More Bureaucratic Nonsense From Quebec City

Each time I interview a candidate and ask if they're bilingual I feel like I'm breaking the law. Especially when I see stuff like this.

Ah, the psychological unintended consequences of our pitiful language obsession.

As for the article. Just more paternalistic gibberish.

"The Education Department's confidence in (owner and ex-principal David Zakaib) had been lost in the last seven years," said Vincent Auclair, MNA for Laval's Vimont riding, where the school is located.


"There was a lot of friction between (Zakaib) and the government. He wanted to run his school his way, but the government has certain requirements."

There you go. All you need to know how we function here. This is not a public school folks. It's not about people having the power to innovate on anything. It's about the government keeping close control on any type of innovation that doesn't meet their "requirements."

I don't blame the owner of Academie Lavalloisl. IT'S A PRIVATE SCHOOL. The parents liked the school and the thought that Mme. Courchesne and her tinpot tyrants were ready to shut it down because it wouldn't "conform" is truly cause for concern.

Meanwhile, Quebec's education record is in a free fall.

Don't they genuinely have better things to do?
