There are over 550,000 native french speakers in Ontario. They pay taxes, and they have the right to continue their education in their own language. French and English are the official languages of this country, so it's not like an immigrant minority asking us to adapt to them. This is our citizens demanding that their right to education be upheld.
It's totally unacceptable to me that a province, which is required by the constitution to manage education, would deprive tax payers of the higher education they actually pay for already. This goes to show what kind of a low life Doug Ford is, he doesn't care about our institutions that ultimately bind us together. He doesn't see that this would be a source of strength, having two major cities in this country with proper universities that are fully french would be a major achievement for Canada. You would actually start to see young people from France come in for a degree and maybe stay and enrich our country more...
anyways, I'd gladly kick that fat fuck in the face if I had the chance.
- Ontario is not a bilingual province and either is Quebec.spot13
- What's your point? Education is still a right. He talks about balancing the budget, when in fact they actually pay enough taxes to have their own uni.zarkonite
- My point is that if you want bilingual schools, vote in a government that would make Ontario bilingual.spot13
- Otherwise there is always New Brunswick - the only French and English province - where the public education system is available in both official languagesspot13
- There are english public schools in Quebec from K to PhD. The point of having rights is to protect minorities, your scenario of a bilingual government willzarkonite
- never happen. The math can't work. As a matter of fact, they did have a french speaker and she quit cuz they told her to shut up.zarkonite
- You're right, Ontario is not likely to become a bilingual province seeing how 96% of Ontario residents don't speak Frenchspot13
- hehe I was just thinking you're right in that the next government could sweep up these votes by promising what the conservatives won't do =)zarkonite
