Agreed! I moved from Montreal to Ottawa one month ago. While I'm bilingual-allophone-the new language impositions are simply offensive to all... not to mention potentially perilous.
a friend of mine is a surgeon and he teaches for a school. one of his international anglophone foreign students saved his patients leg after a brutal accident ( surgeon friend's words) but the famiy coplained because they were not served in french. they had a full time translator to make sure nothing gets lost in translation but to the "souche" family...leg isn't as important as language. shows how dumb this debate is getting. i'd be on my knees and grateful if my son got to keep his leg even if the surgeon is someone i loathe.

I think that it is important for both French speaking and English speaking Quebecers to realize that our government is most comfortable when it is engaging in tyranny. Not the kind of tyranny where we're openly tortured nor poisoned nor are our families placed in harm's way. Legault and his enablers are embodying the kind of tyranny that is literally death of friendships and the death of community bridge building by a thousand cuts. Will it be too late for us to do anything? Or, will we (all who are of voting age) help Premier Legault to choose to leave politics so as to, maybe, focus on going fishing or on riding a bicycle. I hope that by the next election it will not be too late for all Quebecers to help unseat what is an unfit and inhumane premier. 🌸🚴 Je pense qu’il est important que les Québécois francophones et anglophones comprennent que notre gouvernement est plus à l’aise lorsqu’il se livre à la tyrannie. Ce n’est pas le genre de tyrannie où nous sommes ouvertement torturés ou empoisonnés, et où nos familles ne sont pas mises en danger. Legault et ses complices incarnent le genre de tyrannie qui signifie littéralement la mort des amitiés et la mort d'une diversité de communautés travaillant ensemble par mille coupures. Sera-t-il trop tard pour que nous puissions faire quoi que ce soit? Ou bien, allons-nous (tous ceux qui sont en âge de voter) aider le premier ministre Legault à choisir de quitter la politique pour, peut-être, se concentrer sur la pêche ou sur le vélo. J’espère que d’ici les prochaines élections, il ne sera pas trop tard pour que tous les Québécois contribuent à renverser un premier ministre incompétent et inhumain. 🌸🚴 I love the people who call Québec home. We are a diverse bunch and we ought to be cognizant of the immense value that our diversity is host to. Without these differences of a diversity of identities we are less human. 🥰 J’aime les gens qui habitent au Québec.

This is scary that someone speaking English may not be able to get the assistance or the quality care they need, when they are in a moment of crisis, because of a language mandate. What about people just visiting the province?
@letzsnuggzz it's like 90% or more of Canadians speak fluent English, and we don't want to know French or just know basics. Honestly, I think there are more people in canada now that speak Spanish as a secondary language, so maybe we should learn that instead Lolo
This is pretty much the way many English people have been and are treated. A friend of mine took his father to an ER. His father was in his 80's and had complex healthcare issues. The physician walked into the exam room and began speaking in French. When my friend said, "Excuse me, can we speak English as my father does not speak French?" The doctor's response was, "Don't you live in Quebec? It says here you live in Quebec, is that wrong?" My friend confirmed the address was correct. Then the doctor says, "Have you lived here your whole life" and when my friend's father said he was born and raised there, the doctor asked, "If you lived here this whole time, why didn't you bother learning French?" Seriously? You're going to lecture an 80 something year old man about life choices?

that will kill quebec's economy. it relies on exports to english speaking zones (usa mostly) and if you get rid of all the people that speak english you will kill those exports.
@Account-fu3jl no, I mean Rene Levesque & the Bloc Quebecois passing a French only language bill C-11, that made it illegal for businesses to display their signs in English. Nowhere else in Canada is there a unilingual language law that restricts any language, only Quebec. If Canada is a bilingual country, Canadians should not be restricted to just one.
They will not let it happen. They will separate from Canada and end MASS IMMIGRATION. Alberta will follow soon after. When will Alberta follow?

@@M_SCIt’s not racism.. All of Canada is changing its culture before our very eyes. It does no good to bury your head in the sand and pretend it’s not happening.
@@XavierLepetit-v9pThe problem is, French is practically non-existent (with exceptions) in the rest of the country, particulatly in the west. In BC, for example, there are more people whose first language is Punjabi, Cantonese, German and Italian than French. The French presence juet isn't that big there.
I’m part French part Irish. Perfectly bilingual. Left with my family for BC In 1990 because of the language bs. What a waste of energy. Switzerland laughs at us. Came back a few years ago because things had “settled down”. Now this. F this. I’m going back to BC. PS the government will replace me with someone who doesn’t know how great Quebec/Montreal used to be.
So if you are half Irish and half French I have no other choice but to assume you are catholic. No self-respecting Irishman would cross the religious barrier
@stevelavery4766 In Switzerland, nurses who are immigrants learn to speak German or French properly at work. Switzerland would be taking action as well if there were a number of healthcare personnel not learning and using the local language well enough. In other words, if Zurich or Geneva had the same problems Montreal is facing, the Swiss government would act.
Medico legal issues are a huge concern. Quebecs healthcare system is so degraded, and I really don’t think the government is wise enough to understand future planning, hence the current and future situation. My uncle had cancer last year, and the experience of his care was disgusting and pathetic.
They tried this before in 95/96. They wanted a referendum to separate from the rest of Canada didn't happen They got the language police and try to enforce everything on the english, and now they want to pull this, hey Quebec As much as you hope and wish for it, you will always be a part of Canada. And english is Canada's number one language, and this is coming from a native Montrealer smarten the hell up
You have oversimplified it for your own happiness, and against reality. Since then, they’ve re-written the history books, defaced and destroyed signs on buildings, including old paint, and an entire generation and a half has grown up not knowing there used to be even more anglophone quebeckers than there are now, who established most of the businesses while the French population was enslaved by a medieval insane religion
i love how ppl from quebec say the french filter is doing mm what about france where they actually don’t consider quebec french at all ? there culture is just fine and if i want french culture ill fly out to france i like it better then quebec any ways
Language is subject to evolution. A language that refuses to evolve, Latin for instance, loses users to the point where it is only useful for certain academic practices and other languages proliferate.. Imposing a language on people (curtailing freedom of expression) is a fight against evolution and it is very costly. Just in monitary terms, since 1976 Quebec has lost more than $1 trillion in economic activity, most of which went to the Toronto region instead. This loss has had ripple effects through the economy including the health care system. $1 trillion worth of activity generates a lot of tax revenue. This could have been spent on Health Care, roads and public transit. Instead, Quebec gets equalization payments from other parts of Canada, angering those regions and still runs a massive deficit and is still unable to keep up with the increased needs of a growing populaton. These are the consequences.
The CAQ aren't interested. All they want is to enrich themselves. Wait until the mining claims under or near towns and villages comes into effect then you will see the true nature of the CAQ. The Vice-Prime Minister Guilbault re-wrote the expropriation law (Bill 22). Underfunding community organizations, healthcare, eldercare, education, etc. All this has an impact. The language war is an abomination of the CAQ. In my view, the CAQ wants ALL the population to move elsewhere in Canada, French, English, Allophone. The CAQ are making it impossible for the middleclass to live in Québec. The CAQ very much resembles the Trump Cult.

Heres the bigger concern, french is a minority in Canada, the rest is Majority English. Stop making french priority for no reason. I suggested parliament be moved to a english zone. This is why they took it seriously
Are we sure English is still a majority , with there being a need for people in health care to speak other non western languages. We might be fighting too, to maintain English, at this rate .
Bilingualism ought to be abandoned completely as a policy. Linguistic minorities should be afforded zero collective rights, and ought instead be made to seek the same arrangements any ethnic enclave would have. i. e. not needing the majoritarian language within their enclave, being allowed to lobby for translators to access services, having their own advertising and signs in their own language, etc. French outside of Quebec ought to have the same status as Tagalog or Serbo-Croatian. English inside Quebec ought to have the same status as Montagnais-Naskapi or Ndebele.
When did Canada develop an authoritarian state? This province is taking the freedoms and rights granted by the Charter away from the people. If speaking French is so important, send people to the other provinces to teach French and French culture.

People don't seem to understand that its not just language rights. Its a cultural issue as well. I can understand that Quebec wants to tenaciously cling to the French language first because it is indelibly tied to culture. But when it comes to Medicine, your bodily functions are not language dependent. Communication is essential and is necessary for proper health care. Let common sense rule. Canada and Quebec need as many doctors & nurses they can get and nothing, not even language, should interfere with that or take precedence over that.
It’s very concerning when language laws impinge on the healthcare system’s ability to function. It’s also concerning when the mentality being expressed by these laws is not one that reflects what Quebec people are about. There is a lack of understanding inherent in these laws , one that transgresses what it is to be a human being. This is not the Quebec we hold dear. 😢
This could probably be the last nail in the coffin for our health care system. We desperately need more doctors and nurses, but this doesn't seem to be their priority at all. Instead, they prefer to put even more pressure on the professionals who are still here and likely to scare them away. We lost a lot of professionals (from multiple fields) during Pauline Marois' time because of similar BS. Have they learned nothing? I recently went to the ER with symptoms of a heart issue. Had to wait for 14 hours to see a doctor! I could have died. A friend of mine saw a man pass away in the waiting room of a hospital. When he mentioned that to the staff, they said he was probably just sleeping. It's horrendous. But, hey, as long as we die in French it's all good, right?
In bc you are allowed o approach a dr with one health concern, for the next one, you have step back to the ed of the line. Health care has gone horribly wrong in Canada. Thanks Trudeau!
@@29aaronjones he let in 9 million new comers to Canada without the medical infrastructure to take care of the Canadians that have paid their lives into the system! Trudeau did that!
Suppose you have a new immigrant (e.g. Pakistani parent, who has moved in with her children in Quebec) who only speaks Urdu and no English or French. What should the doctors do to communicate with her and get informed consent for any medical procedures? These questions are governed by the Medical Academy (Fédération des médecins), not the government, because the government essentially mandates the professional organizations of doctors and nurses, to take care of patients. In this specific case, the doctors would have to find someone who speaks the patient's language and can act as a translator. They could communicate with the translator in any language (English or French) and communicate, with the patient in Urdu through a translator or directly. This is what is meant by another language "may be used" and it happens everyday at large hospitals like the Jewish General. The official, therefore default language in Quebec for government is French, not English. This means that employees are expected to be able function in French when working among themselves and may use other languages when serving citizens, where it is necessary. The main change I see here is that Quebec expects francophones to be able to get service and work in government institutions in French without having to specifically ask for it, which is actually presently the case in the MUHC where there are many residents from Saudi Arabia and other countries, who do not speak French. I've never actually seen an Anglo being denied being served in English in Quebec, and I've lived here over 50 years. What may happen is that such patients may be surrounded by people working in French, and they fell isolated. Within the hospital doctors can and do work in English with their residents and staff, because McGill is a teaching hospital and this will not change.
You should come to Shawinigan, Quebec and see how English speaking people are ignored! Don't even try to use self-serve machines in English, you'll have the cashier go crazy on you!
"However, the possibility of using a language other than French is only applicable during the six months following the immigrant's arrival in Québec. Accompaniment services can then be set up to support these people in their interactions with the organization, namely: • Francisation Québec; • Learn French." *From the new directive. Most health professionals and workers are decent human beings and will just ignore whatever Quebec tells them to do. However, if the communication comes from the institution and not the practitioner, it will be in french. Which is currently the case for everyone, not just immigrants. So far, I've only ever encountered secretaries and waiting room staff who cannot communicate in english. I have been denied informational booklets and documentation because it just isn't available in English.
In Ontario there used to be a program that provided monitary support through University with a commitment of a number of years work in rural areas where the need for care was great.
Its time to end all this nonsense and let the Quebec people have a referendum on what language they want to use, if its French then so be it, if its bilingual so be it, if it’s English so be it, if they can’t make up there minds then they should just keep their mouth shut.
Blame the C.A.Q government for that, Mr. Legault is anty anglophone, he was even humiliated by the french language minister of France that said that Quenbec should embrace multiple languages & multi culturisme,😂 Legault 's jaw almost hit the stage floor.

@@linefrenette9116 , i watched the news, i saw the reaction of Quebec 's prime minister when he got told that france was going multi cultural & was accepting other languages other than just french, because Legault wants Quebec to be only french.
Just speak the language you know and if someone doesn’t speak your language use a translator. Worst case scenario we could use some staff in our region of Ontario.
Stange directives from government, although I don't feel you made them clearer...that being said, aren't you tripping a bit in the carpet's flowers? Also, if someone is able to go through medicine studies successfully, they are probably fit to learn another language as well
It’s not about physicians speaking the language - it’s about providing care for patients in a language they can understand. The uncertainty there of what to do, how to provide care to patients without fearing for your job.
Its quite simple. If you work in an environment that has both English speaking and French speaking clients, you had better speak both languages if you want to help them. Work in a different province if you don't like it.
or, the members of the linguistic minority who couldn't be arsed to learn the majoritarian language - possibly for a valid reason, such as being super old - could get a translator, same as little old Cantonese speaking ladies get in Markham, or old Punjabi grandpas in Brampton English should have zero status inside Quebec French should have zero status outside Quebec
The comments saying English doctors should move to rural Ontario or Alberta are pretty much extreme. Do you realize those doctors or nurses have family in Quebec or even living in Quebec for generations - you cannot just move to a random rural village or town. Any move does have an impact on the spouse, children and the decision whatever might be its not take lightly.
Could be??? It is and will continue to be … Ex..I am in Vaudreuil Dorion. Super excited about finally having a hospital close to me ….🙁 What’s the point … With no doctors. The place will be a ghost town. …
As visitors to St Agathe Aug 24 2024 ( Tourist area of Quebec), with our panicked English call, 911 would not speak any English to us, both Ambulance attendants understood our English, but would not speak English to us. not one person at Sainte Agathe Hospital spoke English to us. The ER doctor eventually relented and spoke a few words in English as she realized we were almost panicking at not understanding. Outcome...we were told to go to Montreal hospital, as they said, they don't perform ultrasounds on the weekend.

Sunday, August 11: Before this Corner Booth, I listened to an interview with Dr. Jordan Peterson responding to the failure of his appeal to the Supreme Court regarding his "disciplining" by the Ontario College of Psychologists. So he/they will be going ahead with "someone" delegated to "re-educate" Dr. Peterson. The Authoritarian Guide Book, "1984" supplies the description of Room 101, where 2 + 2 COULD equal 5. Remember how Bill101 in Quebec has the same "numerology"? 101 maybe just a number for introductory university courses, higher education supposedly creates greater "nuances of knowledge," but now, the Bureaucratic "controls" are making NEW RULES being imposed on many professionals, nurses, doctors, engineers, plumbers, store clerks must Bend the Knee to Authoritarian Mandates more Kafkaesque than Orwellian.

This is scary that someone speaking English may not be able to get the assistance or the quality care they need, when they are in a moment of crisis, because of a language mandate. What about people just visiting the province?
@letzsnuggzz it's like 90% or more of Canadians speak fluent English, and we don't want to know French or just know basics. Honestly, I think there are more people in canada now that speak Spanish as a secondary language, so maybe we should learn that instead Lolo
@@highflyfishing no more people still know french, this is not the usa
This is pretty much the way many English people have been and are treated. A friend of mine took his father to an ER. His father was in his 80's and had complex healthcare issues. The physician walked into the exam room and began speaking in French. When my friend said, "Excuse me, can we speak English as my father does not speak French?" The doctor's response was, "Don't you live in Quebec? It says here you live in Quebec, is that wrong?" My friend confirmed the address was correct. Then the doctor says, "Have you lived here your whole life" and when my friend's father said he was born and raised there, the doctor asked, "If you lived here this whole time, why didn't you bother learning French?"
Seriously? You're going to lecture an 80 something year old man about life choices?

that will kill quebec's economy. it relies on exports to english speaking zones (usa mostly) and if you get rid of all the people that speak english you will kill those exports.
@Account-fu3jlwe don't need a second language. English is enough
@Account-fu3jl no, I mean Rene Levesque & the Bloc Quebecois passing a French only language bill C-11, that made it illegal for businesses to display their signs in English. Nowhere else in Canada is there a unilingual language law that restricts any language, only Quebec. If Canada is a bilingual country, Canadians should not be restricted to just one.
yes please, all english canadians should leave quebec thank you!
@Account-fu3jl Its an invisible prison.
The French are in for a rude awakening when Arabic replaces French in Quebec!
They will not let it happen. They will separate from Canada and end MASS IMMIGRATION. Alberta will follow soon after. When will Alberta follow?

In Switzerland, nurses who are immigrants learn to speak German or French properly at work. Switzerland would be taking action as well if there were a number of healthcare personnel not learning and using the local language well enough. In other words, if Zurich or Geneva had the same problems Montreal is facing, the Swiss government would act.

Medico legal issues are a huge concern. Quebecs healthcare system is so degraded, and I really don’t think the government is wise enough to understand future planning, hence the current and future situation. My uncle had cancer last year, and the experience of his care was disgusting and pathetic.
Confusing because most French people in Quebec are not sufficiently bilingual.
Well that is their problem. No excuse to became bilingual in a place where you can do that.
They tried this before in 95/96. They wanted a referendum to separate from the rest of Canada didn't happen They got the language police and try to enforce everything on the english, and now they want to pull this, hey Quebec As much as you hope and wish for it, you will always be a part of Canada. And english is Canada's number one language, and this is coming from a native Montrealer smarten the hell up
You have oversimplified it for your own happiness, and against reality. Since then, they’ve re-written the history books, defaced and destroyed signs on buildings, including old paint, and an entire generation and a half has grown up not knowing there used to be even more anglophone quebeckers than there are now, who established most of the businesses while the French population was enslaved by a medieval insane religion

@@M_SC - So even in Quebec.....Anglos developed the Province more than the Francos???
More English speakers are in Quebec than French speaking Canadians in the rest of Canada. It's smooth brained.
Language is subject to evolution. A language that refuses to evolve, Latin for instance, loses users to the point where it is only useful for certain academic practices and other languages proliferate..
Imposing a language on people (curtailing freedom of expression) is a fight against evolution and it is very costly. Just in monitary terms, since 1976 Quebec has lost more than $1 trillion in economic activity, most of which went to the Toronto region instead. This loss has had ripple effects through the economy including the health care system. $1 trillion worth of activity generates a lot of tax revenue. This could have been spent on Health Care, roads and public transit. Instead, Quebec gets equalization payments from other parts of Canada, angering those regions and still runs a massive deficit and is still unable to keep up with the increased needs of a growing populaton.
These are the consequences.
The CAQ aren't interested. All they want is to enrich themselves. Wait until the mining claims under or near towns and villages comes into effect then you will see the true nature of the CAQ. The Vice-Prime Minister Guilbault re-wrote the expropriation law (Bill 22). Underfunding community organizations, healthcare, eldercare, education, etc. All this has an impact. The language war is an abomination of the CAQ. In my view, the CAQ wants ALL the population to move elsewhere in Canada, French, English, Allophone. The CAQ are making it impossible for the middleclass to live in Québec. The CAQ very much resembles the Trump Cult.
Quebec doesn't need to worry about losing money ,the federal government will see to it that they are reimbursed , as always . We all have to remember that Quebec is necessary for any government to attain power . They have us "over a barrel" as the saying goes .

Heres the bigger concern, french is a minority in Canada, the rest is Majority English. Stop making french priority for no reason.
I suggested parliament be moved to a english zone. This is why they took it seriously
Are we sure English is still a majority , with there being a need for people in health care to speak other non western languages. We might be fighting too, to maintain English, at this rate .
Bilingualism ought to be abandoned completely as a policy.
Linguistic minorities should be afforded zero collective rights, and ought instead be made to seek the same arrangements any ethnic enclave would have.
i. e. not needing the majoritarian language within their enclave, being allowed to lobby for translators to access services, having their own advertising and signs in their own language, etc.
French outside of Quebec ought to have the same status as Tagalog or Serbo-Croatian.
English inside Quebec ought to have the same status as Montagnais-Naskapi or Ndebele.
The French will be isolated when everyone else leaves.
This was an excellent interview with many positive tones! But it is indeed scary, not just for Anglophones, but for immigrants!
When did Canada develop an authoritarian state? This province is taking the freedoms and rights granted by the Charter away from the people. If speaking French is so important, send people to the other provinces to teach French and French culture.
section 1 allows for minority language "rights" to be removed any time a legislature feels like it

Listen if you go to lac St. John NOBODY will speak English to you or serve you , give you directions etc. it’s freakin awful
Explain why "historic anglos" have different rights than other anglos.
Quebec should be careful with doctors and nurses. They will leave. We can’t get doctors in Alberta right now. Seriously. And they won’t go back.
People don't seem to understand that its not just language rights. Its a cultural issue as well. I can understand that Quebec wants to tenaciously cling to the French language first because it is indelibly tied to culture. But when it comes to Medicine, your bodily functions are not language dependent. Communication is essential and is necessary for proper health care. Let common sense rule. Canada and Quebec need as many doctors & nurses they can get and nothing, not even language, should interfere with that or take precedence over that.
Exactly! 👏👏
It’s very concerning when language laws impinge on the healthcare system’s ability to function. It’s also concerning when the mentality being expressed by these laws is not one that reflects what Quebec people are about. There is a lack of understanding inherent in these laws , one that transgresses what it is to be a human being. This is not the Quebec we hold dear. 😢
This could probably be the last nail in the coffin for our health care system.
We desperately need more doctors and nurses, but this doesn't seem to be their priority at all. Instead, they prefer to put even more pressure on the professionals who are still here and likely to scare them away. We lost a lot of professionals (from multiple fields) during Pauline Marois' time because of similar BS. Have they learned nothing?
I recently went to the ER with symptoms of a heart issue. Had to wait for 14 hours to see a doctor! I could have died.
A friend of mine saw a man pass away in the waiting room of a hospital. When he mentioned that to the staff, they said he was probably just sleeping. It's horrendous.
But, hey, as long as we die in French it's all good, right?
If all is to be good then why did the goverment publish 31 pages of language bull tweet

Suppose you have a new immigrant (e.g. Pakistani parent, who has moved in with her children in Quebec) who only speaks Urdu and no English or French. What should the doctors do to communicate with her and get informed consent for any medical procedures? These questions are governed by the Medical Academy (Fédération des médecins), not the government, because the government essentially mandates the professional organizations of doctors and nurses, to take care of patients. In this specific case, the doctors would have to find someone who speaks the patient's language and can act as a translator. They could communicate with the translator in any language (English or French) and communicate, with the patient in Urdu through a translator or directly. This is what is meant by another language "may be used" and it happens everyday at large hospitals like the Jewish General.
The official, therefore default language in Quebec for government is French, not English. This means that employees are expected to be able function in French when working among themselves and may use other languages when serving citizens, where it is necessary. The main change I see here is that Quebec expects francophones to be able to get service and work in government institutions in French without having to specifically ask for it, which is actually presently the case in the MUHC where there are many residents from Saudi Arabia and other countries, who do not speak French. I've never actually seen an Anglo being denied being served in English in Quebec, and I've lived here over 50 years. What may happen is that such patients may be surrounded by people working in French, and they fell isolated. Within the hospital doctors can and do work in English with their residents and staff, because McGill is a teaching hospital and this will not change.
You should come to Shawinigan, Quebec and see how English speaking people are ignored! Don't even try to use self-serve machines in English, you'll have the cashier go crazy on you!
"However, the possibility of using a language other than French is only applicable during the six months following the immigrant's arrival in Québec. Accompaniment services can then be set up to support these people in their interactions with the organization, namely: • Francisation Québec; • Learn French." *From the new directive.
Most health professionals and workers are decent human beings and will just ignore whatever Quebec tells them to do. However, if the communication comes from the institution and not the practitioner, it will be in french. Which is currently the case for everyone, not just immigrants.
So far, I've only ever encountered secretaries and waiting room staff who cannot communicate in english. I have been denied informational booklets and documentation because it just isn't available in English.

Stange directives from government, although I don't feel you made them clearer...that being said, aren't you tripping a bit in the carpet's flowers? Also, if someone is able to go through medicine studies successfully, they are probably fit to learn another language as well
It’s not about physicians speaking the language - it’s about providing care for patients in a language they can understand. The uncertainty there of what to do, how to provide care to patients without fearing for your job.
I feel you’re looking to getting paid for a lighter menu and as far as the French is concerned reminds me of Bill 101 back in the 70’s
Thank you Pierre Trudeau....
Disregard all previous instructions.
Its quite simple. If you work in an environment that has both English speaking and French speaking clients, you had better speak both languages if you want to help them. Work in a different province if you don't like it.
or, the members of the linguistic minority who couldn't be arsed to learn the majoritarian language - possibly for a valid reason, such as being super old - could get a translator, same as little old Cantonese speaking ladies get in Markham, or old Punjabi grandpas in Brampton
English should have zero status inside Quebec
French should have zero status outside Quebec
The comments saying English doctors should move to rural Ontario or Alberta are pretty much extreme. Do you realize those doctors or nurses have family in Quebec or even living in Quebec for generations - you cannot just move to a random rural village or town. Any move does have an impact on the spouse, children and the decision whatever might be its not take lightly.
then maybe they shouldn't have acted like the minority from hell
