.. I have been thinking about this issue (English & French in Quebec & the Bill 101) a lot lately. And I almost started to think that 1) French people have the hardest time to learn English among all other linguistic groups in the world 2) French people get some kind of electric shock torture when they hear English words 3) regardless of the language, people in Quebec are the most stubborn and obsessive in the entire globe. What on earth is the big deal with a language? Is English that horrible?
What a great idea - after a few fines are issued, you wouldn't have anymore arrogant insistence on speaking English to francophone customers against their will - though, obviously, people would still be free to speak English if they both wanted to... Make these arrogant anti-francophones pay, and that way there will be a large governmen surplus, and everybody else can pay less taxes! :)
Moi je suis americain et vous Martin Pelletier tu est un idiot si tu n;est pas eduquer cest de ta faute, C est pour ca que tout le monde rit des Quebecois com toi.LOL
@sinclaire70 Je pense que tu capote un peu ! On se calme, un québécois peut très bien parler anglais, chinois ou russe! C'est pas toi qui définit qui à la nationalité et qui ne la pas! C'est très xénophobe de penser comme tu le fait. Je suis née au québec de parents québécois du saguenay et je trouve que la poutine c'est dégeulasse et que le hockey c'est plate à en mourire . Suis-je un vrai Québécois ?
Dude that guy is crazy, as a french speaking Quebecers I don't give a fuck in what language you greet me. Governement services, (education, healthcare )etc. should be in both language, but putting one of the two languages out is purely racist...
@hondacivic1992 That guy is overracting I agree, you can't judge by what this man says, he is totally unrepresentative of the population, that kind of bill would never pass, sure some asshole will support it, but just as an example (I'm not even assuming that you are american) as an example they are large neo-nazi community in the United-State... Does that make them racist and intolerant ?
I would also like to say a BIG FUCK YOU to Monsieur Pelletier for shooting his mouth off like that. This portrays a serious low self image. One of the reasons would like to be in Australia is that it doesn't have losers like him who can never face reality. You might as well blow his damn nuts out with AK47 riffle:(
@1Curieux I've had the pleasure of visiting the world for some time now. When I visit the US, they identify quebec as that crazy wonky "would be country with the funny french". Our politics are a joke, our federal party has kicked the can. We overtax, under-construct, and we're constantly in a cycle of red tape and corruption. By the way, this opinion is the opinion of a person who's lived in Quebec for the 26 years of his life. As an Anglo watching this video, I'm enraged by seperatist hacks>:(
With a system like that, I could make a fortune in the West Island . . . wait a minute, oh yeah, it's not illegal and a merchant should be able to greet me in Chinese or Swahili if they really want to...
My girlfriend is french canadian, I am Anglo, I love Quebec and I love the french canadian culture but this is just ridiculous. Does a merchant in Ottawa get fined for greeting someone in French and not English, NO. Utterly ridiculous, they already have bill 101, you can't marginalise the anglophone population of Quebec too. Canada is BILINGUAL and despite what Harper says, the Quebecois are not a "nation" they are part of the Canadian nation and we should all share in this bilingual society.
@MrMrLinx You are Canadian, just cus you havnt signed the constitution does not mean you're not Canadian. The British took the french colony of New France when they beat the French at the Battle of Quebec. That is when New France became part of the British Empire. That territory was then formed into what we now see as Canada. French-Canadians have fought and died for Canada, to say they wernt Canadian is to dishonour them. Nous sommes Canadians!
@Cnipur Sorry but go visit "the world" and you'll see what people really think of Quebec (especially Europeans who happen to love it.) But I'll give you one thing: this guy is ridiculous and is a tv "show off" trying to start controversy. Yes, 10% of Quebecois may agree with him but you'll find as many a*holes in Canada. Don't base your judgement on internet information, go visit Quebec and make your own opinion.
Encore des propos sortis de leur contexte qui choquent les anglâs. Drôle!

Replace "anglophones" with "Jews," "Blacks," "Natives." Now it's obviously racism. How anybody can possibly defend this is insane.
