Law Canada's Looming Constitutional Crisis

In my opinion a more controversial use of these resources is the many language laws they pass, specifically to target "allophones" who prefer to speak English. Where exactly does this leave the English speaking Canadians who have lived in Quebec for centuries?

What do you think we could do to stop it if they actually wanted to? We are not a Russia/Ukraine situation.. Ukraine actually had a military.

They can leave, along with anyone who is unhappy with Québec‘s cultural protection. They can go to places without identity like toronto

The idea I was getting at was that French derived culture is not the only traditional culture of Quebec worth protecting.

Lol hardball? He has capitulated to every demand Trump asked for and then dick tucked on his own counter tarrifs. Carney has bent over nicely for the US. Flip flops harder that an Indian truck driver

Which is what Trump predicted would happen if Canada voted in another liberal cuck like Carney. He would be easier to deal with and he's right so far.

There are 7-8% that are native English speakers. To me, having street signs, public education, higher education, etc. in French makes sense. Asians are about that in the US, we don't make street signs in Mandarin.

I think it’s cool that there’s bi-lingual cities still around on N America.

I feel like we miss out here in the US where many people in the EU speak 3 or 4 languages out of necessity

I'm an Anglophone living in Quebec and I don't agree with some of the laws, but this one has been discussed for a very long time and it's unlikely it will ever pass.

It's a French culture that was concerned about being swallowed and digested by the English majority. It's a valid fear. Weird how American conservatives are super hung up on having English as the American national language (it isn't), and want to save statues of rebels who fought to dissolve the union and preserve slavery, but mock people who don't want their culture and traditions to disappear.

@koquerelle can expound on this far more eloquently than I.

For years the opinions of minorities have been used as a gotcha on liberals, but that approach has always ignored one important fact.

We don't have to agree with people to believe they should be treated like human beings.

Similarly, conservatives keep saying liberals want immigrants so they can expand their voting base, which ignores the fact that Latinos are overwhelmingly conservative. This year conservatives laughed because it "backfired", but that was always going to happen and we always said it would. Getting more voters was never the goal.

I wish we could have reasonable discussions about immigration. I'm the first person in my family born in Canada, and my father is completely opposed to illegal immigration because he remembers how hard it was to do it right. How long it took, how much it cost, and how his family had to come here a few at a time. His father was a miner in Italy and when he came here, he worked in construction; a machine exploded and took one of his arms off. The last time his family saw him whole was in Italy.

Nobody tries for any common ground here. I was talking about trans issues and I told a guy some of the positions I and most liberals have in common with conservatives, and he laughed and called me a bigot. Some of you need to believe an uncrossable chasm is between us.

Would have to use the Vietnam/Afghanistan strategy. Fight for years in small hit and runs.

Canada should be training its army and preparing its citizens for that kind of war. In the meantime Canada should be purchasing nukes from France and the UK.

Also should be prepared to dump nuclear waste into the Great Lakes.
