As much as I love elections, I cannot help but be annoyed when it comes time to hold one in la belle province… cuz language laws always shove their way to the forefront.
Leader of the péquistes, Pauline Marois:
Ms. Marois said the decline of the French in Montreal signals the need for a tougher language law.
I have never agreed with the concept of a unilingual Quebec within an offically bilingual Canada. Bill 101 was and is a slap in the face to the rest of Canada. Marois knows this but cares not because only a small, small minority of anglophone voters mark X’s for a PQ candidate; and justifiably so.
Gonna be a long campaign…
