    No you see the only groups that get to use the government to hurt other groups is the groups I personally like.

    Humans are “meant” to be multilingual. That is norm for us. I still remember the small shock I felt when we were visiting my wife’s homeland for the first time and it turns out there is a language with under 6 million people, spoken only in one small region, that she knew plus the most common language of her country.

    So yeah this is a group being punished for speaking their own language on land that they originally owned, plus anyone who wants to study there and doesn’t speak French. This is freedom? This is a just society? This is education? Schools are supposed to teach not force monolithic thought and punish people for being born “wrong”.

      First Nations have no French requirements and are allowed to get service in English in Quebec if they want to, that’s a protected right.

      Also very very funny that you would go from saying “Humans are meant to be multilingual” to “I can’t believe they have to learn a second language!”

      It’s incredible how easy it is to point out the the Anglo hypocrisy.

        Wow ok you clearly need to read things slowly. Humans are meant to speak multiple languages, that doesn’t mean governments have a right to say fuck you if you don’t know a particular one.

        Got it? Be educated and don’t punish people for not having one random piece of crap in their head. I hope you understand, maybe if you don’t you can have someone translate it for you in the obscure language called French.

          Perfect, no language obligations for schools anymore, let’s let French Canadian culture get assimilated by English culture.

          Is that what you want? You’re mad that first Nation culture has it rough and your reaction is “This other cultural minority should disappear too”?

            Whine like a little bitch to the government to save it. Please mommy and daddy government. My obscure language can’t survive on merit, all other ones need to be eliminated so my pathetic excuse of a mother tongue can survive like a hothouse flower. Also let me fuck over everyone else that way my way of life will win.

            All conservative thought boils down to: there are groups the government protects but doesn’t bind and groups the government binds but doesn’t protect. My group is the former and fuck them, I got mine.

            s that what you want? You’re mad that first Nation culture has it rough and your reaction is “This other cultural minority should disappear too”?

            What I want is people to not act like little shits.
