You’re not supposed to exist at all, according to people like him.

I hope they leave it alone, it has a pretty good tourist economy already.

You should definitely go there, I went there in summer 2022, it’s beautiful. Go paddleboard with the beluga whales, well worth it! If you stick your head in the water at the beach, you can hear them chant.

If you wanted to visit Churchill, ig do it now before it gets destroyed by the fossil fuel industry.

Nah, he’s fighting Trump for Putin dick

Ça existe encore la télé? o.O

I’m proud of you! Where’d you end up going?

Fresh from Port de Montréal!

Eating the rich is sustainable and good for the environment.

Ideally, you’re supposed to retire while you’re still fit and healthy so you can actually enjoy your retirement.

Otherwise, it’s basically just an extended sick leave until you die.

I’m thinking of that chart of voters for each Canadian party and what US president they would have voted for. A certain voter base would totally fall for propaganda. (Lost the chart pic, unfortunately)

Unrelated, I just wanted to thank you @grte@lemmy.ca for feeding the Canadian Lemmy communities with great content. :)

That, and also “No junk mail, no soliciting” stickers are your friend.

That’s… Literally their name.

It’s a bank with their origins in British China, headquartered in London, with a large market in mainland China.

Well done, Hongkong-Shanghai Banking Corporation

Hue. If French is threatening English as a language of commerce for the Americans, that means Quebec is going in the right direction.

I don’t agree with all the policies put in place by the Quebec government, but I’m giggling as I read this article. It’s good news for the French language.

I feel like you and I are on the same page, with a slight variance in opinion 😅

I respect your opinion, it’s quite a common one in Quebec outside of Montreal.

What I’m understanding from your text is that anglophones who grew up in Quebec should just up and leave their home province if they don’t want to, or can’t, learn the French language because the language they always used and were able to converse in for their whole life is no longer acceptable, since they can essentially live anywhere else in Canada / USA.

Personally, I’ve always been of the opinion that Quebec should export their French to other provinces rather than turn itself into an enclave. Make the Canadian east coast French! Hell, make Vermont French! Nothing’s more fun than going to Vermont or Ontario and speaking French with the locals.

We won’t have the opportunity to teach people French if we ban English CEGEPs and universities because the people we could potentially be teaching French to will just go to other provinces and learn no french at all.

But I understand how you feel due to how we were treated historically in Canada, and I too feel that it’s important to teach French to immigrants and kids, but I don’t agree with forcing people to speak French by banning other languages. Official signs should definitely be french-only though.

An aside: France is one of the exceptions I was talking about, they don’t really do English, but most of the countries around it do.

TL;DR: I don’t want Quebec to be known as the province that bans languages, I want Quebec to be known as the province that spreads French far and wide.

Not everyone has an ease with language, unfortunately.

You and I do, but I know francophones who are incapable of learning English no matter how hard they try, and anglophones who are incapable of learning French, or any other language for that matter.

It works out for some people, but others will never learn anything beyond their native tongue, especially if they migrate as adults.

European countries and their citizens tend to understand and speak English pretty well, with some exceptions, and most of them offer services in English upon request

Not just self-employed, but also contracted out by a company like CGI (used as an example, I’m sure they have a dental plan)

Me, at some point.

Lots of contracting jobs, software development in my case, offer no health care plan, you have to go with the RAMQ insurance, which leaves you with no dental plan.

I got wind of it today when I went to the CRA website.

Apparently you need to make less than $90k as a household to be eligible? That’s not a lot, especially considering that two adults and one child likely costs more than $90k a year to house and feed in cities like Montreal.

Edit: wrote this before reading the article, it states as much. $45k/yr/person is almost bottom of the barrel poverty. This also creates another “poverty barrier” where it’s either you make less than $45k and get dental, or make more than $45k and get no dental.
