The changes, which impact out-of-province students, have been criticised by Quebec's English universities.

      First person I’ve ever heard say they don’t want to live in Montreal, sounds like someone from Alberta

        I don’t want to live in Montreal but that’s because I don’t like cities in general so whenever I go to Montreal I try to make it quick… Well, I take the time to eat at one of the tons of awesome restaurants 🤤

      I’ve only ever really been to Toronto, Vancouver, Montreal and Canadian Niagara Falls. Montreal is fun and different, Toronto is like a baby NYC, Vancouver was cool but just ok. I’d go back to Montreal before I went back to any of the other places. Except in winter.

    All this talk of Quebecois separatisme is giving me think DFW was a lot more prophetic than we thought…

    French Canadians have a stereotype of being pretentious and I love it. Keep being odd Quebec.

      They can still study in English if they want to, they just have to learn the local language.

      Try to go to university in Vancouver without knowing a word of English.

          What doe that have to do with the topic at hand? What you’re implying is nothing but a hypocrisy fallacy.

            It means that it has to do with ethnic superiority. It isn’t that they are worried about the uniqueness of Quebec vanishing it means they are worried about their specific group not running things.

          I speak both official languages fluently and I’m sad that a local first Nation language isn’t part of the curriculum starting in primary school.

          It’s also pretty funny that you’re insisting on first Nations considering they are part of the few people that are guaranteed to be able to go to school in either French or English in Quebec.

            Say this comment in a language spoken by a First Nation please.

            Someone has problems listening and understanding in English. You should probably not attend university, nothing for you there. It might introduce you to new ideas.
