Quebec adopts Bill 96 to overhaul Charter of French Language | CBC News

Students at John Abbott College protested against Bill 96 earlier this month for its impact on access to English-language CEGEPs.

Dissent over Bill 96 had escalated in recent weeks with thousands holding protests, denouncing the bill for impeding the rights of anglophones, allophones and Indigenous communities. It also caps the number of students who can attend English-language colleges, known as CEGEPs, and increases the amount of French courses students at the colleges must take.Two opposition parties voted against the law. The Parti Québécois said the legislation did not go far enough in protecting the French language in Quebec, while Quebec Liberal Party Leader Dominique Anglade denounced the bill's use of the notwithstanding clause, saying it goes too far.

Québec Solidaire voted in favour, despite expressing unease about the clause in the bill which calls on refugees to learn French within six months of arrival, after which they can no longer access services in another language.

Warning! CBC =FAKE/HATE NEWS! Only an ignorant fool would believe CBC!

Quebec is an inherently racist society. They have no place in Canada.

Time to leave Quebec. The franco nazis are coming.

And of course NOTHING from Justin! Gee I wonder why - NOT Justin Trudeau: 'Quebecers are better than the rest of Canada'

Pure racism!

Unless filing suit for resultant civil damages caused, why take it to Court? S33 of CCRF legitimises the the unconstitutionality of unconstitutional legislation. The SCC will just declare it unconstitutional but won't be able 2 do a damn thing about it except put it on the record

Quebec gets what Quebec wants 😢

Obviously Vive la Difference does not apply in Quebec.

Time for Canadians to kick Quebec out of Canada. Let them make it on their own, and pay their share of the debt they owe. This is not a progressive society.

Will relocate to Ontario or British Columbia. I can’t believe I’m funding a government that oppresses minorities. I hate that my only recourse is to leave. quebec canada

Legault is Quebec’s version of Trump.

Good for them. At least their not being bullied by religious groups and ethnicities. They are keeping true to their french language and not being pushed by that idiot Trudeau!

people should speak the language they want not imposing it on them.

Red meat for their base. If they want Quebec to be even more of a backwater, they're doing well. Seriously who under 55 wants this?

Québécois fascists are also forcing all Ukrainian refuges to attend mandatory French Language classes, bcuz Quebec, is alot like Russia.

I would watch them learning a new language from scratch and then using it for all the services after only 6 months

Language & culture should be left to evolve naturally on its own, not forced down people’s throats by social engineering.

Oh yeah , they must of heard how much success Doug Ford was using the undemocratic position of “not with standing” clause; Authoritarianism is alive and well in Canada.

Opinion | Quebec runs roughshod over Charter rights while feds stay largely silent — againOpinion: The fact that we’re not having a more serious national conversation about the casual use of the clause to undermine fundamental rights in this country is just bonkers, writes supriyadwivedi supriyadwivedi Top running political leaders will always be cowards when it comes to Quebec. It is up to the voters to force the issue. Force Quebec to decide between being a proper member of the greatest country in the world, or leave into oblivion. supriyadwivedi The Charter was well-intentioned, and entirely nullified by the notwithstanding clause. It only took a while for politicians to understand that there were no restraints on their use of it. supriyadwivedi Do you have any clue about the circumstances how that Charter was written and signed in 1982? Do you think Quebec gives a &$! about it? I feel zero shame we're using that clause that allowed the ROC to sign the charter. And unlike the USA, the constitution is not even secular.
