn't apply.

Is this some loony Québec thing or is it deactivated to some other spec?

Although the CFC now has a procedure in place requiring an inspection by a licensed gunsmith.

But anyway, assuming it is deactivated, there are no controls on it after that.
