Should the Canadian federal government force Quebec to repeal its language laws?

[Хahar 🤔]

My favorite example is that in France, stop signs can say STOP, but in Quebec they say ARRÊT.

They should say ARRÊT in France, too.

Even if some of the measures don't make sense now, I think that the paranoia is understandable.

It kind of reminds me of that graph of Christians saying "we're oppressed" while making up the majority... Just change it from "we're being oppressed" to whatever "our language is being suppressed" is translated to in French.

At one point, there was a situation like that of Ireland during the Lordship and early Kingdom. This, of course, basically killed the Irish language.

Ummm.. No.

Yeah, I guess I was exaggerating a bit.

EU uniformity.

Seriously? I don't know why we have "stop" here, it seems to me to have become rather international. Though "STOP" is fine, it's brief, easily comes, it works good for what it is purposed, "ARRET" would be too long to say A-RRET, no, "STOP" is better. Plus "stop" became hugely common in France, surely one of the most used words, we use to pronounce it like " 'top ".

But it's not French.

We don't have ARRÊT on our signs.

Don't be sorry. No matter what would be the reason of this convention, that's like that.

It's like that in many languages, actually.
