Dear Quebec, please leave canada...

this was a comment from one reader of the CBC report:

you have to wonder why the quebec govt have their head so far up their own asses. this whole bilingualism issue in canada has really gotten to the point of crazy. bilingualism doesn't unite us - it fragments us. it costs us billions every year in service and administrative costs. and more to the point it has become nothing more than a tool, that the political entities in quebec use to firewall funding, claim minority status, reap the benefits of cultural and arts spending projects, legislate mandatory government bureaucracy and at the same time suck billions of dollars in welfare, through the provincial transfer payments scheme.

today, they are claiming they want to further limit the ability of quebec residents to choose to have their children schooled in english. does that sound like the policy of a free and liberal western country? they essentially want to force french education on every resident. why is it so many Quebecois want to be schooled in english? is it because they live in the middle of fucking NORTH AMERICA!! where french is about as useful outside quebec as michael j fox fumbling with change at a parking meter....

and bilingualism has become nothing more than an industry now for quebec. because many of the best government jobs require fluent french (for no real reason) guess who they are mainly open to....the CRTC's policys that demand local content be produced in english and french, - where do you think all the federal $$$ that subsidize those arts programs go?? into factories in quebec that churn out crap that most of canada doesn't even watch.

even worse, we all have to pay for quebec the welfare state which consistently keeps the highest unemployment numbers through the wacky federal transfer payment scheme, $16billion, of our money was poured into this province, so it could be wasted forcing their residents to use a language that is quickly becoming irrelevant on a worldwide scale, let alone in north america.


imagine yourself a parent in quebec. you want the best for your children, and you want them to have opportunities - so you want them to speak fluent english, so they can work and function in the rest of the country, and (most of the western world). but here your government not only creates a tyrannical petty campaign to block english from every street sign, restaurant menu radio station and billboard, but wont allow you to attend an english speaking school in a BILLINGUAL country!

it is with that sentiment that i echo the comments of the readers on CBC, "Dear Quebec, please leave canada" and rid us of the expense incurred in supporting your uni-lingual industrial complex...
