It seems to be very easy to paint all people with one brush.
Perhaps a hell of a lot easier than taking the time to ask your local MP why she/he has done and said NOTHING about over 2 MILLION English speaking Quebeckers having their language, culture, ability to make a living and their RIGHTS removed?
Why are you all so SILENT about this. Our voices and protests and cries for help.. have been totally ignored - by the Politicians (who've sold us down the river - to the Separatists - for votes.. and by YOU our FELLOW CANADIANS... who pretend we don't exist!
Why don't you speak up? Why don't you tell your MP's they WILL NOT get your vote.. unless and until ALL Canadians have their RIGHTS.
For God's sake and your sake Help us. Because believe me, if it can happen to us... it sure as hell can happen to you. Is this the kind of Canada you want?
Unfortunately for your point, but fortunately for everyone else, the "they" you refer to is a loud minority in Quebec. There may be regions where that portrayal is accurate, but it doesn't define the general population of the province.
1 and 2. I have had bad experiences everywhere. It happens. There are dumb people in every province and city, and living on every block. Nothing you can do about it, but using it as the basis for generalization doesn't do anybody any good.
3 and 4. That's the government, not the people there. The government has its own culture that seems to have pervaded all parties.
5. The language laws are annoying, but they are very rarely a restriction of rights.
Mon ami,
You LIE when you say, "The language laws are annoying, but they are very rarely a restriction of rights."
Non Francophone Quebecers have lost all the rights that the Rest of Canada has!
To lose, language, culture, schools, institutions, media, the ability to make a living in English...
IS A BIG DEAL. Our RIGHTS HAVE BEEN STOLEN AND WE DEMAND THEM BACK.
