Follow us on Twitter and Like us on Facebook.

We're taking our city back!

We went through all this stuff 30yrs ago, ,nothing happened just like nothing will happen in your attempts to eradicate bill101 and the language police, its a given that allo/anglophones dont like the language laws of bill101 or the language police but its Quebec and its what the government and the majority of Francophone seem to feel is necessary to keep their culture alive,You may want to save yourself a lesson in futility and accept the fact that Quebec is French, rest of N.America is English.
Get over it.

The separatists long ago abandoned Franco-Ontarians and all the other Francophones in Canada when they decided they'd stop trying to promote the well being of French Canadians in Canada and instead would focus on the Quebecois in a new Quebecois homeland. When in government, the PQ actively worked against the cause of French language education in Manitoba because they're against minority linguistic right everywhere. As an English Quebecker, I have alot more sympathy for Franco-Ontarians as another linguistic minority than I do for the English Ontarians who find it somehow offensive that they should be able to get services in an official language in their own country.

There is still people here in Québec who do not accept the fact that french should be the main language: and french being the main language do not mean eradicate english. Look at the reactions. For some people, Quebec should become totally bilingual and Canada totally english...Bilinguism is only required where there is a french majority because for them everybody should speak english.

J'aimerais savoir de quels droits exactement les anglos québécois sont privés ? Le droit de parler, d'écrire, le droit à l'éducation dans leur langue ? Le droit à des institutions comme l'université ?

There are some that are still pushing for more and more french services now at the same time some want less and less english in Quebec that is why people get fed up.

To accuse Quebec separatist to be the cause of the lack of french services in Ontario is the same than to accuse separatist to be the cause of the poverty of Haiti: it's near delirium..
