Dear Megool,
You have your opinion, I have mine. I agree with some aspects you have pointed out and there are other points, where I disagree. The fact of the matter is we as individuals don’t always agree and never will. We should have a choice and the government should not be dictating where my child should go to school. It is just wrong! The government does not care about my child’s future. They are thinking about future tax payers, shackled to the province to pay for their billions of dollars of debt. Our children forced to be a statistic for the collective Français to be controlled by the government of Quebec. What happens to all the 40% dropouts in the French school system? 60-65% students actually graduate French school. That is a huge sign that the Bill 101 is a failure. To have such a high percentage of students dropping out is a shame and shows the system is broken. These are our children’s lives and futures that are being shattered due the ongoing dysfunctional politics for way too many years. We are in the province Quebec, which still remains within Canada that has the Canadian Charter of Rights that should protect the rights of all its citizens and not just those outside of Quebec. Canada is either a democracy or it is not. The French language is far from being extinguished and there are many other ways to encourage people to speak French without coercion. We’re not just playing politics, we are playing with individuals lives and their ability to survive in a changing world and global economy.

“In the Quebec anglophone community, the silence has been deafening”, it is the calm before the storm. Closing of the legal loophole is effectively putting the last nail in the English coffin of the Bill 101’s systematic ethnic cleansing on paper. The fact that Quebec has gotten away with violating our rights for all these years is mind-blowing, how a democracy is able to justify taking away our children's right to a quality bilingual education, which hinders their future opportunities in an era of a knowledge driven global community network. Let us not forget the native born Francophone Canadian children’s right to choose the language of schooling is also denied, which enslaves them and their unborn children to the insolvent province of Quebec for generations. This is blatant bigotry, racism and discrimination. It is Canada’s moral bankruptcy to safeguard all their Canadian children from the language zealots of an outdated mentality. “What’s the point?” Our Children’s future in a so called democracy! Let’s boycott Quebec. North America, spend your money outside of Quebec. Don’t buy anything made in Quebec. Your English dollars are not welcome. Don’t give the Quebec province a dollar, until they start showing others a little respect and tolerance, which they so distinctly demand.
