You would have been nothing, and you will amount to nothing without the English population. You are racist and bigots. Your Province is falling apart, your people are ignorant, and by the time you stupid Francophone's figure out what you really need no one will help you, because you have chased all the English Bilingual people who love their province away. Your province is going to rat shit and you know it, but you hide it from the tax payers. You spent hard working people's money on a farce of a unity song that you could careless about, and still have not fixed any of the infer structure in the province, and putting a bandage on the wound will not stop your bridges from decaying and killing more innocent people. It is time for the real people of this beautiful province to wake up and call for action, before it is one of their own lying on the bottom of the rubble. Is it that important to have your people's language on top, or do you just want to high light that everybody else should be on the bottom.

I grew up on the east Coast of Canada. I have visited Quebec many times and plan on doing so again. In my trips there I have very rarely had one of the people try to belittle me because I speak English. I have found that the general population of the province are good people who are about as tired of this stupid debate as the rest of Canadians. I have been given the line of “On est au Québec, on parle français.” My response to this has always been a pleasant "This is Canada, We speak Both. On est au Canada, on parle les deux." I found it leaves the ignorant fool somewhat flummoxed as I have a distinctive East Coast accent. My mother just thought that seeing as we live in a Bilingual country, it might do me good in the future to know both official Canadian Languages. I'm proud to be Canadian. I just think that the people bringing up this whole debate about the French language forget that Quebec isn't the only province that speaks it.

I find this highly disturbing. Instead of investing the tax money on the right places, the government is more concerned about a language. I still have a hard time understanding what they mean by "PRESERVING THE CULTURE". I came here from a different continent and with a different culture alltogether and yet it is still possible for me to follow my culture at home, speak my own language at home and with my friends and others who speaks it. A culture and a language can't be forgotten,unless you yourself is not strong enough to hold on to your culture and your language. This has to be the biggest BS the QC came up with till date! Basicaly this tells me that they are not strong enough to hold on to their language and culture.

P.S i speak /write3 languages (yes including FRENCH cause QC gov made me go to a french school -.- which am happy about it now cause i have more advantages at my JOB!!) and understand 4 language

These bigots have got to be left to themselves. We have to democratically partition this province and those areas that vote to leave have the right to go - the rest of us have a new bilingual province. We need a new political movement for this purpose to end the stifling of our anglophone and allophone expression of freedom in this doomed province. GIVE US BACK AND RIGHTS AND FREEDOMS OR PARTITION THIS PROVINCE = LET THE BIGOTS OUT!

We want what everyone else wants; to work and raise and protect our families and forge some kind of life; peacefully,quietly. But these witch hunters chase us into the metro, into our places of business and into our institutions and into our children's schools, they physically assault us because we have the audasity to speak; they take great swellng pride in disrespecting and dehumanizing their own countrymen. We are all of us reduced by this toxic mentality; through it you attack your own societal body at a cellular level.

If you are francophone and if you disagree with this assessment of Quebecois culture, then the next time you witness it, step up and speak out; not against the preservation of your language ( which BTW is a subcomponent of culture, not culture in and of itself, but which merits preservation nonetheless), but against bigotry and ignorance.

Or, do nothing, and contribute to the cellular decay of your social fabric.

Where did Montreal go to? We were known everywhere in the world... What a beautiful french beautiful city that spoke to you in French or English..What the church did to the french is what southern catholic church did to Ireland... Divide the people.
Quebec imports immigrants that speak french no matter where they come from as long as they have monies and education and if were lucky a criminal background. The poor Quebecois goes to work while these people are using the hopital systems to have all their little ones.. It great to have dual citizenship as the weather gets cold and the babies are born, we don't see many sandals and as the Quebecer bundles up we all look like were wearing hijabs..When they rule Quebec then the Quebecer will realize that the English were no users but doers...The Quebecois will be a minority when they get rid of the english Quebecer...They never woke up when the church use them and now the government is using them and they still believe in what? I am a fifth generation here my children went to french schools and their children are going to english schools and the french have no choice...If the English Quebecer was not here what would have happened to these people..The French pure laine are good good people but the church and a few english people in businesses screwed them..I remember they use to put the immigrant kids in our english schools so their system wouldn't be held back by teaching them French... How time has change.. The quebec is paying higher taxes , translations are costly and the Quebecois has to go to Plattsburgh to buy everything in english because it is all about money and it's way cheaper than to buy here... They don't care about the language but the Big Screen TV at 42 inches that is 1/ price counts...The instructions are all in English do you see the point in all these translations...Were so lucky as english Quebecers as they have to write everything bigger in French and smaller in english because our eyesight in many things is better..

Speak english, Shop in Plattsburgh, retire in Florida, and smile at everyone..

For those who complain that the PQ prioritizes language over more serious issues, I'd like to remind them that it's CJAD that asked the question and that wrote an article on this, rather than focussing on more serious issues.

And for those who complain to have no rights here because bus drivers are not forced to respond in english, just address bus drivers in english to see how many of them will actually make the effort. Then go to Ottawa, a supposedly bilingual city, and address bus drivers in french. I bet you can do that for a whole day without being answered in french by any english driver! So who's got no rights??
