Irish Times: "Irish replaces French as second most popular language in North’s A-levels - Optional Irish available in only 35 per cent of schools but held firm as other languages declined"

The DUP are going to love this - not. 😂

I think by now, indigenous communities have every right to give a hard side eye to any white dude coming to them offering assistance -- and a shady contract.

That article made me mad.

Wow, France doing Corsica dirty here.
Historically, this is the path they've taken though, so not surprising.

Like all human-rights destroyers who get away with unethical propaganda the CAQ government in Quebec, Canada, are lying about .

"From the government ad: "English-speakers in Québec will continue to benefit from the same constitutional guarantees concerning their access to justice in their language."

All the legal experts consulted by CBC disputed this claim."
