Quebec Premier Francois Legault came under fire this week for claiming “no minority in Canada is better served than English-speaking Quebecers” during his Tuesday inaugural speech.

How can bonnie henry and adrian dix be punished because they are using their authority to address another authorities issue? Covid-19 is a border security issue.
Just trying to take credit, where none is due. Now try and tell that to the very many English speaking Canadians driving through Quebec and being refuse service at some restaurants because they don’t speak french. It may be time to bust this bubble, once and for all.
Try eating restaurants in Québec, ask for directions, if you don’t speak French, you won’t be served nor given an answer. Actually their French is a slang French. I studied French language from a Parisian professor. I noticed a big difference from Quebec French to France language.
My cousin and her husband took a trip to Quebec just before COVID, said they won’t be back ever. They said Montreal was a fun, multicultural/lingual city for the most part, but anywhere even semi-rural and the unbridled rudeness descends upon you. Ignored/refused service in restaurants, hotel staff treating you badly, etc. And both my cousin and her husband speak passable French, just not perfect Quebecois French.
It saddens me, because I’d like to visit due to it’s history and culture, but it seems pretty clear they don’t want Anglophones existing in the province at all, at least quite a few of them.
Only country in the world that has discrimination enshrined in its Constitution….thanks Pierre
Pfft, tell that to the Quebecois that felt Persecuted before the Quiet Revolution
Care to elaborate. What do you find discriminatory?
A Nation with 2 languages is 2 Nations .
@Canada Firstdog I’m guessing you’ve never went in New-Brunswick.
Even France hates Quebec
Quebecois is not French .
@Canada Firstdog it’s not Canadian either
When Legault says it, he makes it sound like a threat, like he’ll take away more rights if we don’t say thank you for not taking it all away.
How much more manure can he spew🙄
But he thinks French Quebecers are better than anyone else !!!
Can you say Discrimination
The true dough is in maxines
He’s coming fot you children
He’s joking, right? English-speaking Canadians are treated better in Paris than they are in Quebec.
that’s not even an exaggeration, Quebec is even more strict than Paris
That’s why I’ve been to Quebec once and never went back
DID YOU EXPERIENCE SYSTEMIC DISCRIMINATION ?
Lol I live there. I wish I could leave-
Quebec could ban English. Of course airplanes could no longer land anywhere in the province.
Ridiculous. All he can think of is discrimination and coercion.
The most discriminatory province in Canada just getting worse!
Agreed.
So what other countries on this planet speak that sad french Canadian slang ?What a clown show .Should have let that stain of a province separate.
He’s out of his mind.
As an English Quebecer I can tell you this is false.
I remind Legault that Montreal was an English speaking city before it was a french speaking one, english is spoken by about 90 percent of Canadians and 85 percent of Canadians fluently. Quebecers/french speakers also have an unfair advantage for anything related to the government and get equalization payments
Quebec is part-time Canada and should not share the same benefits as the mainstream Canadians
