      I’m pretty sure it’s one of the main reasons the right has always tried to crack jokes and minimize French influence in the U.S.

      Wouldn’t want the Americana to see their cousins have big brass balls and will torch anything in their way if their ruling class fucks around too much.

      But if it is the last barrier to reaching an agreement, how long will the rest of Canada support Quebec? This is being done to test our confederacy.

      Edit: Not supporting Trump, just being realistic about his intentions.

        Why would we ever let a foreign government choose our languages? Seems it’ll be a common issue for them.

          It might be, we don’t know all the details yet (they called it an irritant) but so far all these global tariffs have disproportionally hurt Canada more than other countries. I can see the US smoothing things over with others but keeping this as a point of contention with Canada.

              I agree, we’re facilitating interprovincial trade, we have many allies in a similar position with which we can strike new deals. The US is looking to cause some damage though.

        We’ll never stop standing with Quebec. No foreign power is going to dictate our culture. Canada strong.

          ROC opposing Québec because of language laws? That’s the exact definition of Canadian culture, our confederacy was tempered by this conflict since forever.

          Once again, they are simply reinforcing Canada’s identity by their uninformed talking points.
