- "There could be a better way of doing things,” says Jackie Calixte, as she and her family have decided to leave Quebec and return to the U.S. after Bill 96 - the province's French language law - was passed. Felisha Adam reports.

If they are leaving because of bill 96, why are they mad that the little girl has to go to a french school? This has been a requirement for more than 40 years. Bill 96 has nothing to do with this

They are most likely mad because they are being forced to to send their child to a French school
Learning french is a terrific advantage to anyone ,but the economic language is english. The continual pressure put on all communities will have a detrimental impact on the english and young francophone community when more and more employers leave quebec.
No one should be forced to learn any language they dont want, typical french arrogance and ignorance, they would force it on the world if they could..

You all laughing, but what is not said is all the skilled labor going to English speaking provinces.. when Quebec has a serious labor shortage. Meanwhile European countries teach English language in their schools without being so insecure about loosing their culture
And that's precisely how they don't lose their culture. English is simply a second language, it doesn't take over.
English classes are mandatory in every school in Québec from grade 4 onwards...
And the reason why other countries don't loose their culture, is because they are countries. English isn't "simply a second language" in Québec, it's a lot more complicated than that.
Source? We probably have more tech jobs than anywhere in the country, proportionally.. even after bill 101. Doubt this moves the needle.
@@whataday443 Belgium has two languages, Switzerland has four languages... And they learn English, and they are countries like Canada which has two official languages. Look at Canada government website, two languages. The sad thing is , in Quebec by making obstacles and imposing, don't help matters at all. English school do full 100% French immersion programs but they still get defunded
@@notlessgrossman163 the rate of bilingualism in Quebec is the highest in the country, higher even than NB.
Companies will be leaving because of bill 96.
which ones ?
The requirements stays the same for the big companies that actually make money. There will be no change.
Quebecers need to get rid of Legault. He can stay in Quebec by himself

Better to move to Ontario or alberta.
When you live in the US everyone has to learn English or Spanish quickly. Just like France, if you move there you have to learn the lingo quickly or you’re lost.
Except the US and France are countries, not states inside a country. Also the US and France don't have language protection laws, they are confident in the usefulness of their language. Only a useless lingo requires a law to protect it.

I agree with the American family because I hate living in Quebec, too.
The reasons given by this family for returning to Michigan are ambiguous. Initially, the report specifies that they came to settle in Quebec, in Montreal, because they have family here and they wanted to get closer and give their daughter a chance to learn French. Then comes Bill 96 which does not suit them and they decide to return to Michigan where the chances of learning French for their daughter are certainly less, even zero.
Yes... Because learning French at the cost of failing out of school is not worth it. It takes more than 6 months to learn a language from scratch, especially as a child in full time school!
Talk to any immigrant to Quebec, almost everyone is trying to learn and use french, but that doesn't happen overnight. And as you yourself point out, that's really hard to do before you move to Quebec.
Canada is an officially bilingual country, as it should be. It is surprising that all of the negative comments here regarding Bill 96 on the protection of French in Quebec come from individuals in provinces where English is the official language, either de facto or by government legislation, while only one province has bilingual status, i.e. New Brunswick and only Quebec has had French as an official and common language since 1974. According to the 2021 Canadian population census, 46.4% of Quebecers are bilingual, while only 18% of Canadians other provinces and territories are. Quebec is therefore the most bilingual province in the country. English is the only official language of Alberta, B.C., P.E.I., Manitoba, N.S., Ontario, Saskatchewan and Newfoundland and Labrador.
A francophone outside Quebec must necessarily be bilingual and compel himself to receive limited services in his mother tongue if he wants to survive in this English-speaking sea in the country, which accounts for more than 75% of the Canadian population. This is not the case for a unilingual Anglophone in Quebec, who can live his whole life without having to use the official language, since his rights, services and institutions are protected and equivalent to those of the Francophone majority in the province. , even with the adoption of Bill 96, which also protects, by the way, English as a second language and the languages of the First Nations. English Canada, of which you are a part, has no lesson to teach Quebec, as you do. Your attitude undoubtedly arouses bad reception in Montreal or elsewhere in the province, if you do not have the courtesy to address yourself in French first to the locals, as any good Quebecer does when he is elsewhere in the country.
This family moved here because they loved Quebec and also have close family here...i found this on someone's social media that really stuck and thought i would share- this is not me but really struck a code
I moved to Quebec 17 years ago as a fresh high school graduate. I had moved to pursue a career in contemporary dance and with a wonderfully rich and multi-cultural art scene Montreal was the perfect city.
Hailing from a smaller city in northern British Columbia (10 hrs. north of Vancouver to put it in perspective), I had been put in French immersion as a child in kindergarten and continued all through high school, eventually graduating in grade 12 from the program.
I always felt it was a privilege to learn a second language, especially one that had historical ties to my country and it’s foundation.
When I moved to Montreal I immediately immersed myself in applying my French in as many ways as I could. I wanted to be fully bilingual and desired to put what I had learned to valuable use. I took a roommate who was from Paris, who I was able to practice my French with. I was one of two anglophones in my 3-year pre-professional dance program. All my classes were in French. I got a job at a clothing boutique and restaurant downtown where I was able to use my French. I was and have always been a willing and eager participant to use my second language as much as I can in work and in life.
However what has transpired over the past 17 years since I’ve been a citizen of the province has been supremely discouraging. The incessant focus on French culture being solely identifiable through language has greatly short-changed the beauty of Quebec and it’s history. The bills that have been passed are punitive and a giant slap in the face to it’s citizens who have chosen to make their lives in Quebec. Not only are these bills a danger to the growth of the province but they put unnecessary pressure and restraints on francophones and anglophones alike.
Those who speak French are being purposefully disadvantaged while those who speak English are being penalized. This province has been in a consistent state of unrest and has experienced the economic downfall of such bills. These language bills have given Quebec a reputation for being intolerant, belligerent and stubborn in ways that have never served the greater good of the province and it’s people.
Where I made my way to Quebec with the joy of using and applying my second-language, others have been discouraged to stay and have been forced to leave to be able to work, communicate and live harmoniously. The debate on losing Quebecois culture has always come down to language and with the passing of these laws there has been a cloud cast upon the province.
When I meet people who have lived in Quebec their entire lives and haven’t learned French, I have often thought they missed out greatly on the opportunity to learn a second language. Their loss, for who wouldn’t want to learn a second language that can so often be applied and utilized? I have always considered it a privilege to learn a second language that I can use. I have always thought it a blessing that I was able to use French right out of high school, for if I had stayed in B.C. I surely would have lost everything I learned. However when it is being forced and pushed down your throat, there is a certain reaction that in turn follows.
This forced focus of learning French to appease a nationalistic ideal has caused the opposite result of what, I believe, the province of Quebec would intend.
When the preservation of culture relies solely on language, how can one be enticed or encouraged to learn more about the culture? How rich is a culture that bases it’s sole value on language? Why would people feel encouraged to embrace a culture that so blatantly disregards it’s own place in the tapestry of a country that has been built on cultural diversity? How does Quebec expect to attract the people it needs for it’s own growth and sustainability? What will happen to it’s people who will be kept uneducated in the primary language of business, in the WORLD?
I truly believe it is not only the anglophones who should feel disgruntled (and we are) but also the Francophones, who are being disenfranchised at every turn. Any government taking away the right to learn the primary language of the country (and the world) is not interested in serving in the best interest of it’s people.
At the rate at which Quebec is going, the province will become a historical shell, made completely irrelevant in the modern world of progress. When a majority of high-income earners are anglophone what will the province then do when, for the second time ‘round, people leave for another province and take their contributions and wealth with them? Will the Francophones pick up the pieces and make up those lost numbers?
It is so unfortunate that it has come to this, but what is more unfortunate is that should people remain complacent, silent and accepting, Quebec will become a graveyard of missed opportunity, lost potential and a provincial-prison for those who are being continuously disadvantaged by the belief being pushed that Quebec culture is solely based on language.
Nice story. Thanks for sharing
thanks! long.. but interesting

Obviously you haven't read and understood the report
Lol come to Montréal and wish to become bilingual... Then cry over Bill 96 that will help her becoming bilingual.
😂
This is the same story almost everyone moving to Quebec has (even those from France). We want to learn Québécois French, many of us are very invested. And it's more than just for fun; we recognize how culturally important it is.
But Bill 96 effectively says "use C1 French right now or die."
We want to get to C1 I promise you! But no working class, average person can do that in 6 months, let alone one day of school.
I've been rushing through a French program myself. I love the language and I love learning it! Buy I'm already 3 months in and only A1. I suspect another 7 months till B2, and probably a year then until C1, which is pretty much a must to do business and education in any language.
Learn French, it's not hard. They give you 6 months to have FUNCTIONAL FRENCH. If you don't want to use French as your daily language of instruction, work and life, then you're free to LEAVE QUEBEC.
You can get to b1 in maybe 6 months . Depends on how long you study everyday
Im against bill 96 but of course i want immigrants to learn french no quebecers wants to see french disappear.
Move to the TORONTO Area and enroll your daughter in a French-language school program here. There is a GROUNDSWELL of such French-language school programs in the Toronto region that Quebecois are ignorant of. I speak as a retired Toronto who left Montreal in 1981.
the amount of french language school and medial clinics IN ONTARIO is outragious=NOT NECESSARY for LESS THAT 5% of the french-only langugae Ontario population-IT IS DISGUSTING for ME to PAY TAXES on a service that i sNOT NECESSARY/NOT NEEDED/and only SEGREGATES. take your fake french encouragements elsewhere, p&ty.
Ah yes, and only be able to use said French only in those schools. Good plan.

The only province trying to protect their culture and they should be praised for it. All the disgruntled migrants say "Well we loved the IDEA of living in french culture but learn the language? What?"
Quebec has found a way to stymie Trudeau's mass immigration plan. Smart people.
Being served a café crême with a croissant is so cute. They probably never thought that speaking French would be associated with it.
what about other people language...their part of Africa where Native African don't even speak their own language just French...not to mention this land really belongs to indigenous population 😒 Colonial bull smh

Typical self centered reply, by far the most divisive , racist and backwards province in canada, they are so scared of english they have to legislate against it..
Not really, birthrate is well below replacement. Quebec needs immigration, they just want to put lots of rules on it. If people were truly interested in preserving culture they would have 3+ kids, not rely on the government.
Ontario has 600,000 Franco-Ontarians who have only one hospital which the Ontario government strongly wanted to close and the Franco-Ontarians have just had their first university in 2021 located in Toronto, while the majority of French live in Ottawa.
Quebec has 660,000 Anglo-Quebecers who have nearly 20 hospitals including a huge brand new McGill University Hospital and they have 3 universities for a very long time.
Quebec is NOT racist.
L'Ontario compte 600 000 Franco-Ontariens qui n'ont qu'un seul hôpital que le gouvernement ontarien voulait fortement fermer et les Franco-Ontariens viennent d'avoir leur première université en 2021 située à Toronto, alors que la majorité des Français vivent à Ottawa.
Le Québec compte 660 000 Anglo-Québécois qui ont près de 20 hôpitaux dont un immense tout nouveau l'Hôpital universitaire McGill et ils ont 3 universités depuis très longtemps.
Le Québec n'est PAS raciste.
It's hard I was held back because of French didn't matter if I had high grades only language credits matter had to leave to become successful not everyone can speak French just like some Quebecois don't speak English.

The fringe minority who dont speak French should just get out of Quebec. Quebec should be independent from Canada.
Why do you care if 5.5% of the Quebec Population doesn't speak French? Is it going to change your life if they learn it?
I speak French Fluent and i live in quebec and never left (exept one time). When i saw bill 96 getting pass i just tough it was dumb, why make people speak french, french is a hard language to learn so i dont think they should learn it and they will speak english no matter what the gouvernement says.
I wish more people are as open-minded as you
Laisse moi deviner, de l’ouest de l’île?!😂😂😂
The powers that be in Quebec believe that the survival of French depends on the vast majority of Quebecers being unilingually French (but their kids will have to know English because the powers that be know it is for their professional betterment).
Most people in Montreal speak both languages. A lot of them speak 3-4 languages. People in English provinces cannot even manage 2 languages. 😂
There are plenty of examples around the world of countries with more than one languages. Check India Brussels Swiss and many others. None of them established by law the use of only one language in a part of the country.
Definitely not democratic and against human rights.

Why would they move anywhere in Canada from the US, they left Michigan on the first place to get exposed to French ….. way better state than any province in Canada
Quebec should be bi-linguiste..English is spoken everywhere..French is garder to learn ..just 6 months to learn it is crazy

@@trevorchabot864 Nope, English and French are official languages at the federal level, which only applies to federal institutions. For provinces only NB is bilingual, Quebec is unilingual French and all other provinces are unilingual English.

Hey Quebec c français
Tu apprends la langue ou tu peux sortir c facile comme ça 🤷🏽♂️ mais je suis américain comme la famille dans cette vidéo et je peux parler en français 😂
My daughter learned French in US high school and university, no need to go to Quebec.
I get it. I do.
But if you really wanted your kids to be bilingual in French and English, there are other Canadian provinces that offer that possibility. One is even officially bilingual.
Not sure going back to the US will get you what you wanted in the first place.
@Simone Beauvoir there's better than Fredericton. Don't be so narrow minded. The point is that Montreal isn't the only place it can be done. Do you really disagree with that?
@Simone Beauvoir well, they did specifically move to Montreal. You are right. They had to pick a city. Could have gone to Ottawa, couple hours away, bilingual, closer to family than the states.
Again, the choice of Montreal isn't the main topic of the interview. It's about language laws. There were alternatives to just giving up and going back is all.
I have a feeling you're bored and just want to argue for the sake of arguing. I gave my point of view. Unless you're that family, you can't speak for them. I only speak on their choice.
All provinces are officially bilingual. It's in the Constitution. Quebec tries to weasel its way out. Not anymore. Time we defend our rights.
@@trevorchabot864 You know... there's a difference between National Official Languages and a legally bilingual province right?
@@hewhodies Provinces can only control their own institutions. But english is official in the National Assembly, the courts, it's guaranteed in healthcare and schools. That leaves publicly owned businesses and by some cheeky magic in the French Charter, private ones. Neither of which are a form of government.
Everyone has been ignoring these conflicts because of what they(the Elites) term "linguistic peace". English is official across the whole country.
If they wanted to learn a second language, they should've actually tried instead of quitting midway. Whether you support Bill 96 or not learning a language takes practice. If they're not willing to put in the effort, then they should move to Ontario instead.
I had to work hard to learn English when I immigrated here, my parents did too, we didn't chicken out because it got too hard.
I think they are not opposing learning it, but rather opposing the pressure to learn it with the deadlines and stuff. It’s not like Quebec are letting people learn it on their own pace.
English is way more useful than French in a global context. Can't really equate the 2 languages having equal importance. One is vital for job security. The other is more of a cultural hobby thing. 2nd language is a major time commitment that not everyone have the luxury of enjoying. The arrogance of people in Quebec to shove this down people throats without a care in the world for individual's circumstances.
This right here is what we call a victim blamer
You weren't giving a deadline to learn it
I lived in Europe for 11 years and am fluent in Spanish. French in PQ is not French, not sure what it is but its not French.

Don't get me wrong, I speak both French and English fluently and think that this bilingualism in Canada is a big scam. I don't know why Quebec hasn't become a souverain country yet?! I know they tried twice but come on quebequers you have to convince those who voted against sovereignty to be on your side and this will solve the problem.
D'accord mais dites ca aux anglophones du Québec , car c'est un peut eux qui ont fait en sorte que le Québec reste dans le Canada ..... l'un des 2 referendum à échouer de même pas 1% si je ne me trompe pas...
Et le problème ces qu'ils ne veulent pas quitte mais ne veulent pas être indépendant car ils ce sentent sûrement plus canadiens j'imagine.
My brothers and my friends moved from Ontario and other parts of Canada to come to Quebec thinking that they will get a job over here and only require to speak French but it's not the case on Montreal where you need to be bilingual to get a job. Until other provinces stop discriminating Francophone who do not speak English Quebec should fully impose French only at every single place unless French is dead in the next 10 years.. Believe me.
I went all across Canada and met one million people, all of them spoke perfect french. Believe me.
Quebec should fight for French. If not, they will be like Uyghur people in China or Russians in Ukraine, with no rights and no language. I fully support Quebec in their battle to maintain French.
@Simone Beauvoir Don't feed the troll.
@Simone Beauvoir I have no doubt you often cannot find service in your language. The same happens to anglophones, in Quebec. We both could go back and forth with stories that are very true, but cannot be proven. That's my point. Anyways, I'm done for now, this channel is going to ban me for spam comments.
@Simone Beauvoir if you want to protect the french regions, go for it. I'm going to protect the english ones, and the english/french ones. That is the only way forward. Montreal is Montreal. It needs to stay bilingual.
The AMOUNT of anglophone privilege they have. I am American, I have lived in Québec for over a year in a half, I speak French and I support most of Bill 96. If you move somewhere, you LEARN THE LANGUAGE OF THE AREA. It is obvious they didn’t enrol their daughter in French school which will only set her up for failure.
@@DiscreetPete5050 Move to BC, try to speak French only, see how far that gets you. Canada is only a bilingual country at a federal level, each province gets to choose how they manage their language(s).
Yes, and you know what? You are now better qualified to get a job, (in Quebec or anywhere else) compared to an anglophone in Quebec having the same qualifications, but who does not speak and write French, after going to high school and university in Quebec. I say this not as a Francophone, but as an Anglophone who went to university in French, after doing high school and Cegep in English. If I had not learned French well enough, I probably wouldn't have the professional job I have now, in Montreal, the city where I was born.
There are better ways than B-96 Simon J-B could have made Anglophone Cegep studens acquire French (such as offering a Certificat de compétence linguistique, in exchange for doing 3 courses or writing or communication courses in French), but making those Cegep students become fluent in French will help them, regardless of how reluctant they are to do it. Stepping out of the comfort zone was the best decision I've ever made.

The Bill clearly makes it tougher for immigrants to get a equal footing so by your comment we know what side you are on.
When will people get this into their heads, Quebec is French province, its not bilingual, its French, if you want to live here you must speak French. Anglophones and other non French speakers have the rest of Canada to move to and make a home in, Toronto is just a few hours by Train from Montreal and is a fantastic city. Anglophones who chose to remain in Quebec must accept that they are 2nd to Francophones.

Here's some more facts maybe people don't know the details of Bill
“If Bill 96 is passed, here are some of its points that may directly impact Quebec’s anglophone population.
Doctors will be required to address all their patients in French.
Speaking French will be mandated in companies with more than 25 employees.
The number of mandatory French CEGEP courses for anglophone students will increase to five.
Limitations on the number of students accepted into English-speaking schools will be set.
Fines of up to $30,000 and the revoking of the status of companies may be enacted if there are repeated incidents of employees communicating in other languages.
Documents submitted to local government agencies to obtain permits, subsidies or financial assistance must be written exclusively in French.
The government will have the right to seize one’s work phone to verify that they are communicating in French.
Those who attended English schools in Quebec or in another province will be granted “historic anglophone” status and will therefore be allowed to keep doing so.
A French-language minister will be appointed and put in charge of ensuring compliance with the new legislation.”
thanks for summary!
According to Bill 101 an Employer can't demand that a Employee speaks English to get hired. It's a law that has never been applied cause you can't prove that you weren't hired because you spoke only French
Bill 96 should be over turned, they make other provinces be bilingual yet they only are French. Not good, the rest of the country better get rid of French in school.
The only bilingual province in Canada is New-Brunswick. All of the "bilingual" things you complain about in English provinces are also true in Québec. Québec has bilingual product labels, mandatory English classes for French students and government services offered in English. The rate of French-English bilinguals is also higher in Québec than anywhere else.
😁
I support Bill 96. Quebec has to enforce French at all levels. If not, they will end up like Russian speaking people in Ukraine with no rights, which provoked a war in Ukraine.
And if we stop equalization payments to your province, will you vote to separate again?
@@lorenzomabalos9851 PE, NB, NS, MB receive more equalization payment per people than QC
@@lorenzomabalos9851 We will survive, we are just behind norway. Quebec economy is still very good buddy
@@octaner you'll be poor when you finally separate from Canada, because you live on nothing but welfare payments from Ottawa.
We will survive, we are just behind norway. Quebec economy is still very good buddy
Thanks for contributing towards affordable housing by freeing up space!
Father when daughter speaks 😬
So , I support the French they have the right
'Black' people ESPECAILLY are familiar with SERGEGATION. Sorry to see you go due just to these circumstances=a reputation that the rest of CANADA DOES NOT DESERVE.
Sorry to this family. Someone should have told them to just not move to Quebec. Anywhere else in Canada is better
C'est en forgeant qu'on devient forgeron. Practice makes perfect. Si vous n'essayez pas d'apprendre le français, et de l'utiliser, vous ne le ferez jamais.That girl can learn French easily considering her age. The brain is designed to learn any language if you have the attitude.
if you wanted to teach a child to swim, you don't throw them into the deep end of the pool. I'm sorry if it's hard for you to understand but it's not easy to become fluent in a language in six months, especially for a 9 year old. I live in Quebec, am an anglophone and it took me at least 9 years to become semi-fluent in french starting in kindergarten. how is a third grader with 0 background in french going to do that in a year?
stop defending a frankly authoritarian and borderline Orwellian bill.
@@veganpepperoni Yes, i agree you need some time to master a language and more$$$$$$$ is needed to hire more French teachers and provide more courses for free. If the Quebec government wants more people using the language of Moliere they have to provide more help. People will provide the attitude to learn French but Quebec must provide more money to teach French. No everyone has the money to place their children in fancy schools where they can have more hours of instructions in French. And courses for adults at the Alliance Francaise are not cheap either.
There are plenty of better Canadian provinces.
Can I move there without bothering to learn english?
@@magnang Only in New-Brunswick, the ONLY bilingual province.
Sadly you need loads of cash. BC literally means Bring Cash
Like Yukon?
Nobody speaks Quebec French outside of the Prov.of Quebec.. It is virtually not understood in France or Her other colonies or former Colonies ... how can we justify inflicting this handicap on our children
False
Nobody speaks Canadian English outside of Canada.. It is virtually not understood in the UK or Her other colonies or former Colonies ... how can we justify inflicting this handicap on our children
That's BS Quebec is doing fine speaking french We have the lowest crime rate in North America, emit the least pollution, and we have the longest life expectancy.
I wouldn't move to Michigan without learning English. It's up to those that come here to adapt, not us.
@@magnang I would move to Michigan to force the local population to learn Chinese
The French taught in schools in Québec is 100% the same French they teach in France. There is no "Québec French", what you're referring to is no more than an accent and a different speech pattern. French people can understand it, it's just that most of them aren't exposed to it much throughout their life, so it takes them aback when they first hear it. Kind of like an American hearing a thick Scottish accent for the first time.
But they didn't leave when the Quebec government imposed a province-wide curfew TWICE.
Perhaps if you had fought hard against that, the Quebec government would have been more reticent to trample of people's rights.
Ah victim blaming, they deserve to have to leave huh?
@@chrisc5334 How is it victim blaming? It's simply pointing out that if you don't stand up for rights unless its convenient for you, you can't complain.
Bill 96 is essentially the reason why they won the election, not sure what you're talking about here.
@@chrisc5334 lol
Good for them, there's a better world outside jail.
They should come to Vancouver
DO YOU NO WHAT bilingo means fool
To learn Chinese?
@@abczzz9233 We have french immersion
Vancouver is uninhabitable.
Snowflakes
Based Francophones anglos BTFO
so, Quebec is removed from my list of potential next steps.
Bill 96 working as intended thank god
It was only potential... so nothing serious there.
Ran very far away
The filter is working good
Quebec got rejected lol
Non seulement toi lol
@@nicolasg.514 Quebec is always the outcast
@@georgiejackpot9540
Non seulement de toi 🤷♂️
@@nicolasg.514 they always get left out of the family bbq. Quebecers smell bad , collect welfare and smoke a lot . Rust of the earth
Encore l’idiot de redneck angryphone, alors comment va ta petite haine traditionnelle! Vite un psychiatre!👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼😂🤣😂🤣😁😘
It's time to cut off the transfer payments to Quebec.
What Quebec's real problem is homelessness and immigrants that are very religious.
Move to another province.
Move to Vancouver instead
Pleease do
Hongcouver you mean? It's uninhabitable
@@lorenzomabalos9851 Maybe yes for racist idiots like you
@@Illlllllllllllllllllllxi Move to Paris instead.
@@josevilas4927 je bougerai pas mais toi peut etre ya l'amérique entière pour etre un anglolatre soumis
bi-lingual isnt the only bi she will become in canada as you can see from the hairdo
Really😳 Picking on a KID? Are u for real you ignorant homophobic idiot. Having blue hair doesn't make you BI. SMH😳
Good for them. How narrow minded of Bill 96. She'll be better off in Michigan. Just another form of racism.
French language is dead on indigenous lands.
English kept for international trade.
Officially
lol good
what up cockroach
Quebec should be forced to speak a Native American language then.
Let's pray to the most high God that Legault won't get voted again. Whether he knows it or not, he is racist towards the english. Not only has the freaking pandemic caused division among us but now him with his Bill 96 will drive the anglophones out of this city/province. Don't forget Legault, the native american indians were here before any French Canadian. Get off your high horse and stop making excuses about preserving the French language. Quebec is french enough!! Remember its your loss when the rest of english Quebec will ditch this highly taxed and racist province. Thumbs down to you!!
Je me souviens.
Hate to break it to you but the rest of Canada is also deeply racist.
See the dead indigenous kids buried behind schools, their forced sterilisation programs, the highway of tears.. none of those are in Quebec.
@@whataday443 Je me souviens 1996 Referendum. Montreal became a ghost town. English business owners took their business to Ontario.
@@giovannaparente917 So who's racist again? Je me souviens of who the real racists are. Je me souviens of what real segregation is.
Keep crying your crocodile tears buddy.
@@giovannaparente917 Lol what.
Leave the most racist province in the Country…….wonder why?
The most racist are in the Prairies.
Yes just look at the party CAQ no person of color.. SMH
@@abczzz9233 …..we don’t pass silly laws like you do.
