«...the city of #CôteStLuc made it clear just how seriously it takes the #Legault government’s latest linguistic reality.

“For service in English, press 2,” says a recorded voice that answers the municipality’s general information number. “And by the way, you don’t need to show us your Grade 3 report card or your family tree going back 10 generations. And you don’t have to pinky promise anything.»

Hey, #Quebec government! Your objective isn't to promote #French. #France does that. Your objective is to oppress #English.
You're a bunch of gawd-damned, arrogant #Anglophobes!

« #Bill96 — “An Act respecting French, the official & common language of Québec” — received royal assent on June 1, 2022, 1 year ago today. We at the Quebec Association of Independent Schools ( #QAIS ) mark this day w/ sadness.
W/ its pre-emptive use o the notwithstanding clause & its override o the #QuebecCharter o #HumanRightsAndFreedoms, Bill 96 does not reflect the inclusive Quebec we are trying to build together & is promoted at our member schools.»

«The suit was filed by a group called the #TaskForceOnLinguisticPolicy.

"Today, we are obliged to take the #Quebec government to court to ensure our #rightsrare respected," said Andrew Caddell, task force president.

"No legislation can abolish #IndividualRights, which is what #Bill96 tries to do by invoking the #NotwithstandingClause," added lawyer Michael Bergman.»
