Dissolve The OLF

Immediately.

They will do major damage to this province.

This is getting completely out of hand and it's time Francophones need to stand up and truly protect their province from collapse.

Does this sound reasonable to you?

Wait.

It gets worse.

Check this story about an IGA store manager personally applying her own interpretation of Bill 101 by forbidding a 17 year-old girl from speaking English to her boyfriend in the lunch room.

IT MADE THE DEMOCRATIC UNDERGROUND. When far left liberals in the USA compare you to Appalachia you know you lost the plot. As you know, Quebec zealots are like the American south circa 1948. And even that region is beginning to leave Quebec in the dust now. Explosion of business opportunities and the changing face of demographics is making the American south the new pink.

Lemme be clear here. This tit for tat angle used by Francophones doesn't cut it. If they're being told to not speak French elsewhere this is wrong and it infringes on their civil liberties. I will defend this right to the death. Quebec, though, is taking it a step further with all this garbage. Besides, we should show how things should be. We shouldn't fall into that 'but in Alberta' logical fallacy. Right is right. Two wrongs don't make a right.

Look, I blame the PQ and Pauline Marois for this. Her lack of wisdom and respect is what emboldens the lowest common denominator to go vigilante on fellow citizens. That the CAQ would even consider supporting Bill 14 on any level blows my mind away. For all the business talk the CAQ makes, it will be for not if they don't

Not to go Godwin on you, but when you add up the vigilantism against English and all the language laws, how is this not a form of Nazism again? I can't see on any intellectual or moral level how this sort of behavior is justified. Lisee is asking for 'sensible application of the law' but this is laughable as we can see. When people are given a chance to piss on other people...they will. And it's especially galling when one side is backed by the state and the other is powerless. 

I despise the PQ for the snooping and intolerant society it is attempting to instill.

"From  CNN to the BBC the world has seen the face of Quebec cultural prejudice from "Pastagate" to "Pastrygate" to"Turbangate" to now "Spoongate" - which has already gone viral on social media - turbocharged since the election of this government."

And

"Another matter that makes the "Spoongate" affair particularly galling was brought to our attention by attorney and Montreal West councillor Dino Mazzone. He pointed out that there is regulation respecting the language of commerce and business, chapter C-11, r.9, that sets forth exceptions to Section 51 of the Charter of the French Language. Section 3, paragraph (6) states: "An inscription on a product may be exclusively in a language other than French in the following cases: [...] the product is from outside Quebec and the inscription is engraved, baked or inlaid in the product itself, riveted or welded to it or embossed on it, in a permanent manner." 

Clearly Menchie's spoons fall under this exception. But you know what, what citizenry can live like this? Measuring the most mundane daily activity with legal scrutiny? Quebec small businesses already spend some 19 full working days a year on government compliance according to several studies. We don't need exceptions to law in order to live!"

19 days? It's more than that if my business is any indication. We suffocate under various provincial and municipal laws. It's to the point we don't even bother following through with some ideas because we know it will be a battle to get permission from some jerkoff bureaucrat.

Pish-posh! We shall apply the law as we see fit! Fuck you!

I'm part of a couple of publications in the U.S.. Trust me, Quebec has become a joke. 

Here's the thing. The nationalist zealots and its sorrowful band of apologists can't possibly win international public opinion on such trivial matters. Never mind that no one can explain how in the world this actually helps the French language.

Hint: It doesn't. But it does bring about a shitload of humiliation to Quebec. And this is one thing they can't fault 'le federale' for.

You want to win back some measure of respect Quebec? Disband the OLF. Immediately.

All this shit of trying to guess when it's the right time to speak a language because of the full of shit language laws is stressful and bad for business.

How about this...SPEAK THE LANGUAGE YOU CHOOSE AND FIGHT FOR THAT CHERISHED RIGHT.

Push back. She's a bitch.
