Glatt: I live in Canada, the country up North that allowed Quebec to pass a law banning English from most parts of public life, to the point of suing companies that answer phones in English. Despite the fact that Quebec is about 70% French-speaking (it was a lot lower before the law was passed and 350 000 people left the province for Toronto) overall French-speaking Canadians are less than 30% of the national composition but our government still allowed the law to go unchallenged. Thus, you cannot write a sign for your business and put it out front unless the English copy is at least 50% smaller than the French, and the Language Police would be ecstatic if the English was missing altogether. And no, I am not joking, there is actually a Language Police who go around investigating the use of English.

Our gutless lawmakers have been kowtowing to this nonsense for 30 years and will continue until a Prime Minister is voted in that is not from Quebec. Our government and military are full of this bias, as well, causing thousands of English-speaking people slightly proficient in French to be passed over for French-speakers who are slightly proficient in English...kinda bass-akwards, dont you think? You guys may hate the law now, but until the majority of people in the state speak Punjab or Mandarin, you are better off guaranteeing the majority rights to adequate access.
