- “If we don’t speak up, then it’s going to be very hard to change the law,” said Ivana Riveros Arteaga, John Abbott College’s Student Union, as Montreal CEGEP students protested Quebec's proposed French language reform. Alyssia Rubertucci reports.
Mandating extra French courses and exams is not beneficial to those who already have a strong grasp of French (or the Quebec derivative) and is punitive to those who seek financial or educational opportunities in any other province, or the entire United States. No one benefits lol.
Lets make french people pay for french schools and english pay for english schools and see what's gonna happens...
wakey wakey frenchy, it's called Nouveau Kebek(formerly known as New Brunswick)
Why is it that Jewish people send their kids to Jewish school. Do they know something we don't.
@@robertgaraboncias8852 Its private school. And since we live in a free market (still), Im ok with that.
Too bad for you , language and education are provincial matters in Canada . Unless you go to à private school
I studied at John Abbott over 10 years ago. There was a requirement to take two French language courses. This was fine. Why change the system?
Because it is COLLEGE. Adults attend. Adults are supposed to have choices.
@@floxy20 They do. But they also have societal responsibilities : integrating to francophone culture in a francophone nation is one. Cheers.
@@alexcrowbz Nowhere in our charter is it written that one of the responsabilities of our citizens is to be able to speak the language and integrate in our culture. Also I remind you, until quebec establishes its own currency, and sovereignty, it will be AT MOST an ethnicity and to call it a nation shows a fundamental misunderstanding of the word. C'est un pays bilingue
@@alexcrowbz "a francophone nation"
That doesn't exist, which you can blame on "money and the ethnic vote" if you want.

English is hrad. You keep at it, Parizeau.
The language issue has been going on in Quebec for decades and will never stop. The quebecois know very well that they are a small island surrounded by a sea of ENGLISH. And their fears are once again shown by imposing these tyrannical laws. I feel bad for these kids who want to have English in their future and open endless opportunities. Quebec has the highest rate of unfilled skilled positions because the french requirement that blocks out all of the english non-bilingual applicants. And that will worsen with this dumb law. There are many countries that have 2 official languages and live in harmony, why do the Quebecois who are so stubborn be the same? That "survival" argument is poor, they just want everyone to pity them for becoming obsolete.
Feel bad, most of them just have to blame their rude and opportunistics by chosing english in a French speaking society. And then use the racist card . Yes many do not even come not from an english speaking language country. IN Rome do as Romans do! This is called respect !
canada is bilingual, but it is also à federation where language education and culture is a provincial matter ! A constitutional right , that you seem to have missed ! In Rome do as Romans do
'survival? ' this is also called respect toward the host province .
Respect toward the host province is timeless !!!! In Rome do as Romans do

Go figure...a secondary news source is the only one touching this.....so much for English Rights in Canada proper AND Kebek being of any concern, 'eh'?
It’s probably because this isn’t the first nor will it be the last that Quebec’s provincial government pulls this kind of thing. Maybe we’re too used to it.
There is an enormous amount of otherizing of one another in this comments section. In both directions. It’s extremely saddening. I wish we could take a magic pill to take the hate out of our mouths so that we could talk about this, and whatever else has been between us too! What is at the heart of the issue here is that there are a lot of native born Anglo Quebecers whose roots run very very deep who will be unable to access essential services in English. A visit to the bank, the doctor, the accountant, the lawyer, all these scenarios will be made near impossible. I’ve got lots of family in their 50’s 60’s 70’s 80’s who speak conversational French, as most Anglos do. A trip to the SAQ or the Dep or chit chatting over coffee with their friends in French is fine, but that isn’t the issue. Also, access to education in English was already difficult. You had to prove that one parent went to school in English (*in Quebec, not elsewhere) in order that you could access English education. I don’t mean this as a criticism at all, it makes sense and is fair. So commenters saying newly arrived Canadians to Quebec should ‘just learn French’ already are, they haven’t got a choice. Anyways, I hope there is a way forward here. 😢
I absolutely have no hate, but don't you think that if you're living in a place where the majority speaks a certain language, you should be learning it and be able to speak it more than on a "conversational" level? Amish people in the US speak fluent English, despite the fact that they have their own community with their own language.
This is a very good point and an extremely pertinent argument that, I will say ignorant, other Canadians from other provinces use against the French outside of Quebec. However, Canada is a bilingual nation and even though the majority of Canada is English speaking, you have the inalienable right to access essential services in French if you wish. I live in Alberta now, and there are many French school(real ones, not French immersion lol 😂), there is always someone at the bank or at the registry office, or likely even at the resto who can serve you in French. This is your right according to the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms. The only place these rights don’t apply is in Quebec. The lack of reciprocity is troubling. Additionally, the issue of many Anglo Quebecer families having been in Quebec for hundreds of years is a sticking point for many, and I think this is why these conversations deteriorate so quickly into hateful language and arguments. These are emotional issues.
@@theirmanager5204 I've never ever seen anybody refused service in English, in Quebec. Wherever you go, banks, offices etc. there is always at the very least someone who speaks English. As far as I know, governmental institutions always hire bilingual people. So, I don't see how Anglophones have no access to English services.
I went to the hospital when I was 18 because my ulanr nerve got cut in st Eustashe, I barely spoke French the nurses and doctors barely spoke English had no idea what was going on the entire time then I got handed a piece of paper in French told them I can't read it but they had no other papers, turns out those papers said I had to go see a specialist to see about getting my nerves reattached by the time I got the paper translated my appointment was already missed and I couldn't get another one so now I have no ulnar nerve past my elbow because of the wonderful Quebec hospital system refusing service in English, not to mention how horribly you get treated when you can't speak French in Quebec especially in any government building or a hospital the look people give you when you only speak English to them as if you're worse than a piece of trash

Legault has hated the English since he was a child in Ste. Anne de Bellevue.

@@marc-andredeslauriers7687 I have no issue with the culture, I have issue with people in this province looking down on others because they don't speak french in a bilingual country. I have issue with the government spending millions on policing the language that private businesses chose to operate with, I have issue with anglo kids growing up in fear of ordering a hamburger because the cashier scoffs at their accent. To see others fighting for a right which does not affect you and calling it hatred is a privileged and ignorant act.
Every little plight you mentioned, we suffered it tenfold. The RoC is no different to us when it comes to French derision or looking down on them. You're just tugging the rope your way because having the rest of the country is not enough for you.
In this context, acting as a victim in Canada as a Anglo is the paramount of hypocritical privilege so spare me.

Good one
I agree
Bon, un jeune Québécois "ouvert" sur le monde qui croit avoir la sagesse et l'expérience pour s'aventurer sur la question... You can embrace diversity alongside a common French-speaking public culture. There's no contradiction in that. In fact, Québécois are just as hospitable towards newcomers than anywhere else in Canada. They simply expect their language to be respected. Donc tu peux bien garder ta supériorité morale pour toi, le jeune.
L’indépendance pour nous libérer une fois pour toute de la tutelle Canadian et non pcq la xénophobie, la société québécoise étant la plus ouverte sur le monde. Tu parles en colonisé aplatventriste. Les boomers que je connais sont pas mal plus sage et serein que ce qui te tient d’occiput.
I was taught in school that after the French were defeated on the plains of Abrahams the English victors gave the French the rights to their own language and religion. That meant they could keep both of them. Not imposed them on others. Since then for some reason, we keep making concessions to a defeated people. We in western Canada keep sending transfer payments from our oil production which they claim is dirty. Although they import from Saudi's and Russia which has blood on the oil with no problem. It's time we said you my be a distinct society but you are either Canadian or not' If not then leave.
Quebec is the largest recipient of equalization payments over any other province. Can you believe that Quebec could be the most disadvantaged? Does that sound right? 🤔 something is wrong here, Gordon.
People died for us to have our right to speaking french.
French Quebecois been trying to leave for a while now, but Anglo Quebecois been balancing the vote to the No side... so they need leave Quebec before Quebec can leave Canada.
Anglo Quebecers make up less than 1 million. If you’re referring to the referendum from the 90’s, that was nearly a 50/50 split. It wasn’t Anglos holding Quebec back from separation. I mean no harm or hate. This is all really hard stuff to talk about and everyone is upset. I hope the future is more peaceful.
Simply. Quebec takes more from Canada than it puts in. Have another referendum but let us all vote.
@@theirmanager5204 Don't forget all the money we give to the First Nations.
Learn French as a third or a fourth language?????? If people immigrate to Quebec or live in Quebec this is their duty to learn the French and if you’re not happy you have a whoooooole other part of the contry who speak English so please by respect for the people of this province witch is mine this is the least that you can do to learn the language
It’s their right to speak English in quebec
Canada has two official languages, French and English. Actually, the French spoken is not the french from France but rather a Creole version like what is spoken in Louisiana.
The English are mandatory French language learners (reading and writing) from Grades 4 through Grade 8, and 1 credit course while in Secondary School. Proficiency in French in Anglophone speaking Canada is a requirement for elementary school graduation; and also, secondary school graduation. The same I understand goes for the French children who are taught English language while living in Quebec. Its called mutual cooperation, a result of the treaty signed after the War of Upper and Lower Canada. Don't forget that the English colonists defeated the French colonists and 'allowed' the French language to continue to be spoken in Quebec, even though the province's military was defeated.
By the way, it's not "...people of this province [witch] is mine..." but should be "....people of this province [which] is mine..." You got your witch's wrong, that's all.

Im a french Quebecors, I can see That anglophones and allophones DO NOT UNDERSTAND the issue about losing control of French in Québec. In the 1900´s to the 60´s, Anglophone and English were in control of Banks and Industry in Montréal. Because of that, French Quebecors were the second classes in society, there doing the worst job in town, we were living in the worst rat hole in the east of Montréal where it stinks. While Anglophone were living in the rich hood on the West side of Montréal. Since the last 20 years, English IS REGAINING CONTROL OF DOWNTOWN MONTRÉAL. New bills to protect French in Québec are a ERMENGENCY!!!!!

Exactly, so why don't we allow Quebec to separate once and for all. That way the entire province can revert back to speaking Creole French since they forgotten how to speak Parisian French; no English speaking allowed, or signage across the province. Oh yeah, they won't be a province anymore, more likely a sovereign french colony (if France will have them back).
@@DavidHalverson Im just saying that they have their signs in english to protest a bill that would only impact them with additional french classes to help them master the language, theyre litteraly exposing the problem that bill tries to fix by showing that they dont even make the effort to use french.

How can the one woman argue that it creates inequality? Wouldn't learning a bit of the language most people in the province speak help rather than hinder them?
The Francophones would be happier if all Anglophones had no rights in the province of Quebec. The French are still angry over losing the Battle of Champlain and their province to the English. The French suffered the humiliation of defeat even though the English were complacent in allowing their language, French, to be retained and not forcing them to learn to speak and write in English.
Unlike the rest of Canada where English speaking students are forced to take a mandatory French conversational language course every year. I started in Grade 7 and 8, then dropped it in secondary school when I realized there was no requirement for the graduation diploma of a language course in French back in 1976 when I started Grade 9. Now, in the present, it is mandatory to take French as a Second Language if your English speaking from Grade 4 through 8, plus 1 credit course in secondary school.

Belgium - 2 to 3 launguages, Switzerland - 3 to 4 languages. People learn and use these languages on a need basis not a mandate. You plot your path and opportunities exist. Que is mandating French and removing opportunities that are not French for everyone. This is not freedom, this is not opportunity. There are only 24 hours each day. Students spending 2-3 hours on a language which is not needed for their future is not ok. Do Francophones need to learn english? Not unless they want to. We have 2 official languages in this country. Opportunities should exist in both.
France many languages: german, Basques, ..but only one official! it is a problem with some francophone mentality!

What is happening in Quebec is the same things that happen in most dictatorships. 1) Control what the people hear by making it difficult to understand anyone else. (Force the French language on everyone) 2) Control the message. Now that your population only understand the language force on them makes it much easier. 3) Control the media. Quebec has done a good job in keeping the CBC alive using our money against ourselves. 4) Put people sympathetic to the French language cause and make it very difficult for anyone not able to speak the French language into positions of power. Quebec has done it all. They lost the battle on the plains of Abraham but to the elite the war is still ongoing. Trudeau is a Quebecer first and a Canadian second. Most Western Canadians are Canadians first but this is now changing.
Castreau works for the bald man in Davos. No loyalty to the country.
1. Trudeau isn’t a Québécois, he was from Ottawa, Ontario. His father was against Quebec independence. 2. He spent years in Montreal, but he also spent years in BC. 3. This video has nothing to do with federal, this is provincial issue. 4. Quebec is governed by CAQ, not liberal.
you realise in french schools we are obligated to have english classes? Stop with your conspiracy theories.
Never being in a dictartoship ! The Canadian constitution approuves that any province has the right to impose it's language ! if you are not happy go to Ottawa to change the constitution. lol !!!! Thank you to show your ignorance!
These student should consider themselves lucky cause you will never see french students in the rest of Canada who can dream of having the possibility to ask for the same.

@@yvonfaub BS
@@yvonfaub Oh dear, Chakal, this is simply not true. I am not attacking you or criticizing you, we don’t know what we don’t know. You have the RIGHT to all essential services outside Quebec in French. This is outlined in the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms. For example, If you got into a skiing accident in Banff and can only speak French, a translator will be found. I now live in Alberta and know someone who was called upon for jury duty, and the stipulation is that jurors MUST speak French at the request of the defendant. And of corse education must be accessed in either language if you chose. These are examples of your human rights being upheld. However, this does not apply in Quebec for Anglos. Quebec has its own charter.
Again, not attacking or criticizing. It’s just a good to know fact that is pertinent to the topic at hand.
Quebec IS a nation and French IS its official language. That's a fact. People died for this. Anglos been trying to assimilate us and force us to anglicize ever since France abandoned its Canadian colony. I'm (obviously) bilingual, and people are free to speak english in Quebec, but the official language here is French, law or no law. Only in Quebec is there dissent about people having to learn the LOCAL LANGUAGE. Anywhere else in the world, learning the local language is NORMAL. There is hate against french here.
Nope
Last I checked Quebec is a province and not a nation. I don't see how the anglos are trying to assimilate francos. What I do see are canadians fighting for their right to seek education in english. The absurd notion you are presenting is foolhardy at best. At no point in the history of this province has there been a law requiring french speakers to be educated in english and it is shameful to assume someone defending their rights is somehow an assault on yours. You can call quebec a nation all you want but the sovereignty we enjoy is provided and upheld by the federal government and I am proud to say we live in a bilingual nation
You brought it on yourselves you arrogant bunch.
The French in Canada are a defeated nation and if not for the mercy of the English would've been assimilated and lost their language/culture. Quebec is not a nation it is a province and you have no right to force people to learn French because Quebec is by law a province in a Bilingual country. English and French are acceptable and no language there should be pushed on either group.
If things are so bad there, then there is nothing stopping Quebeckers from calling for another referendum to leave. How's that going? Just don't be surprised when the Cree and Inuit communities of northern Quebec also hold a referendum to leave. Maybe the southern Anglophones too. What's that, you don't like that idea? You wouldn't want to cause assimilation onto others now would you?
The problem in this country is Quebec and their French prime minister it’s their way or no way
Unfortunately, decisions regarding the education system falls under provincial law; not federal. There’s literally nothing Trudeau can do or say about this. The Liberal party doesn’t have majority seating in Quebec; the Coalition Avenir Québec (CAQ) does.
Culture and language are provincial matters
Racist Canada and their racist xenophobic unilingual english culture 🤣
Turdeau doesnt care about Anglos.
This has nothing to do with federal… lol
Actually Turdeau doesn't recognize Quebec as a nation, he never did and neither did his father.

@@toddpick8007
As much as we may hate what Quebec does, Trudeau can’t just start punishing provinces for doing things he doesn’t agree with, that fall under their jurisdiction and not his; especially when it’s only small changes. It’d be vastly overstepping, and it won’t change the minds of the party in control of Quebec, either; it’d just make things harder for its people, and give their provincial government even more fuel for their gripe against the Canadian government. It’d also be a fast track to being voted out; enough people hate Trudeau as it is, without him violating the separation between federal and provincial law.
look at europe, people have to learn several languages . what is the big deal ? French is the second official language in this country . When moving to Quebec, newcomers should learn the language, not just relying on english.
Well said!
These students can barley get a sentence out without making multiple mistakes. Are we teaching these kids to be successful or are we too preoccupied with their "rights" to care about their future, stop whining about rights when you cant even handle your responsibilities
They are bilingual. They likely have one English and one French parent. I don’t find this a problem 🤷♀️
I find it funny how you misspelled "barely" but I still understood what you were trying to say. It's almost as if understanding an issue doesnt always require a high caliber of eloquence. Did you consider that these kids are currently worried about their rights because they care about their future?

I have to disagree, potato head, and agree with Squirrel man. There are many French speaking peoples in the world. I don’t understand why there is such snobbery toward the French of Quebec.
The French that people speak in France is beautiful and so easy for me to understand. Unfortunately, I can’t say the same about the French spoken in Quebec.

@@neofils I recently found out that all three of my Great Grandfather's were Master Mariners. First two from PEI, Captain James Douglas Warrem ( Middle) came to explore the Salish Sea in 1858.

Still researching what my father left me & was mostly unbeknownst before the 215 body's were found in Kamloops. J.D. married Tutsumutsa Edenshaw a Chief's daughter from the Haida Gwaii. After internment to Kuper Island, she survived to be the oldest native to die on Vancouver Island in 1931 at 104 and so much more.
French is dying, importing French speakers is also a weak solution. Math says you have to make your own French-Canadian babies, language laws are done by the weak and is a sign of pure unbridled desperation. This is not the solution, all your doing is pushing people out of the province; which leads to even less people. No thinking skills from these Quebecers, the education system has failed in Quebec.

Did your rude and opportunistic ancestors learn the native languages when they settled in Quebec ?
Racist angryphone immigrant like you is a shame for Canada. You dont desereve to be in Canada. Real anglos are not like you.
The question comes down to this: Which community has the legitimacy to integrate individuals, the anglophone minority or the French-speaking majority? The answer to me is clearly the latter. The Charter of the French language should fully apply to Cégep, period. As Québec is the only French-speaking jurisdiction in North America, I have zero sympathy for people promoting freedom of choice when it goes against everything I hold dearly as Québécois. French isn't an option among many. It's not a ''nice-to-have'' nor a "beautiful language" to promote. It's a THE national and cultural language by which Québécois uniquely express who they are as a people. When there are pushbacks, coercion becomes necessary. Bien hâte que cette loi soit adoptée!
Presque un million d’anglophones habitent la région montréalaise, et ils paient des taxes. Alors, ils ont le droit d’avoir des services éducatifs en anglais. Ils n’est pas compliqué.
@@protestadventures Mais je suis bien d'accord! Les anglophones nés au Canada sont des ayants droit Québécois à qui on doit de fournir des services dans leur langue. Dorénavant, les cégeps anglophones n'auront pas le choix que d'accepter tous les ayants-droit anglophones, peu importe leur cote R. Mais il a aussi été démontré que les anglophones du Québec n'ont pas un niveau suffisant de français après le secondaire. Or s'ils veulent s'intégrer au marché du travail et demeurer au Québec, ce que tous les Québécois souhaitent par ailleurs, alors ils doivent détenir les outils de base de cette société. Crier au scandale et à l'oppression devant l'ajout de 3 cours de français me semble tiré par les cheveux.
