Quebec Racists
 

Any one seen the YT video with the two tourists conversing in English, when a French speaking Quebec Racist told then to speak French?

Imagine if that happened in Toronto, telling an East Indian couple to converse in English.? Or walk up to a group of Chinese and tell them to speak English as they are in Canada.

I was under the impression that English, and French was the Canadian language.?

I think one resident from Quebec has defined this as being "Integrate or f**K off". Apparently, that is acceptable behaviour in Quebec for residents. One wonders if it is appropriate behaviour against tourists.

French is the official language of Quebec. A quick wiki through their charter shows that English must be provided in most federal matters, (as French must be in the rest of Canada), and there are many restrictions on commercial and public use of text, and on use of French in the workplace, there is no law against speaking English on the street. They just happened to video a drunk/racist/lunatic/hobo or whatever. My experience in Montreal was that they wanted me to at least make an effort to speak French, and when they saw how poor my highschool French was, they spoke English willingly. Some things are easy - 'le smoked meat', svp.

All very simple really....stay clear of Quebec if at all possible....works for me. When travelling throughout 'Canada'....I like to be able to read the road and information signs....not too much to ask...other than in Quebec! I don't have French at all...just one of those things, which makes life difficult as in when travelling through many parts of that Provence....so I stay clear if at all possible.

I thought it might be a television station, perhaps a version of MTV with cancon.
