Sometimes I wonder why I want to move back to Quebec, when this continues to be news:
NOUVELLES TRES IMPORTANTS
Really, guy?
L'accent aigu va sauver la langue française?
Of all the things Quebecers should be worried about (climbing sales tax rates, declining education and health care systems, terrible infrastructure, employment ...), the press continues to remind us that the number one priority should be saving a language that the majority of the people speak ... lest us dirty anglophones continue to pollute the language with our dirty English ways.
It's a non-issue with the people I know, anglo or franco, so why are we letting the 5 same people continue to spew diatribe about "protecting" something that isn't even endangered? Can't our tax dollars be put to better use? Can't journalists cover more hard-hitting topics (see above)?
I thought we lived in a global culture, a tolerant society?
That's what we're led to believe, but the people who govern/criticize those who govern/waste time planning language rallies in la belle province tell us otherwise, on a daily basis.
