Canada is not an associate member of the EU. A referendum asking Canadians if they are in favor of joining needs to be held prior to making this false statement. Countries that joined the EU held referendums to confirm that citizens were in agreement prior to joining. This is called democracy...

Karma’s a b*tch. Now maybe Quebec will stop stripping away (or attempting to strip away) the civil rights of it’s English speaking citizens. If it weren’t for a court case filed by a private citizen, thousands of English speaking Quebeckers would have been denied the right to vote in Quebec’s...

Canada wouldn’t dare try to call out a foreign country for voting irregularities after this latest incident in Quebec. It would make us look like a bunch of hypocrites and we’d lose all credibility in the process.

The judge agreed that by sending out voter information in French only, many unilingual English speaking Quebeckers would essentially be denied the right to vote. This is especially true in Montreal where many of us speak English instead of French. Elections Quebec Ordered to Prepare English...

The lawsuit was inevitable. When you deny a portion of the population the right to vote, citizens will fight for democracy. Canada is not (at least not yet) a communist country, and deliberately withholding voting information from a segment of the population undermines democracy in Canada...

Looks like prominent Montreal Civil Rights lawyer, Julius Grey may get involved in this. Civil Rights Lawyer Julius Grey prepared to defend democratic rights in Quebec

Thousands of English Speaking Quebeckers may be denied the right to vote

This is not good for voters in Montreal. Many of us in Montreal were schooled in English and speak no French, specifically in the West End of the city (Westmount, NDG, Montreal West, Hampstead, Cote St.Luc, TMR …). Seniors in these neighborhoods are not proficient with nor do they have access to...

An eye for an eye. Canada renamed the former Trump International Hotel to The St. Regis Toronto Tower. As a result, the President has every right to rename Lake Ontario to Lake America. Anyone arguing that Canada had a right to rename the Trump International Hotel but the U.S. has no right to...

Sure. Joe Clark. He won the 1979 election with only two seats in Quebec. Stephen Harper had more seats when he won the election.

The problem is that French is not on equal footing with English. Bill C-13 passed by Trudeau gives preferential treatment to French speaking Canadians. At the federal level, Bill C-13 affords French speaking minorities in Canada the right to work in and be served in French in Federal...

This is Carney’s personal war. Many of us have immediate family and friends in the U.S. Not to mention investment properties. I personally drive into the U.S. several times per week. Carney failed in his job, and his promises. He should simply resign.

No. Canada betrayed the U.S. What did you expect the U.S. to do? Most Canadian provinces (with the exception of Alberta and Saskatchewan) pulled U.S. alcohol from it’s shelves. The U.S. has NOT pulled any Canadian products from its shelves. Then there’s the racist anti-constitutional French only...

If Canada can afford to send $25 billion to some God forsaken country on the other side of the Atlantic Ocean, then Canada can sure as heck afford to absorb these new tariffs which only apply to 5% of the $380 billion dollar goods that Canada exports to the U.S. The tariffs for one year total...

The vast majority of Quebec’s English speaking community resides within the greater Montreal area. The Federal Liberals have essentially thrown Quebec’s English speaking community under the bus with bill C-13. This bill affords certain rights (to get services in and work in French where numbers...

BBC Article describing Quebec’s latest anti-English policies targeting English language universities Quebec is on a mission to completely strip away the civil rights of every single English speaking citizen living in Quebec. The latest CAQ policy targets all three of Quebec’s English language...

It looks like Bill 96 is starting to have an immediate impact on the livelihoods of immigrants who are already living in Quebec. https://www.macleans.ca/society/im-an-immigrant-living-in-quebec-bill-96-makes-me-feel-like-a-second-class-citizen/amp/ It’s a crying shame.

Looks like the New York Times is also reporting on this racist piece of legislation. I’m hoping that word of bill 96 keeps spreading globally to the extent where foreign countries start considering economic sanctions against Quebec for serious human rights violations...

Those who work in public service in Montreal do indeed speak English. Most Montreal residents can also speak English. On my side, I don’t work in public service so am not bilingual. Never had any motivation to learn French due to the racist language laws.
