We talk about it a lot these days, part of the English-speaking community in Quebec feels persecuted.
How can she come up with such a far-fetched idea, so cut off from reality, so delusional?
Because the Government of Quebec will now impose three French courses in college education in English CEGEPs.

I specify: just a few days ago, it was to be three courses in French. The constraint seemed apparently insurmountable! It was even announced the massive academic failure of a whole generation forced to take courses in a language it does not master.
And the government backed down.
Is it really persecuting English speakers in Quebec to teach them French?
But let’s not forget the essential: we see here how a paranoid imagination has taken hold of the activist fringe of part of the English-speaking community, who feel attacked at the idea of living in a society where French is the common language.
We can say what we want, the refusal of these few courses in French reveals two things.
First, the young Anglophone generation, despite all the propaganda that would have us believe the opposite, does not speak French. Which is not surprising, since daily life does not oblige it to do so, and the Government of Quebec does everything it can by behaving like a bilingual state so that English speakers do not have to learn French.

Then, that it simply does not accept that Quebec is a French-speaking society and that it is ready to fight politically so that this is not the case.
For 25 years, French Quebec has been retreating. He bends his knee. From now on, we explain to him that he is too much at home.
It is an aversion against the people of Quebec who are expressing themselves without embarrassment at this time.
