learn it or leave it. Quebec has this anglo's full support

I understand , English speaking Quebecois have to stay and fight for their rights. But, for immigrants and skilled labour why stay . To me quebec and Mississippi have lot in common . Bad roads with a deep rooted hint of RACISM.

Bill96 Quebec real estate developers should invest in projects in the GTA to recoup losses the CAQ will be causing in MTL! Idiot politicians are eroding a once great international city into obscurity and irrelevance.

Could you report on the other side of this issue please? No wonder PP wants you defunded.

I work for a big tech in QC and this is fake news.

Nothing new, the Quebecois having been playing Rene Levesque's & Camille Laurin's playbook since the '70s. Only 6 of 46 of my graduating class of '78 stayed in Quebec. The brain drain has been going on since the '70s, that's why Quebec RECEIVES equalization handouts from Canada.

Tech companies just move Head Offices to Ontario. That's what companies did in 1970's! Bill 96 will not save French in Quebec because there is no French to save. French will always be spoken in Quebec!! This is Separatists in Quebec stirring up trouble 'just cause they can'!

I wish Quebec separated in the 80’s, by now it would just be another English speaking province. The greatest weakness the French possess is their inability to change.

I don't think they want tourists either. We are driving east again this summer but won't stop in Quebec. You find more english signs in China!

I see Quebecs JT approved racism plan. Make it difficult to live in Qurbec and you will move on. We don't want you here so good bye. If this was any other province, Trudeau would have invoked the emergency act to stop it.

Foolish not fact based

Coming soon to a media circus near you: 'Pastagate: Part Deux'

Stupid croissants

Reminds me of the old soviets killing off their poorest most illiterate peasants. Which led to the loss of almost all the grain harvest. Which lead to mass starvation. And the consequent need for signs everywhere saying 'Stop eating your children, it's not OK'.

Pretty sure this is Quebec's racist way to keep out immigrants.

What is unique and special about Quebec is the French language. Totally learnable - don't speak it or want to learn it - go somewhere else.

French needs cultural survive in Qué. But defacto language not just of 27 million Canadians but also US is English & Int'l companies wanting certainty & continuity aren't going choose Qué to base a business. English is language of Hi Tec , Aviation, Mining & law in Qué & Canada.

bone mount

Quebec doesn't need tech or computers. They are back in the dark ages. Soon interment camps for the non French speaking.

Quebec is only intended for the Quebecois, foreigners have a limited future.

We need a bill 101 in Ontario for English

So Quebec will invoke the not withstanding clause?

Quebec is the anus of the country. Who cares?

Quebec companies plead for workers as province focuses on French-speaking immigrantsSome business owners warn Quebec move could put off immigrants with critical skills as Quebec faces Canada’s second-highest job vacancy rate among provinces Et Ottawa refuse les africains francophones d’entrer au pays.
