        That’s exactly what it is though, they would never dare say the same thing about a first Nation community adopting similar rules.

          No you see the only groups that get to use the government to hurt other groups is the groups I personally like.

          Humans are “meant” to be multilingual. That is norm for us. I still remember the small shock I felt when we were visiting my wife’s homeland for the first time and it turns out there is a language with under 6 million people, spoken only in one small region, that she knew plus the most common language of her country.

          So yeah this is a group being punished for speaking their own language on land that they originally owned, plus anyone who wants to study there and doesn’t speak French. This is freedom? This is a just society? This is education? Schools are supposed to teach not force monolithic thought and punish people for being born “wrong”.

            First Nations have no French requirements and are allowed to get service in English in Quebec if they want to, that’s a protected right.

            Also very very funny that you would go from saying “Humans are meant to be multilingual” to “I can’t believe they have to learn a second language!”

            It’s incredible how easy it is to point out the the Anglo hypocrisy.

      You’ve got an issue with people calling out racists and nationalists?

          The most egregious example would be Bill 21. Absolutely horrendous legislation that does nothing but marginalize those who are already marginalized. Despite what the Quebecois would like you to believe, it’s a piece of proxy legislation that aims to exclude religious and ethnic minorities from Quebec society, plain as day.

            Just a quick look, that’s just the same as France’s law on religious iconography except only for government employees?

            Trying to limit the danger of religion sounds like a good thing to me.

            Oh the double standards. The religious minorities should be protected at all costs, but the québécois don’t deserve that same protection. It’s always the ““inclusivity/minority activists”” that are the most against Québec when Québec itself fits inside this very definition. For the common good, please just fuck off.

              It’s really funny how triggered you are. Believe it or not but French speakers aren’t a minority in Quebec. Wild, I know!
