@@orange300-ct8fcreally? What happened
@helehelexx____5924 I'm not offended by the term "immigrant" because it's objectively not an offensive term. I'm sure it could be said with a negative tone, but the word itself is entirely inoffensive.

Quebec is great to visit but a terrible place to live and do business.
run by the mafia
Not always great to visit. Many Quebecers refuse to speak english to non french speakers even when they can. Quebec is an embarrassment to Canada.
@ddrlbhski6438 True, but if you let that ruin your visit, you may be a bit emotionally fragile. Everyone's experience is different.
I LIVE THERE 25 YEARS AND WAS VERY GREAT NO BETTER OR WORSE THAN ANYWHERE ELSE
how long did you live there, 3 days
It's hard to believe the provincial government had gone so far in the name of preserving a language. This is outrageous and ignorant
And not even REAL french, just ask a Parisian.
Yeah hard to believe some parts of Canada actually like their own culture enough to protect it

The rest of Canada doesn't force Quebecers to speak english. Ridiculous
Quebecers no, because they're in Quebec... But most of the country does force its french-speaking citizens to speak english. Ontario provides *some* services in french but very little. In fact, the extent of services it guarantees in French is significantly smaller than the range of english services provided in Quebec. And the rest of the country, with the exception of New Brunswick, isn't even worth mentioning.
Even after bill 96, english services in Quebec are lightyears ahead of French services in 8 of the other 9 provinces.
@@maya-amf3325french services are limited because in most places the French population is minute, not because there are laws making it illegal.

Quebec should have simply grandfathered students like Julie who are so close to the end of their final high school year.
And miss a chance to prove their intolerance of any one not pure laine?
@@mechghost5742 I come from a country whose language was in serious decline so the government implemented a law requiring that all schools teach 50% of their classes in our language. It worked. Pure laine is better than the so-called English taught in the "rest of Canada" where grammar and spelling tend to be quite appalling.
@@anncoffey8375Quebec👿 is racist
@@anncoffey8375 In 2022, only 48% of secondary 5 students achieved a passing grade on the grammar and spelling criterion for French in Quebec.
@@louisecote3542 it’s a private school, she’s paying. The govt only gives a pittance to private schools for the sole purpose of being able to dictate curriculum and policy.
Everyone is equal unless you're in kweebec. So racist and I hate that word but it is disgusting behaviour.
The school will not protest because of the government funding !
Exactly. In Quebec, most private schools are government-subsidized.
The Feds should cut off all transfer payments to Quebec until they act like part of Canada.
The federal government and the supreme court have recognised Quebec as a distinct society within Canada since 1987. Quebec has the legal right to protect its language, culture and traditions. BTW, French in Canada is older than English in Canada. Remember when Quebec wanted to separate from Canada? English Canada spent millions of dollars to prevent its separation. Well, you kept it as part of Canada and now you have to live with its being a distinct francophone society within Canada. Quebec's population is almost one-quarter of Canada's, and it is also Canada's largest province. It think it has the right to make its own language laws whether or not we approve of them.
@@anncoffey8375Well said.

One example why we lack education because "education" is a business.
There are 9 other provinces where you can study what you want.
I don’t usually like speaking out, but this is absolutely ridiculous for the school to do this, so I’m hoping that private citizens that send money into the school send it into a different private school or a different fundraising that is worthy of that help I don’t like these walk schools, making up their own rules and inconveniencing this girl I host international students, and I treat everyone with the greatest respect that they deserve
Unfortunately it’s not only schools

How the f is a private school getting government funding?
It's in Quebec and they operate differently.
In Quebec, there are two kinds of private schools. Publicly funded and completely private.
Private schooling in Quebec is taxpayer-subsidized.
@@shauncameron8390 time to drop the French credit requirement for high-school graduation.. in light of the tuition hike on English universities only in Quebec for out of province students
In Spain we do something similar, but they don't actually operate as private schools anymore once they take government fundings. They are compelled to follow the same system for student admissions that is used in every public school. They can choose their own teachers, though (public schools in Spain follow an open selection system based on curriculum).
povrecita, mais depuis qu'elle est au Quebec elle pouvait pas apprendre le Francais au lieu de penser a aller "go party" avec ses copines apres la classe?
she live in quebec for 4 years and still dont speak french, what is going on
It takes far more than 4 years to become competent enough in a language to learn primarily in french. At most after 4 years you'd be somewhat conversational, but having to interpret academic speech and literature in french would be extremely difficult.
How do you know she doesn't speak French? English schools in Montreal teach French. Get your facts straight before speaking nonsense.
This is, frankly, INHUMANE.

Je ne sais pas à quoi elle pensait, lorsqu'elle a décider de partir étudier à l'étranger. Il faut connaitre la langue du pays pour pouvoir s'intégrer et développer des relations. Nous sommes des gens très accueillants au Québec, mais la culture anglo-saxonne est très envahissante et nous n'avons pas le choix de faire des lois sur la langue si nous ne voulons pas disparaitre. La mort d'une culture est quelque chose qui se fait tres lantement sur plusieurs générations.
Je suis completament d'accord. Je suis Mexicaine/American mais je crois que Le Quebeq a le droit the defendre la culture francophone
T'es cave.
L' argument impliqué dans la vidéo c'est qu'elle était DÉJÀ dans une école DEPUIS PLUSIEURS ANNÉES (*avant* que la nouvelle loi soit présentée au public) et qu'elle devrait avoir le droit de finir sa carrière secondaire avec ses amis et camarades.
Tu parles mais tu ne dis rien.
Insecure Francophone you are.
Not a citizen. Who cares.
If a language requires such draconian measures to "preserve", it's not worth preserving.
How do you live in Montreal for four years and not learn French? And I say that as an allophone.
Because if you had ventured west of Rue St. Laurent you would know that you don't need French to survive on the west isle.

Some provinces are anglophone only, one bilingual and one francophone. The choice is yours !
Tbh I think on principle most of bill 96 is ok, but I think it makes no sense if it does not contain a clause to allow those who were already engaged in their educational journey in the province to finish it. Changing the rules mid-game isn't defensible.
Hopefully there are appeals and this is just a bureaucratic blunder that can be resolved quickly.
there's bigger fish to fry
It wasn't cancelled mid-stream ... each study permit was only valid for 12 months. Every 12 month permit she was granted in prior years, was duly honoured. There's never a guarantee of future approval - especially when she refuses to abide by the French language rules. If you accept a job offer with a 12 month employment contract ... do you pompously assume that you have the "right" to demand your continued employment at the company, for as many future years as you please?
Language laws are unconstitutional. How can you be OK with that? 🤔
