Quebec English leaders' debate called off after Legault, PQ refuse to participate | CBC News

CBC NewsPremier François Legault took part in a televised, English-language debate ahead of the 2018 provincial election. This time, however, he has declined the invitation.

Unfortunately, his approach to GET into office has now changed that he IS in office. An English debate is a respectful thing to do.

POS

So much pressure to keep a dead language alive…

Can we just boost Quebeckistan out of Canada already? I’m tired of hearing about all the stupid shit from there.

Mr Legault wrong decision! I thought you were a Rene Levesque but you are not!

Great. Another election where I get to choose between corrupt liars, incompetant populists, xenophobic racists, and out-of-touch nationalists, where I have no choice but to hold my nose and vote for the least separatist. The joy of being an anglophone in Quebec.

I was in QC last weekend and as I drove to the Eastern Townships on Autoroute 10, I saw “F*CK LEGO” spray painted on the side of an overpass. It took me a while to figure out.

Canada should stop transfer payments until this anti-English assault ends.

them why does the president of air canada (based in montreal) get raked over the coals cuz he says he doesn’t need to speak french ?

It’s becoming much more difficult being an Anglophone or Allophone in Quebec. I would leave this province I’ve called home for 57 years if I were younger.

All good. I can read and write in French. My daughter has gone to French school her whole life. On two occasions, I was given amazing jobs because I was bilingual. I feel for my French friends who are unilingual - they deserve the same opportunities.

That's really disappointing Quebec has an English minority population. Legault is wrong here sends a bad message.

This confuses me - do we not still have 2 official languages in Canada?

LMAO, even Jean Fracois-Lisee joined the English debate last time. Why he asks everyone to respect French in elsewhere, while he disrespect English in Quebec? Pathetic.

Everyone is so fucken sick of these French fuckes that think they are better than eveyone else in Canada.

What’s the word for someone who hates all those that speak different languages than the majority?… Discriminatory? … Xenophobic? … Racist?

🤡🤡🤡🤡

He needs to learn the English language first.

Didn't the Federal Gov't just fine the St. John's Airport Authority for not printing their financial statements in BOTH languages 🤔

Can The rest of Canada decide to separate itself from Quebec.

He will take English money though.

Which oligarch is next?

🌹 I do not think anyone will be disappointed to not be able to listen him butcher the English language. However, it is a complete snub to English speaking Quebecer's. Bigotry is not something that he shy's away from. 🤔

I understand, not support, what M. Legault is attempting. Context for this “flathead anglais” would be great… (1) the historic percentage of QC citizens who vote in provincial elections? (2) of those, the percentage who identify as “anglais”? (3) relation to QC population? 😵‍💫

So...francoislegault & his merry band of coalitionavenir tricksters having alienated FirstNations & Muslims is now going to further alienate EnglishSpeakers . Wouldn't it be hilarious if LaRevancheduBerceau ended up createing a FrancophoneMinority ?

Please don’t vote fir these racist and separatists!

Vos larmes sont délicieuses. Mioum! Mioum!😋

Surprise surprise

Don’t vote for them plz

Can they just separate already?

Quebec premier Francois Legault won’t participate in English-language debate ahead of provincial voteParti Quebecois leader also won’t participate in debate, but Quebec Solidaire and Quebec Liberal, Conservative leaders will take part Total dick move. Imagine if a Anglo refused to take part in a French debate. People's heads would explode. The other leaders will be able to say what they think about Legault and he won't be there to say 'I ham not dat' With the recent passing of the oppressive Bill 96 it’ll be hard, anyway, for him to get votes on the Anglo side. And I think Legault knows it.

Pope Francis to visit Canada in July with stops in Alberta, Quebec, Nunavut | Globalnews.caThe July visit to Canada comes after the Pope's historic apology last month for the Roman Catholic Church's role in residential schools in the country. I was wondering if the indiginous peoples have demanded an apology and now they want to tell the Pope what should be in the apology. The stops also tell me that not all residential schools were the same since there are no stops in Ontario and other provinces. Reminding the pope to bring his wallet!
