Include anglo Canadians in there too!

Complaining about bilingual (english + french) positions in the public service is a favorite hobby of anglo public servants, as if the french ones didn't need to learn a second language to get the job... Heck, it's not rare to see/hear one argue that french Canadians should just start speaking english and stop bothering them about their "unique culture"...

But hey, it's not racism... Or so they say 🤷

I can confirm this, in high school (Québec) no one really gives a f**k about learning English as they don’t need it if they stay in Québec and don’t understand that knowing English is a valuable asset.

Pretending not to know is the preferable choice for me.

The right isn't big on education, and it really shows.

I am a bilingual illiterate. I cannot read or write in 2 different languages.
