PQ would bar immigrants with fractured French from seeking election

Not if you go there to teach English :lol:

It's the popular choice after university in my generation, go to Asia to teach English, pay off student loan debt, and see the world while you`re at it;-)

Don't you need to know at least a little of the other language in order to teach them English? unless you're teaching advanced English to people who have a basic knowledge of the language.........

I think about it every time I try to speak with a Franco Canadian in my high school French and get laughed at because I don't know the local slangs ... and that's a lot more than a second.

So? Slang exists everywhere in all languages... That doesn't mean Quebecers don't speak French or that their French is any less pure than French from France. There's slang in France too.

So how does that justify belittling someone who is making an attempt and at least trying to speak in that unfamiliar language - with someone who probably knows English perfectly well but.... Well there's that satisfaction in being a butthole.

The point isn't the slang - the point is if you're going to test someone's French, you had better be able to account for those of your own who can't pass the exam.
