Quebec to pass onerous language law
Quebec experiences pretty significant societal isolation: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;i.redd.it&#x2F;wczkvtt99z431.png" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;i.redd.it&#x2F;wczkvtt99z431.png</a><p>Worse yet, when they go to France... the French will refuse to talk to them in french and default to English with them. Whereas Belgium or Switzerland doesn&#x27;t really have this problem. Quebec feels they are literally on their own, they effective are. Their language barrier problems significantly isolates them. Historically this has been destructive to their economy. Pierre Trudeau tried to fix this but in the end really resulted in the rest of Canada paying Quebec huge money to stay in Canada. Idiotic at best and has been producing anti-quebec sentiment for some time. I believe we are somewhere around -60% dislike toward Quebec from the rest of canada.<p>This produces significant nationalist&#x2F;separatism sentiment. Their federal and provincial representatives right now are literal separatists. Which doesn&#x27;t make sense at all.<p>The problem, Quebec basically can&#x27;t leave Canada. Quebec has a budget deficit of about 6.5$ billion and a -$27 billion tax balance. So if they leave Canada they will immediately have about 25% deficit that will mean they have to shutdown multiple social nets. Healthcare and education being shutdown would likely make separatism quite unpopular.<p>They would also have to adjust for negative sentiment and drop in trade. As Canada becomes far wealthier, they would become quite poor due to their isolation.<p>Meanwhile Quebec seems to have taken to a new technique for their separatism. They don&#x27;t plan to leave Canada anymore. They are making it virtually impossible for the rest of the provinces to stay.<p>Ideally the smartest thing to do would be Ontario provincial government to require french fluency with all students by graduation. End their isolation by having french in Ontario. I don&#x27;t see that ever happening.<p>It&#x27;s inevitable Quebec leaves or gets kicked out.
