in shitty Quebec news I recently learned that paying taxes for the English schools is only optional and that it costs significantly more if you choose to support them. well this is a huge load of fucking shit if ever I saw

Wait, how did I miss this?
You're telling me that English schools are basically private schools in Quebec?

maybe? I don't know all the facts, I know that you can't send kids to english school unless the parents went to English school in Quebec, when we first came here my parents had to fight just to put me in English school because the government of Quebec automatically enrolled me into a French School. Immigrants in Quebec are forced into French Schools with no say in the matter and I'm am an Immigrant, but fuck that we fought it because there was no way I was going to be able to pass in a school that only functions in a language I don't know
English schools are shutting down all over because they get no funding and the government has it set to make it hard to send kids to the schools. english makes up about 6% of the population at about 300,000 some odd people, only people of that 300,000 can send their kids to English schools but there are not a lot of English schools.

It is almost funny how those who attempt to fight monsters will become monsters themselves.
"We must stop the repression of our culture and language! So lets repress the culture and language of others!" This is a rather transparent attempt to go after the English speakers.

some do, I know I do and some teachers do. I don't think everyone does though, clearly the politics don't. That or they really just don't care, there is still a group wanting to split away from Canada after all

Quebec isn't going anywhere, though, and thankfully most Quebecois are happy with that.
