It’s really funny how triggered you are. Believe it or not but French speakers aren’t a minority in Quebec. Wild, I know!

Crazy how you just imagined that entire situation just to make yourself angry lol

Are you asking me if the right to enforce a dress code is in the Canadian constitution? Is this a joke or have you lost the plot?

Please point out which rights you’re being denied. I dare you. I promise you that there is not a SINGLE right that is infringed upon. A dress code is not protected in the Canadian constitution, however a religion that proscribes religious garb IS protected.

These people you are taking about were born in Canada, and expect to be protected by Canadian law. It’s not fair to them that they are now being told to whip into line for a white protectionist government or get out when they were literally exercising their Canadian rights. You can go and argue the rhetoric with the individuals that took those jobs, I really don’t care. But you cannot strip away the livelihood of an entire group of Canadians and then go, “Well, what did you expect?!” The rest of the world sees through that bullshit.

There’s 7 million french and native French Canadians ffs. Random ass numbers lol. Nope it went where I wanted and the point still stands but it just flew over your head, like pretty much everything else in this thread.

Anglo Canadian culture is doing just fine despite our politicians not clutching their pearls and blaming immigrants.

You can’t even keep track of what your narrative is supposed to be. If Quebec produces more original TV than the rest of Canada, then it’s culture isn’t disappearing, is it? Write these things down if you have to, you’re starting to contradict yourself.

You’re speaking English because it’s an English sub lmfao. This is exactly the type of Quebecois entitlement that I’m talking about. You don’t see me going to french subs and making a point of not forcing them to speak English.

So your argument is basically that since someone’s rights aren’t respected at a workplace, they shouldn’t work there. Is this a mask off moment or are you starting to realize what the CAQ had intended with Bill 21 all along?

That’s awesome, so now we’re just pulling random numbers out of the hat. 360m today, 8 billion tomorrow. By that logic, though, Anglo Canadians should have disappeared into American culture huh? Since we already speak the same language. Gee, I wonder why that’s never happened.

And just to be clear, the Quebecois are regarded as a nation, french is the official language, the feds are bilingual, and the Quebec govt conduct all operations in French, but somehow they’re also at risk of extinction is it?

Absolutely not. When a person receives their Canadian citizenship they agree to uphold the values of the Canadian constitution and they are also afforded the rights that it lays out. Remind me, is the right to freedom of religion included in those documents?

So there’s an imaginary line in the sand that you’ve drawn regarding how many jobs are allowed to be denied to minorities? Ever heard of the slippery slope argument?

I thank you for the kind reminder of the existence of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms. I wonder if the Quebec legislators have ever read it. Have you? Maybe your rights are only protected when you’re off the clock eh?

That’s just a taste of how badly Quebec’s nationalists try to create a rift. But they’ll be the first to turn around and tell you that Anglos are the problem.

Cambridge dictionary definition of foreign: belonging or connected to a country that is not your own.

Because in our treaties and agreements they are quite literally sovereign nations that have the right to self determination. Unlike the Quebecois, they actually were here first, and they really are a minority at risk of extinction. It’s so strange how French Canadians can’t understand nuance.

Great, then you shouldn’t have an issue calling out the CAQ and the nationalists that support them 👍🏼

Yes, I did.

Firstly, this isn’t France. We have a charter of rights and freedoms that Quebec used a BS notwithstanding clause to get around so that they could pass the bill. Secondly, there’s practical and effective ways to curb the danger of religion without taking a) taking away people’s livelihoods b) making them choose between their faith and their job and c) forcing them to move out of the province to find a workplace that doesn’t go against Canadian ideals.

The most egregious example would be Bill 21. Absolutely horrendous legislation that does nothing but marginalize those who are already marginalized. Despite what the Quebecois would like you to believe, it’s a piece of proxy legislation that aims to exclude religious and ethnic minorities from Quebec society, plain as day.

The victim complex in action, exhibit A:

Quebec’s nationalism involves alienating non-French speaking Canadians including its own residents (eg Montrealers), creating a narrative that Quebec’s culture is at risk of being wiped out, reinforcing a victim complex, blaming its own minorities while complaining about being a minority, and by enacting discriminory laws that only aim to exclude those who don’t fit their image of what a Quebecer should be.

You’ve got an issue with people calling out racists and nationalists?

That’s all a smoke show. The real reason is their objective of nationalism.
