Quebec: Shameless Violators Of Constitutional Rights And Laws

As if Francois Legault didn't show himself to be a total totalitarian jack ass during Covid, in he comes with the abomination that is Bill 96 language bill. 

A Bill - that will pass because it's Quebec. A place that's long given up any pretences of being a legitimate function; free democracy -  that joins Bill 21 which garnered negative international attention. A Quebec specialty.

The trend under Legault is to bring Quebec under less a province of laws that respect universal laws and rights but a dictatorial and inward-looking one. 

De Santis protests the sanctity of liberty for all. Legault does the exact opposite. And he should be mercilessly and universally mocked for the petty man he is. 

Quebec should be kicked out of Canada the way I see it. They take too much and give back too little and just tarnish the respiration with crap like this.

I look forward to the day I move out of Quebec. The ignorance here is astounding. I thought it would get better but it has gotten worse. The place keeps sinking and sinking into an abyss of tired old nationalist cliches. The world WILL pass Quebec by. Fewer and fewer companies, tourists and immigrants (other than French-speaking places) will want to deal with Quebec. In other words, how in the world will you attract talent? China spends billions on teaching children English. Quebec bans it.

Does this make sense?

This place has no future. 

You can't progress with such a myopic, parochial people.

They're worse than anything in the deep south. The irony is this is a place that hated Donald Trump, but Trump NEVER took punitive action and stripped people of their basic rights. He didn't trample the Constitutions like Quebec violates a myriad of national and international law. No. Francois Legault is a Trump Tower onto himself on the continent. A bona fide tin pot dictator in a place that insists on acting like a banana republic. 

The world spends a lot of money and energy to EXPAND its proficiency in other languages. Only Quebec thinks itself so special it needs to act punitively to protect a language they can't do on their own. 

In Europe, 15 languages are offered. Even tiny states like Andorra, Slovakia, Croatia and Slovenia abide by them. Populations smaller than Quebec in a sea of 800 million fellow Europeans who do not speak their language. Yet, the survive without onerous and noxious language laws. 

Why and how is that? It doesn't say much for the mettle and state of mind of Quebec. 

To tourists. I say stay away. Not worth it. As for Immigrants thinking of another life? Go to other parts of Canada. It's a lot less stressful with far less baggage. They will hound you forever and you won't have the freedom of choice or expression here. There will never be peace of mind.

Unbelievable how Quebec loves low-grade demagogues. 

"We're poor. I wonder why? But at least we can speak in French! Yuk, yuk yuk!"

Let Quebec go.

It's time.
