French-language debate heats up in Quebec after MP's English response request
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 2 дек 2023
- A request made by a Conservative MP - for the heritage minister to respond to a question in English - has sparked political controversy, particularly in Quebec, where the Conservatives are seeking to gain ground, while the Premier is striving to safeguard the French language.
The incident has raised concerns over minority rights in Quebec, where the English-speaking population is frequently fighting to protect their rights.

Same happens in Spain, bilingualism is catalans, valencians, basques, galicians and other dialects switching to Spanish on demand. We must protect our minority languages from extinction.
Vive le Québec libre !!!!
Those words came from the former president of France, Charles de Gaulle when he visited Montreal.
Go ahead speak French, you are totally within your rights.⚜️
Tell her to get an interpreter if she can't speak French.

Il faut vraiment que le Quebec devienne un pays. Il en va de sa survie linguistique. Le Québec a des ressources naturelles uniques avec le plus grand fleuve du Canada, le St Laurent, les plus grandes réserves d'eau douce, l'ouverture à l'Atlantique et la proximité avec le nord-est américain, une économie forte avec l'hydroélectricité, les ressources forestières, le spatial et bien entendu tout le patrimoine historique et culturel. Le Quebexit est là, il vous tend les bras !
And the highest taxes in North America!
@@DonaldMains And the lowest inequality index in North America !
The United States will not easily recognize an independent Quebec regardless if a referendum is won by the separatists. This will be an economic disaster for Quebec. Many former presidents of stated that. Jimmy Carter and Bill Clinton to name a few. Forget about Joe Biden he'll forget the next day.
I’m from Minnesota. Honestly I dont see why Quebec doesn’t become an independent sovereign nation of its own. Enlighten me.
Well, there have been quite a few attempts for Quebec to in fact become sovereign, one referendum was held in 1980 where about 65% of the voters in Quebec opted to remain a part of Canada and then in 1995 which was the closest Quebec ever came to becoming its own sovereign nation. The vote was 50.4% to remain a part of Canada and 49.6% Yes to leave Canada and form a sovereign nation of Quebec. This has been an incredibly hot button issue in the province and has polled anywhere from 35-45% to separate and become sovereign since the 95’ referendum. Quebec is a very special place on the North American continent, in my opinion it is a slice of Europe here in North America. And I believe that the Québécois should do everything in their power to protect their culture and their language. The reason why we are seeing a resurgence of Quebec separatism along with laws that have been inacted such as bill 96 is because of immigration that has brought citizens who speak a third language other than French and English and there has been a reaction to that. We may infact see a sovereign Quebec one of these days but as for now it remains a very divisive and hot button issue in the province. Hope that was a helpful explanation!!
@boating_on_a_budget6026 it would be very nice to see but realistically... what would Quebec do as their own country? Canada is a good economy country, leaving would hinder both countries, i think. Im not against it though!
Their economy would be extremely negatively affected
Basically the economy will suffer. but realistically Quebec is essentially its own sovereign state in Canada. visiting Ontario and Quebec, Quebec felt like it's own country; they have a great deal of autonomy so I doubt they'll want to separate again.
I believe they are one of the largest recipient of equalization payments.
Why is it an issue to ask for something in English but not in french??
The reaction would have been the same if it was reversed.
@@Tripolie they ask ALL THE TIME for stuff to be said in french and there is never this reaction

@@VK-ds2dw You know they have an earpiece with live translation right? She had it in english, she was just stubborn.
I don't see what the big deal is. She can speak really good English. While the MP that asked didn't speak French.
because we are a bilingual country, as an mp she should be fluent in both, why do you think the immigrant mps learn / speak french. it is our heritage.
@@Malgnofnik speaking about heritage as the liberals white wash Canadian culture is hilarious
Actually that should be "She can speak English well" That said, all responses should be provided in both official languages by all MPs... then we'll know if they're telling everyone the same thing.
Outside of Quebec French is not part of our heritage.
that's precisely the issue !
That little guy from Shawinigan and his mass immigration policy est le problem aussi.
It's why english is the second or third language in many cities in Canada.
Merci beaucoup.
Ironic since immigration for serving corporate cheap labour began decades ago after the failure of free trade. Not very educated about Canada are you.
English is the first language of most Canadians and the lingua franca of all of Canada outside of French speaking areas, what are you talking about?
@@bradcanning875 Most immigrant are skilled professionals, not cheap labour, you're the one that doesn't know anything.
Education and personal wealth are highly valued in the point systems and immigrants are better educated than the native born population and they commit less crime. They're not unskilled labourers, they're skilled professionals that were encouraged to come in because of their specific expertise in science, medicine, engineering etc.
@@tylersmith3139 I take it you haven't been to a big Canadian city in several decades.🙄
Name one city where English is a third language? Please go ahead and tell us.
Does anyone else find it odd that the the ruling party of Canada feels compelled to ensure the "media" is well compensated while 2 million Canadians need to use the food banks?
Don't they compensate the media enough already? See:
The CBC
$50 million Local Journalism Initiative
$595 million salary subsidy (commonly referred to as the newspaper bailout)
$60 million pandemic-specific Emergency Support Fund
$10 million “Special Measures for Journalism”
Media outlets can also apply to receive funding through the Canada Periodical Fund
They literally bribed the media in Trudeaus first run, and nobody cared.
I actually liked much of their platform at the time (they abandoned those elements of said platform), but they promised the media $ if they got in (how is that legal), and even the ‘would somebody PLEASE think of the democracy!!!’ types didn’t even bat an eye.
Here they are doing it all again, and hardly anybody cares.
I guess you chose to keep the issue that 95% of Canadian media is owned by conservatives because Harper and PP let them monopolize it from our rant for accuracy??? The former president of the Conservative Council, Godfrey, owns almost every major Canadian newspaper and magazine. They received huge tax breaks from Harper too.
@@bradcanning875
Did I forget to mention Justin and friends secured another $100,000,000 from Google for their friends in the media?
To suggest that Canada's corporate media is "conservative" is laughable at best.
95% of our media is controlled by Israel.
@@bradcanning875
Are you implying that conservatives don’t respond to monetary incentives?
Want to make a communist a conservative? Give them a handful of rental properties.
Most ppl’s party affiliation is based on who stands to give them more.
We don't make French mandatory subjects for all provinces' curricula.
Most of quebecer speaks good english and pretty good french the thing that english people don't seem to understand is the history of quebec with the french colony and english colony, act of quebec and the constitutional act. Seems like the english people in quebec that does not want to learn french are stuck in 1775, still trying to assimilate us. Most of the native french speaker don't care if you speak english what we do care is for you to be able to talk and give us services in french because we were given the rights to keep our french and we are but a small part of a huge english continent so really i feel like english only people don't want to make efforts to adapt to us when in reality we adapted ourselves to basically a huge continent.
P.s first nation languages should be more important than english and french 🤷♂️
English comes from French. 45 percent English is French. What's your issues
Honestly, the use of French in Canada (or Quebec) is a hard topic to discuss. It’s like, well, the rest of the country speaks English, wouldn’t using French be counterintuitive? But then again, that’s y’all’s culture. Quebec has always been a place of French. The people of Quebec don’t just want to throw French to side like Spanish is in the U.S. (However obviously, Spanish just keeps getting stronger here)
Please tell us of an instance where you couldn't get service in French in Quebec? Please be specific. And being addressed as Bonjour/Hi doesn't count as non French service.

Like where's the problem? I'm a multilingual European so I know that not responding to someone in their language I even speak is a way how to insult this person. Therefore, MP Thomas' question was legit and brought to the point. And I see no intention to oppress the Quebec French speaking minority asking such a question.

@@Dougie-ex1ovnothing happens, but it is about respecting the official languages. Also this will prepare him to be a responsible adult. People are forced to do things they don't want to, but things have to be done.
It's pretty easy to feel oppressed when when the majority of the equalization payments go to Quebec.
I can't believe they cut off her question. Very one sided.
Reminder, QC constantly legislates against everybody elses right to speak or express in a language other than french.
They consistently show contempt for other but than want to be respected because theyre hypocrites.
Everyone should know multiple languages, but politics is a game of liars where no one cares about whats best for the people.

The Canadian parliament is bilingual in English and French, she doesn't have to answer in English if she doesn't feel like, just like that MP doesn't have to speak French if she doesn't want to.
Quebec can only really control language outside of the National Assembly, because they are required to per the Constitution Act 1867.

This is ridiculous and totally unacceptable. Quebec should be immediately freed from the occupation of Canada

Canada is a bilingual country in law only, not in fact. Hardly anyone outside Quebec and certain small communities throughout Canada speak French. I am a Canadian/French dual citizen and love the language, but good luck having a conversation in French with anyone when I'm back in Canada...
It is bad but not extremely bad. You always can find a French speaking worker in government institutions and in a lot of stores/restaurants (especialy in expensive ones). Among regular people - around 10%(sometimes up to 15%) of them can understand you speaking French
P.S. regular people outside of Quebec and New Brunswick
Not true. I've travelled all over this country and have heard French everywhere.Also, let's not make a mountain out of a molehill. It was a request, not a demand.

I mean it makes sense in America but in Canada French has been a big part of the country as long as I’ve been alive. Also, you don’t want to debate politics in someone else’s language. Words mean different things to different people.
Canadian news is so heartening! The US is always talking about violence, unrest, extreme wealth and increasing poverty, etc., but Canada can't decide how big the French lettering of stores should be. 🙂Thank you Canada, for being largely more reasonable that we are! Never let your politicians become like us!
Only in Quebec, in New Brunswick and every other province they don't deal with commercial signs as only Quebec has decided it wants to regulate language at all levels in the private sphere.
The french language will ultimately die in Canada. All forms of social media are in English and there's very little content in french. French has only lasted this long because Quebecker's were able to isolate themselves and only interact with other french speakers. That is no longer the case. It is no coincidence that the decline of the use of french in Quebec started at the same time high speed internet was introduced and continued to trend downwards as social media use grew.
That's the Montréal effect you're talking about...If it was true you would see a decline of French all across Québec, which is not the case.
Why Kbec has not grown economically. Surprising for a province that contributes nothing and gets far more than ROC, it has political influence that hits way above it's weight belt. Unfortunately by continually voting in Kbec politicians into the national sphere the damage to the country will continue. Case in point is Justin Trudeau and the politically corrupt Liberal party.
English will die in Canada and we will all speak French, tu va voir.
There's more good content and social media in French than you could spend your entire life watching, you just don't seek it out so you have no idea. Though I agree that Canada will ultimately kill the French language in Québec which is why I support an independent QC.

Let the question stand, it would be the same if a member from Quebec wanted the question asked in french, regardless of Quebec being the minority province.
This would sound out of context, but when I was visiting Montreal (then my first time in Canada as a tourist), I passed by a KFC, and the sign read “PFK”. Immediately I thought “dang! Why don’t we do the same to them, force signs in Spanish? (To foreign brands in my country). I took a picture and discussed it with my friends.

Quebec's contribution to the federal Equalization program is greater than that of Alberta and Saskatchewan combined, due to its population of 8.7 million inhabitants. For the 2024-2025 fiscal year, Ottawa plans federal transfers of around $99.4 billion via this program, distributed among all Canadian provinces and territories. Quebec and Ontario will benefit respectively from $28.5 and $27.5 billion, while $8.2 billion will be paid to Alberta and $2.1 billion to Saskatchewan, western provinces. oil producers. In addition to benefiting from Equalization, these two provinces, particularly Alberta, benefit from billions of dollars in federal subsidies to support their oil industry. As an example, the Trans Mountain pipeline project purchased by the federal government in 2018 exceeds $30 billion, in the form of grants or loan guarantees from the federal government. These figures come from Chrystia Freeland's Federal Department of Finance, available online.

When in Quebec, you speak French. Period. Whatever we can do, we should promote the use of the French language. I'm an American. I completely understand the major issues when the English language takes dominance. This is one of the reasons why I'm a language teacher. I teach Italian. Anglophones have made this world a more dangerous place. We must and we should press firmly for Romance speaking languages to be used en masse in North America. As an American, I fully support and promote the use of French. Do not let your language or identity die. Do not bow to the Anglophone world. English, per se, is a language of trade. It intrinsically promotes a capitalistic world. French and other Romance languages are inherently beautiful and better for mankind.

I always thought Canadians were expected to speak both languages. Why is French now being made dominant? (serious question, I'm not Canadian, and don't understand why this change is happening)
French is NOT dominant, it used to be but is no longer. French is dominant in Québec only and NB is officially bilingual, but in reality, French always comes second to English there. What happened here is that in a meeting supposedly bilingual but largely conducted in English, one of the speakers used her native French, but an Anglophone MP asked her to do it in English for no other reason than attention grabbing.
In reality, English-speakers seem to think that speaking English is the natural state of things and see any attempt at accommodating French-Canadian in their own country as a privilege and not a civic right.
French is only dominant in Quebec, and to a lesser degree in New Brunswick and its present in Ottawa. Outside of those places sure its official and kids can go to French immersion to learn it in English Canada..but it just isnt enough to make a significant portion of the population French speaking outside of the areas I mentioned.

This is a perfect exemple of North-American mindsets. People don’t want to learn another language than English because they expect everyone to understand it everywhere. It is true, most people speak it, but to voluntarily refuse to learn a language just because it won’t be useful is ignorance

@@gachpilleur6220that is a complete and utter assumption. Just because these are the sentiments expressed does not imply they fit your box. I know many people that are learning languages and yet would also agree with this sentiment; for it has to do with factors around Canada's landscape, not the basic love of language itself... From the latter position of course they can respect the language. However, voluntarily choosing not to learn a language because it's a rather useless one globally, is literally the opposite of igrnce; it's thinking wisely about not only the cognitive benefits of becoming bilingual, but also our footsteps in the real-world.
@@gachpilleur6220 Learn native language then we will learn french.

Fait la même chose alors
Politics needs to change in Quebec. .soon. sickly
Elle n'a pas à se faire imposer de répondre en anglais.
C'est la politique du Canada qui a besoin de changer !!!
By by Quebec
Dit la Karen sans arguments 🤣
*bye
La Karen national devrait apprendre à écrire avant de faire des commentaires 🤣🤣🤣
@@nicolasg.514 oui😅. Elle ne sais pas sa propre langue.
Can you imagine Biden having to speak French 😂
Pouvez-vous imaginer être toi 😂
This is absurd.
Effectivement, elle n'a pas à se faire imposer de répondre en anglais !!!
We are in North America! Speak English
Got a hick song to go with that?
Mexico, Cuba, Panama, Honduras, etc are also part of North America. Also, we don’t have to just because you said so.
Just because quebec french is your first language doesn't give you a pass for being rude and ignorant.
Trudeau responded to an english question in french cause he qasnin Quebec,
There is no reason why every single child born cannot be raised fluent in both languages, so get on with it and stop fooling around. The French language has evolved and yet Quebec still wants to speak Quebecois!!!!!!
There is no such thing as “québécois language”. It’s like saying that in the United States people speak American.
English has always been considered to be superior to French. Get on with it.
Fausse nouvelle Karen !!!
Kbec....will you leave the country.....please?
No you move to America you are in the wrong country
Good on yah. h'Alberta! As Ralph Klein once said-let the bastards freeze in the dark. Ridiculous quota
system where a 'nation' of separatists can get bilingual Supreme Court appointees, military, federal
government reps all the while suppressing-literal & real linguistic fascists-English, in La Belle Province.
Suppressing & harassing one group to 'protect' yourself is unequivocally evil. Merde.
Bend over & smile when you receive d'at fleur de lis, tete carre. We h'ill send out language po-lice to measure your size, huh? You must 'ave only 50%. We watch you always-never sleep...Je Me Souviens!
French is a patten languge of france debate is over and english is an international treaty tung not domestic.... Fornication from embassy trade post 1763 of the kings permit befor the direct democracy of nations who hold patten rights on offical langues to process its domestict laws and trade before the king of kings court.... A proclamtion of 4 respected members to trade with who?
REV 22.12 And had a wall great and high, and had twelve gates, and at the gates twelve angels, and names written thereon, which are the names of the twelve tribes of the children of Israel:
embassy = i-am-been-seen
REV 22.14 And the wall of the city had twelve foundations, and in them the names of the twelve apostles of the Lamb.
Tabernacles of god get handed to men Justice key seats of its nations in trade with names listed on its gates for entry....
REV 22.24 And the nations of them which are saved shall walk in the light of it: and the kings of the earth do bring their glory and honour into it.
What honor and glory in living waters do you have in trade before the gates you children of Israel:? NOTHING
REV 22.27 And there shall in no wise enter into it any thing that defileth, neither whatsoever worketh abomination, or maketh a lie: but they which are written in the Lamb's book of life.
NO entry for the children of Israel... WHY?
Like Africa, Quebec should split up.
I live in Quebec and I speak Quebecois, not French. French is not the language of Quebec. In fact, we speak a bastardized version of French that incorporates English words. Maybe the Quebec governmemt needs an authentic French lesson. Call it what it is ... not French but Quebecois.
On parle français, fais-toi à l'idée !
Bon, quelqu'un ici ne sait pas c'est quoi un dialecte.
Le français parlé au Québec se base sur les mêmes règles grammaticales, syntaxiques et orthographiques que partout ailleurs dans la Francophonie. Le contexte géopolitique et historique en fait la différence. Le français du Québec a évolué en vase clos pendant quelque deux cents ans (1760-1960), entouré de presque 375 millions d'anglophones de l'Amérique du Nord. C'est un miracle que l'on parle encore français ici. Il est dû en grande partie à la résilience des Canadiens-français et à la mission que s'est donnée l'Église catholique lors de la Conquête britannique, d'être gardienne de la race (la revanche des berceaux), de la foi et de la langue des conquis. Même si on peut reprocher bien des choses à l'Église, on peut au moins reconnaître sa contribution à la survivance du français au Canada. Si tu prétends mal parler ta langue, peut-être souffres-tu de paresse intellectuelle ou de fierté. Bien apprendre et s'exprimer dans sa langue, c'est se respecter.
NO ONE SPEAKS FRENCH!!!
Go away Quebec
No you go away all the way down to Florida, nice climate, good working condition, French useless.
Only in quebec is french language used, so it is less than important.
I guess you’ve never been to Ontario or New Brunswick?
22% of the Canadian population have French as their mother tongue. Isn't that significant to you, the Anglo-Saxon supremacist?
global sucks
SO GLAD I MOVED TO ONTARIO.
I MISS MONTREAL BUT TO HELL WITH THIS RACIST BULL.
Bon débarras
bon débarras 🖕
Tu devrais te regarder dans le miroir avant de parler champion !!!
