 Coolness: 685790 | The guy in that video is absolutely right, and it pisses me off to no end how widely accepted it is. |

| Coolness: 158935 | wow. hmmm i really don't share his opinions. but anyway...i think the guy is too extreme and i would like to know his opinions about the native question. he's there talking about himself and his poor existence. he sound like a self absorb asshole. i wonder how he would have taken to be a jew in the gaz showers.
i think we should speak mohawk or algonquin. that would be great. |

| Coolness: 685790 | You bring up the jews in the gas showers.. That was all over what imaginary friend a person believes in and what colour eyes and hair people had. Is it that much of a stretch of the imagination to see how the typical french anti-anglo mentality is not that much diffrent than the nazis and the jews/non-blond-hair-blue-eyed population?
There are LAWS forcing people to learn a language to stay in the country or get a job, even though our province is *BI*lingual (ie french AND ENGLISH), there's one of the 2 languages that doesn't "count" when you look for a job or get services. |

 Coolness: 93300 | I seriously am surprised that this thread has turned into a language debate, seeing as how its origin was meant to spark a discussion about non-functioning and archaic structures in the modern corporate world...
But on the subject of language debate, I agree that the bald man speaking in the video was a bit too extreme in his views of the evolution of language protectionism, I also agree that Quebec Anglo’s are often overlooked by their French counter parts and that by the Canadian charter of rights and freedoms, Quebec Anglo’s have the least amount of rights compared to any resident in any other province(this a joke referring to the fact that Quebec is not in the Canadian charter of rights and freedoms, for those of you that have never read it). Often the question then is “why not just move to another province? ". And though in some ways that might solve an individuals woe here and there, there is also something to be said about being born in a province and calling it home. I understand and appreciate the intricate and somewhat divided history of this province (which is part of the reason I love it and love to call it my home) but as it often happens in real life, sometimes when people are pushed to the extreme (or so we have been told) they adopt a counter measure extreme that can be as damaging, only no longer to them directly (though the indirect damage is and can often be felt as well, i.e. brain drain, altered competitive economics etc.) When a language that is integral part of a majority culture, history and identity is threatened over several generations, one can only assume that the defensive and protective nature eventually asserted in an effort to erode this threat may impose change on other languages and cultures as well. Throw in some bated politics, cultural propaganda and controlling religion and you have a fertile atmosphere for some seriously skewed perspectives as well as reactionary and often overcompensated legislation. ANyways, though long winded perhaps a bit convoluted, all I wanted to convey was that the language debate in our belle province is far from over and thanks to the media and bitter blood on several sides, it may never come to be settled... Ufot-live free and die hardest? |

There are LAWS forcing people to learn a language to stay in the country or get a job, even though our province is *BI*lingual (ie french AND ENGLISH), there's one of the 2 languages that doesn't "count" when you look for a job or get services. actually the bill 101 or charter of the french language imply that the ONLY OFFICIAL language in quebec is french. since 1974 quebec is not bilingual. you should return check your history books. hehe ;P i really see some bad advantages to this system for english people as well as french people too! i got to pay 500$ for a certified translation of all my school transcript because i need them to pursue my studies down here! the commission scolaire de mtl don't want to issue them in english. it's a pain in the butt. i also found out that the new ambiance outside of mtl can be difficult for immigrant. i have friends that french is their third or fourth language and often people are being rude and ignore them in social activity because they don't want to speak english for political reason. that i call that bull shit and a serious omission to ethiquette. i know english speakers who voted yes to both referendum... it's not just a question of language. i think that every nation should be master in their own territory. federation sucks. ps: vivre libre ou mourir! |

 Coolness: 201425 | I hate that Quebec both forces immigrants to learn french but at the same time is incredibly racist and won't hire them . |
