Because in our treaties and agreements they are quite literally sovereign nations that have the right to self determination. Unlike the Quebecois, they actually were here first, and they really are a minority at risk of extinction. It’s so strange how French Canadians can’t understand nuance.
No you see the only groups that get to use the government to hurt other groups is the groups I personally like.
Humans are “meant” to be multilingual. That is norm for us. I still remember the small shock I felt when we were visiting my wife’s homeland for the first time and it turns out there is a language with under 6 million people, spoken only in one small region, that she knew plus the most common language of her country.
So yeah this is a group being punished for speaking their own language on land that they originally owned, plus anyone who wants to study there and doesn’t speak French. This is freedom? This is a just society? This is education? Schools are supposed to teach not force monolithic thought and punish people for being born “wrong”.
Wow ok you clearly need to read things slowly. Humans are meant to speak multiple languages, that doesn’t mean governments have a right to say fuck you if you don’t know a particular one.
Got it? Be educated and don’t punish people for not having one random piece of crap in their head. I hope you understand, maybe if you don’t you can have someone translate it for you in the obscure language called French.
The most egregious example would be Bill 21. Absolutely horrendous legislation that does nothing but marginalize those who are already marginalized. Despite what the Quebecois would like you to believe, it’s a piece of proxy legislation that aims to exclude religious and ethnic minorities from Quebec society, plain as day.
Firstly, this isn’t France. We have a charter of rights and freedoms that Quebec used a BS notwithstanding clause to get around so that they could pass the bill. Secondly, there’s practical and effective ways to curb the danger of religion without taking a) taking away people’s livelihoods b) making them choose between their faith and their job and c) forcing them to move out of the province to find a workplace that doesn’t go against Canadian ideals.
Oh the double standards. The religious minorities should be protected at all costs, but the québécois don’t deserve that same protection. It’s always the ““inclusivity/minority activists”” that are the most against Québec when Québec itself fits inside this very definition. For the common good, please just fuck off.
You’ve got an issue with a cultural minority protecting its culture?
Nice spin
That’s exactly what it is though, they would never dare say the same thing about a first Nation community adopting similar rules.

First Nations have no French requirements and are allowed to get service in English in Quebec if they want to, that’s a protected right.
Also very very funny that you would go from saying “Humans are meant to be multilingual” to “I can’t believe they have to learn a second language!”
It’s incredible how easy it is to point out the the Anglo hypocrisy.

Perfect, no language obligations for schools anymore, let’s let French Canadian culture get assimilated by English culture.
Is that what you want? You’re mad that first Nation culture has it rough and your reaction is “This other cultural minority should disappear too”?
You’ve got an issue with people calling out racists and nationalists?
Yes, when that’s not what’s happening I’ve got an issue with it
Great, then you shouldn’t have an issue calling out the CAQ and the nationalists that support them 👍🏼

Can you explain what racism you are talking about?

Just a quick look, that’s just the same as France’s law on religious iconography except only for government employees?
Trying to limit the danger of religion sounds like a good thing to me.

Did you read the bill?
Yes, I did.

It’s really funny how triggered you are. Believe it or not but French speakers aren’t a minority in Quebec. Wild, I know!
