Many immigrants lured to Quebec by a government eager to recruit outsiders are amazed to discover that once they arrive there they can simply and freely cross the border to Ontario and live there. Why would an immigrant from a non-French speaking country chose to live in a linguistic ghetto?
-
So how come I have to deal with everything in two languages in Ontario, when Quebec is forcing out english speaking people? Why are we speaking french?

She is not even from Canada. She has no right to tell the Québécois that they do not need to protect their language. Can you imagine someone going to her country and telling her government to use a particular language? Si elle n'aime pas la langue française, ce n'est pas le problème des gens de La Belle Province. Moi, j'adore la langue de Molière.

NOTHING CHANGED SINCE 1972! STILL SAME AGENDA!

If you’re francophobic, why choose Québec anyway? There is 9 province and 52 state where you can be as much racist against québécois as you want, in ENGLISH! 200 millions anglophones in North America, but lets go in the only francophone place and not learn anything about them anyway…

She's been in Québec for three years and she cannot speak French.

In Alberta, we know that large parts of Northern Alberta were settled long ago by Francophones. We don't talk about these people in a poor light at all. We send billions in oil revenues to Quebec, and we don't tell them how to run their province. See why we keep talking about Western Separation here too?

A good reporter would have explained exactly what is in the Bill as part of the report.

One of the main reasons Quebec accepted migrants and immigrants is because they wanted new Canadians to learn their language and live in Quebec as French speakers to preserve their language and culture. What is being asked of these new people is nothing new and it’s part of the deal Quebec made with the federal government.

I think Ontario should adopt Bill 97...English only in Ontario. I actually like the idea of two official languages in our country, but that should apply to ALL provinces and if it's not then other provinces should opt out.
-
Having looked up the bill it reminds me of my education in French Catholic schools growing up in Ontario. Instead of focusing on promoting and celebrating the French language they would punish you for speaking in English. I grew up in a bilingual household (Mother bilingual, father English only). This is the worst possible way to promote and preserve the French language...

While i agree we need to protect french language in Quebec…. It cannot be used as a weapon against anglophones. This is a discriminatory policy and anti immigrant and anti Canadian.
-
Just break it off, it’s obvious that Quebec has their own culture, their own ideas and no longer wants to be apart of Canada, in fact they do literally everything to distance themselves from other Canadian provinces, Quebec doesn’t want to be apart of Canada, why try to hold them back.
-
She came to Quebec thinking that she wouldn't need to use french. What did she expect? It's up to her to do her research about which language she will need to learn to live in a given place. I'm offended by the fact that people think they can come to Quebec and think that french is 'optional', as if english was optional when I lived in Toronto. Imagine if I went to Toronto and was like "yeah I'm not really gonna learn english sorry, but still give me a job and stuff"

Let them be an independent country, let them have their own language, have their own national coat of arms and flag. All other colors and Anglos leave forever. However, they need a passport to enter ALL other Canadian provinces!
-
Has it ever occurred to you that this was the intent?
-
Those settlers wants other people to learn thier language but still ban native Canadian language. Where the bill to make native language as federal language.
-
This young woman is learning a valuable lesson. The government will do what they want with or without your approval with your tax dollars.
-
Force Quebecers to do everything in indigenous languages
-
A lot of the immigrants who choose Quebec come from regions of the world where French is widely spoken. I don’t see this law as discriminatory. I can’t imagine living in Toronto or Vancouver and complaining about having to learn English. If you want to immerse yourself into a community, you should try to learn the language that is spoken by the locals and not impose yourself wherever you go…
