More and more people speak it on a global scale, you shouldn’t celebrate the disappearance of non English cultures.

I wouldn’t be so sure, I’ve been in arguments with a whole lot of people that were arguing that racism against my nation is impossible because it’s mostly white…

What?

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Racism

Racism is discrimination and prejudice against people based on their race or ethnicity.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ethnicity

An ethnicity or ethnic group is a grouping of people who identify with each other on the basis of perceived shared attributes that distinguish them from other groups. Those attributes can include a common nation of origin, or common sets of ancestry, traditions, language, history, society, religion, or social treatment.

It’s possible to be racist towards anyone. If you’re white go spend a couple of months in China and you’ll understand that after being told by multiple people that intelligence varies by skin colour and white people are in the bottom half.

“Oh no, French Canadians use words in their second language based on their definition, what a bunch of exclusionary shit cunts!”

You should really go sit down and reflect on the way you just acted.

Just pointing out the ridiculousness of the “it’s a foreign language” argument.

There’s no universities in a first Nation language and the official language in Quebec is French. I would be the first one to vote in favor of teaching kids a first Nation language, there’s 11 families of them in Quebec alone so a common language is necessary and in Quebec that’s French.

Members of first Nations are still free to go to school in whatever language they choose and the headline is just bad, at university level everyone can go wherever they want, it’s the English universities that will lose financing if they don’t get 80% of students from other provinces and out of country to reach level 5 French (out of 12 levels to be considered perfectly bilingual), that’s just enough French to be able to understand an everyday conversation.

Do you consider that all other provinces do language discrimination because people can’t go to university there without knowing English?

The Pope has been denouncing the conflict and asking for the killing to end from the beginning.

See there’s this thing we call “a definition” and that word is appropriate to the situation and if you think “foreigner” is pejorative then you’re the one who’s got an issue…

The law states that English universities can take in whoever they want, 80% must finish their degree having reached conversational level in French otherwise English universities will lose part of their funding (when they’re the universities that are the richest in the province).

That’s not language discrimination, that’s just bad journalism.

Then so are first Nation languages since we all come from Africa.

When all the online interactions you see concerning your culture are people who barely have any knowledge of it taking a shit on it, you tend to not have the patience to be the bigger person.

Heck, 100 years ago someone from four villages over was considered a foreigner…

Then lead by example.

See, a judge and a teacher wouldn’t be allowed to wear a pin that says “white pride” because in their professional life they represent a State that has specific values and their image must reflect that. One such value of that State is the separation of religion and State.

Is the right to force a person to wear specific clothing in there too or is it just ok if it’s a religious group or a person’s family that choose their clothings?

Random numbers? Oh yeah, sorry… 5 millions French Canadians, 33.5m non French Canadians, 331.9 Americans… So yeah, you’re right, my numbers were wrong, 5m vs 367.4m… Oops, it didn’t go the way you expected did it?

You’re pretty blind if you don’t realise that Anglo Canadian culture is disappearing, Quebec produces more original content for its TV than the rest of Canada!

American culture is spreading so much that similar language protection laws are getting adopted in European countries now, same for protection against the spread of Russian in eastern Europe. You just don’t care because it doesn’t affect you, the proof being that I’m here and talking to you in English instead of forcing you to speak to me in french, which you should be able to do in our bilingual country.

We put limits to people’s rights at work all the time and for multiple reasons, wearing a uniform being one of them.

If your religion is so important to you that you can’t make the difference between your willingness to display it and your professional obligations when you represent a laïc State and you’re in a position of authority (because that’s the only people affected by Bill 21), then maybe you should reconsider your willingness to work for said government in that position because clearly you’re not in the right place.

It’s also very funny that you’re basically saying it’s ok for a religion/community to force people to wear certain clothes but it’s not ok for the State to tell the same people not to wear them. If they were so free to do what they want then removing a religious sign for 8h a day shouldn’t be an issue, shouldn’t it?

Again, what about political signs? No one complains about that… Weird right?

Quebec made the decision 60 years ago to get religion out of its institutions, only the Catholic Church was concerned at the time but today is a different reality and the Révolution Tranquille is a big part of what makes Quebec what it is today. I don’t know why someone that’s religious to the point that they wouldn’t accept to separate their private religious life from their job would want to represent a laïc government just like I don’t understand why an atheist would want to go work for the government in a theocracy.

Who’s concerned then? A minority of government jobs, plenty of opportunities for people who want to display a religious sign and worst case there’s the private sector if they truly don’t agree.

Is it any different from asking the people who have the exact same jobs from not displaying their political allegiance? Both religion and freedom of expression are protected by the Canadian Charter, don’t forget that.

So it’s wrong to be proud of your culture and to expect people that make the choice to live in it to actually want to become part of it?

You think a group of about 7m surrounded by 360m people that speak another language aren’t at risk of seeing their culture disappear?

The Quebecois are also recognized as a separate nation by the federal government, just so you know.

It’s so strange how Anglo Canadians can’t understand their position in this.
