In Ontario we have a French Language Public School system paid out of the public school systems taxes. Actually two separate systems, one for French Catholics and one a non-catholic French yet but both fully publicly funded. Ontario has less than 200,000 francophone residents.
These are not a bilingual school system or “French Immersion” type system for people to learn French as a second language, but a completely French People Only Public School Board System populated by Quebec Immigrants who came to seek work in Ontario because they lack job opportunities in their own province.
This was a vote/referedum buy if there ever was one. And Spending $300 Million a year to serve a Private French Education to 200,000 francophones with ties to Quebec is a bit blatant.
Furthermore, there are not enough people being served by the system, so that durring election each of its so called “elected” representatives are acclaimed to their posts because no one runs for their public offices.
