If doctors and nurses have to be looking over their shoulder in case, somebody is riding them out for speaking English to an English patient, or even a French patient for that matter, then their undivided attention is not going to be on the care of that patient. Think in terms of an operating room. If doctors and nurses are in the middle of an operation, they have to have in the back of their mind all the time what language they’re speaking to each other, even fearing retribution from the government? This is a matter of great concern for our healthcare system. Once again this, coercive government has put in oppressive law into place. How can this go on?
Both times PQ went to the polls, they had record turnouts. In 1980, almost said 60% they wanted to stay. in 1995, just over 50% said they wanted to stay. That included the First Nations and the Inuit Peoples (over 96% each) Northern PQ, the Beauce, most of island of Montreal, most of the Eastern Townships, and the Outaouais Region (across from Ottawa, the National Capital) Those areas ALL wished to STAY with Canada. " In the aftermath of the close result, the federal government, after unilaterally recognizing Quebec as a distinct society and amending the federal constitutional veto procedure, referred the issue to the Supreme Court of Canada, which stated that the unilateral secession contemplated in the referendum was illegal. " By that same ruling, the French Only Law is ILLEGAL. I was in hospital in Montreal just as Covid hit in March of 2020 (hypoglycemia on my way back to Ottawa from Halifax) and they would NOT speak English to me. My French Language comprehension was decades ago in HS, and they also wanted me to fill out a French Language medical form for billing. I said I needed a translator, as my french was poor, and because of the hypoglycemia, I couldn't even read the form! They keep sending me bills, and I shred them. I'm untouchable over here in Ottawa, Canada (because of my disability status) Until Quebec toes the line, they can STUFF IT. Go Ahead, Leave. Half of the province will STAY with Canada... and the rest will FAIL as a separate entity. 😂🤣
Finally someone is speaking about this disgrace. Healthcare should not be included in the language issue. The Minister of Health in CANADA should step in and stop this useless law. Quebec has hired so many FRENCH ONLY speaking people to work in the HealthCare system who barely speak French properly let alone English. There are many Seniors that speak English and very little FRENCH so all the children need to take time off work to go with them to every appointment just so they can understand what the Doctors and Nurses are saying. A CLSC work actually told my mom that she is not obligated to speak to her in English - I lost it. How dare you tell a Senior Woman that you can't speak to her in English. I speak , read and write in 3 languages - French being one of them but even I prefer to discuss my health in English. This is CANADA if Quebec doesn't like it GET OUT or split the border at Montreal and we can stop this useless Province from ruining our city. The rest of CANADA will not miss you.
?? just don't go to quebec? And quebec does have a significant population that only speaks french. This isn't new?? Also this is not in the fed's jurisdiction. For the very reason that if you aren't a fan then you can move to a province that has different policies. That's the point. If the feds, for some ungodly reason, overstep again then there is no getting away from bad policy, it'll be country-wide and decided in the city of Ottawa rather than locally.

English money? Wealth is going OUT of Quebec, not in. Tens of billions created by French Canadians go to Ontario every year as the English still have a grip on half of Montreal's economy.

When are people through out Canada are going to understand that Quebec is it's own country and the prime Ministers of Canada never took the steps to correct the fact that there are three nations in Canada. There are the many different first nations with the fact that the English are the majority and the French are the minority in Canada. but there are only two official languages in Canada. There is English and some French in Canada and only French in Quebec. The problem is that the French of Quebec don't want English spoken on their territory but demand that French is to be respected throughout Canada. This is a double standard that the prime Ministers of Canada never explained to the French of Quebec. It didn't help that a lot of prime ministers of Canada came from Quebec so that explains that most leaders will ruin Canada for the sake of the French vote.

just do what a pilot did when they wanted him to speak french! he told them in english where he was going to crash! They learned english real fast! Trus story!
I remember a story on a woman in a fire at her house and the fireman asking her 'you don't speak french?" while everything around her was burning down. Anything that has to do with th life and health of a person comes first before any language politic BS! Also, if you are a Canadian of another province you will not get health services and have to pay in advance. ALL other provinces of Canada will allow services and take the health card of the other province. So, if you travel to QC without insurance you will pay for any urgent health care (not refunded), no different than going to another country and you better be fluent in FR too. Be aware of these things before traveling there.
@@Maxime-tc7wt simple this is CANADA where people predominantly speak ENGLISH - if you don't like it .. Get on a plane and move to a FRENCH speaking country there are many to choose from - Daily Flights to France are available.
@@tulip19710226 we speak both in canada, these are the only 2 languages you need. People can manage two languages. And they're sister languages at that so it really isn't that difficult to pick up the 2nd. The REST don't matter and are a luxury that the tax payer should never have to pay for.
Also, many of the official, scientific names for body components, diseases and afflictions are in LATIN, and have NO FRENCH equivalents, sow what are you to do?
that's not how it works. those are terms and are the accepted universal default, you just borrow them and insert them into which ever language you are speaking in. And french came from latin so odds are they can understand the latin better than the anglosphere can, be got our latin through the french anyways.
Our regime gave Quebec, a province largely at odds with the federal government, unilateral free reign over their provincial constitution. A grave error that inevitably paved the way to illiberal and unconstitutional legislation like Bill 96, Bill 101, etc.
We either are a bilingual nation or we are not...quebec MUST speak English too! English MUST be taught in schools in Quebec, otherwise the province of Quebec isn't bilingual. IF the rest of canada is forced to learn french ( never in 53 years have i ever needed to use it) than Quebec need to have english signs and every citizen needs to speak english or fail to graduate, just as it is for english students in every province, why should they get off only speaking one language??? Cancel french classes nationwide, no longer do we need to learn french....its an obsolete language that only politicians speak!!
Québec's official language is only french. English is already everywhere, you said it, you never used french in 53 years... we must protect French, you have absolutely no empathy for french people and it shows, you don't care that millions of people see their own culture disappear.
THIS is the star comment. I love in ottawa and whenever i drive across the river to the quebec side, its lile I am in alien land. No english road signs at all. So unsafe. Are we bilingual nation or not? Cause if we arent, we can save loads of real estate by removing french from our road signs too
@@megan2484 not to me!! Its a safety concern everytime i drive in quebec because there are NO english road signs. I dont know what lun a ven means or any other signs.
This is a lose lose situation, everyone loses even francophones. Because if there's a communication gap it will prolong conversations between hospital staff and patients, it will prolong decision making processes, it can even complicate charting, so then everyone even francophones will have longer wait times. And in the midst of all of it miscommunications can occur and mistakes will happen. Quebec's healthcare system will look like Montreal's construction problem, closed roads and orange cones everywhere.
This is what will happen in Quebec, with the passing of very strict laws to people's religion and language, people will start to move from Quebec. Once the number of the people who leave gets big enough, Quebec or ask for another referendum to leave Canada.
1:30 Demagoguery. Immigrants have to learn the language(s) of the country they come to. It's impossible to accommodate everybody speaking a foreign language. Most importantly, the discussion about English and French in Quebec has absolutely nothing to do with the "poor immigrants" not being able the speak either of the official languages of Canada. Regarding official language use in Quebec healthcare: the issue isn't patients who only speak English, as it's unlikely they would be refused service for that reason. The issue is the increasing number of doctors who only speak English, which is somewhat ironic in this French-speaking province.
What is the purpose of culture war? In political usage, the term culture war is a metaphor for "hot-button" politics about values and ideologies, realized with intentionally adversarial social narratives meant to provoke political polarization among the mainstream of society over economic matters of public policy and of consumption.
Not that it makes it better but the reality is that you can get English communication. And English hospitals automatically send communication in English if you speak English to them. I think they are making it less attractive for people to want to come to Québec and to stay since the federal government won't stop sending people over.
but when u owe qc taxes and u want to make arrangements they SO speak to u in english,,,this is ridiculous, I live in QC and these things pisses me offf.....
?? the anglosphere in the other provinces doesn't particularly care about this. srsly. we visit quebec, we don't stay there. And if we do then we learn french. it's not complicated. If you immigrate to quebec & through their system you're expected to speak french, not english. Why in the world should taxes be used on translators when it is expected that you are passingly fluent in the language of the territory you are a guest in.
If the federal government wanted to demonstrate that it has any concern whatsoever for English speaking Canadians in PQ, and that it has any concern whatsoever ever for the continuation of Canada as a bilingual country, then it should advise Legault that if this language nonsense creeps into healthcare, federal funding for healthcare in Quebec will cease. It’s time to grow a pair when dealing with separatists.
If Canada has both French and English as their official languages, government workers from supervisors all the way up to the Prime Minister must be bilingual, then Quebec should not be exempted from Bilingual laws. The Official Language Act was brought in by Pierre Trudeau and amended multiple times to take positive measures to help minorities speak one or both languages. Unfortunately, that doesn’t seem to work in practice. The language schools are under funded and teachers are under paid. Teachers often do private lessons on the side to pay for the cost of living. Language Schools charge Canadian citizens a lot to attend. This is probably to make up for other expenses but still not affordable for most Canadians. All this to say, a double standard should not be accepted politically. What’s the point of the law if it’s not going to be upheld? Bilingual and both unilingual (French & English) staff should be present at all times during the hours of operations. I understand that learning a language isn’t easy for many so we cannot expect Canadians or newly immigrants to learn a language in 6 months as I believe this was stipulated in the latest bill. Canadians should be comfortable going anywhere to be served in the official language they speak. Again, each government level (Municipal, provincial, and federal) should have all three employees (French, English, and Bilingual) available at all times, providing the paperwork in both official languages.
I know it's not equivalent, but whenever I hear people sing the national anthem of Canada outside of Quebec, they use the English version. It's the same for hockey games. Even when the Montréal Canadian face another team outside Montréal, they'll often sing the English version instead of the bilingual version. Let's just be honest with ourselves, Canada isn't bilingual and Quebec doesn't exactly itself as part of Canada, so why should they really bother pretending to be bilingual when Canada doesn't exactly make an effort either?
My son, now a licensed nurse, had a light facial surgery denied due to this, he went private instead and got better service, I complained to the hosp ombusmen to no avail, it happened to be a Friday aft when he returned my call to which I said "Bon weekend" 😊
As a Quebecer who provides medical care, I have never refused anyone care, no matter what language they speak and I never will. It is against the Hipporatic oath as well as my own personal oath and beliefs, regardless of what any government or law says. Anyone restricting medical care should be ashamed of themselves and choose another profession.
J'aime mon français, oui, l'anglais est ma langue maternelle, mais je suis très passionné par le français, mais néanmoins, ce que fait le gouvernement est mal. Ce n'est pas de la protection mais de l'oppression. Ils doivent être plus attentifs à la vie des gens.
Restricting language anywhere is the stupidest thing I’ve ever heard! Quebec is encouraging language racism. Tourists should simply stop going there. I was born in Quebec and I feel uncomfortable going there due to the language limits. Get a clue Quebec! 😠
Then crazy thing is when I was living in Arizona all the doctors and hospitals have signs asking if you need someone who speaks Spanish. But good ol' Canada won't let you speak English. What a country!
Is there anything more important for the government of Quebec than worrying about French language? Such as Lowering taxes, fixing crumbling infrastructure, fixing access to healthcare, School quality, etc. etc. this is insane, the crazies are running the asylum!!!!
All the companies that operate in English should move to alberta before Quebec makes it ilegal to use English in the workplace, it's only a matter of time before Quebec is separated from Canada, right now Quebec doesn't consider itself Canadian except when it needs cash.
It’s so sad to see the poor doctors, nurses and anyone that serves us in the health care sector being afraid of speaking English because they “have to speak in French”.
I can say we have terrible service in ottawa when the situation is reversed. So I feel for those who have this trouble. It's time we build a universal translator like in star trek.
If you live in a province, you need to 🙏 respect the law and that includes speaking or learning the language of that province! 😊 If you don't like it, maybe you should move to English Canada.
I got shot in Montreal and died in the emergency room waiting area because the staff thought i was asking for directions to the nearest Tim Hortons, I only spoke English 😮 theres internet access up here now and i had to share my cautionary tale. 😇
This doesnt make sense i just visited quebec and almost everyone i talked to knows how to speak english and french ... i think more than 50% of quebec knows how to speak english too now so just get that one nurse who speaks english to speak to the english people
Healthcare is complex enough as is, doctors, nurses and administrative staff don't need more paperwork and people looking over their shoulder. The separatists' are adding one more frustration on the English speaking people of Quebec. We have two official languages in this country, the last time I checked,, Quebec was still a part of the country so they can talk to their patients in French or English. Perhaps we should just cut off all of their transfer $ and let them leave as they do nothing for our bottom line in Ontario. Such discrimination and racism.
The salient point is that these efforts to protect the French language are all doomed to failure. Like so many others, it's a dying language. Even English is constantly being degraded, replaced with emojis, abbreviations, and AI generated dreck.
OK so why not have a few French people working there and a few English people working there that way if somebody comes up there that only speaks 1 language of the 2They can be dealt with I mean what's the big deal
“Each provincial and territorial health insurance plan covers medically necessary hospital and doctors' services that are provided on a pre-paid basis, without direct charges at the point of service. The provincial and territorial governments fund these services with assistance from federal cash and tax transfers.” “Quebec has received equalization money every year of the program, totaling 221 billion dollars, more than any other province, or 51 per cent of all payments." Since Quebec is receiving public federal funding (from Canadians from all provinces), health care should be offered in the official English language 1st; French 2nd; other requested languages after. If the Quebec government is happy to take our money, expect demands to be fair in its use. ALL patients matter equally; NOT just French speaking patients. Who are you trying to mimic? The moral, ethical, above board, Donald The Demon Trumpet? Shame on you!
dialects exist?? And bruh, the anglosphere is filled with them because, unlike the french of France, we don't care to have an appointed governing body dictating how we speak
Northern ontario...Hearst and Dubreuilville have a hard time posting things in English for residents. The entire grocery store is French. French can speak English very badly while English aren't allowed to practice French.😂
English-speaking populations in Quebec's regions continue to decline. That is what Quebec politicians want to happen. They keep making it more uncomfortable for Anglophones in Quebec. The politicians want to drive the English-speaking residents out of Quebec. Every 6 months there is new language legislation to curb the rites of English-speaking Quebeckers in Quebec. The Federal Liberals used to speak up for English-speaking Quebeckers. That ceased with the election of the Trudeau Liberals 9 years ago. Trudeau likes to interfere in other province jurisdictions, but never in Quebec. The English-speaking areas are primarily in Montreal and the suburbs around Montreal why they keep voting for the Federal Liberals is beyond reason.

I remember a story on a woman in a fire at her house and the fireman asking her 'you don't speak french?" while everything around her was burning down. Anything that has to do with th life and health of a person comes first before any language politic BS! Also, if you are a Canadian of another province you will not get health services and have to pay in advance. ALL other provinces of Canada will allow services and take the health card of the other province. So, if you travel to QC without insurance you will pay for any urgent health care (not refunded), no different than going to another country and you better be fluent in FR too. Be aware of these things before traveling there.
I live in Quebec City and can never get service in English even though the nurse practitioner I deal with speaks English but not to me.
french only in healthcare...l am an RN from Ont and dont speak french so if l wanted to move there l couldnt practice..and nurses are in need..
simple.. learn french
@@Maxime-tc7wt Simple....get out of Canada.While you still can.
@@Maxime-tc7wt simple this is CANADA where people predominantly speak ENGLISH - if you don't like it .. Get on a plane and move to a FRENCH speaking country there are many to choose from - Daily Flights to France are available.
@@tulip19710226 we speak both in canada, these are the only 2 languages you need. People can manage two languages. And they're sister languages at that so it really isn't that difficult to pick up the 2nd. The REST don't matter and are a luxury that the tax payer should never have to pay for.
Lol! Your not getting any care in any language!
LOOOOOLLLLOLOLOLOL so true
Oh my!
That's true😅
I’m French. I’m fed up with the language police! It’s a dictatorship!
or do you think it is a last gasp of trying to preserve language and culture?
tu es stupide
Also, many of the official, scientific names for body components, diseases and afflictions are in LATIN, and have NO FRENCH equivalents, sow what are you to do?
latin is used in multiple languages, modified for each one by how it's pronounced. it's not a problem
that's not how it works. those are terms and are the accepted universal default, you just borrow them and insert them into which ever language you are speaking in. And french came from latin so odds are they can understand the latin better than the anglosphere can, be got our latin through the french anyways.
Our regime gave Quebec, a province largely at odds with the federal government, unilateral free reign over their provincial constitution. A grave error that inevitably paved the way to illiberal and unconstitutional legislation like Bill 96, Bill 101, etc.
We either are a bilingual nation or we are not...quebec MUST speak English too!
English MUST be taught in schools in Quebec, otherwise the province of Quebec isn't bilingual.
IF the rest of canada is forced to learn french ( never in 53 years have i ever needed to use it) than Quebec need to have english signs and every citizen needs to speak english or fail to graduate, just as it is for english students in every province, why should they get off only speaking one language???
Cancel french classes nationwide, no longer do we need to learn french....its an obsolete language that only politicians speak!!
Québec's official language is only french. English is already everywhere, you said it, you never used french in 53 years... we must protect French, you have absolutely no empathy for french people and it shows, you don't care that millions of people see their own culture disappear.
Well said, long over due to end this hypocrisy lol
THIS is the star comment. I love in ottawa and whenever i drive across the river to the quebec side, its lile I am in alien land. No english road signs at all. So unsafe. Are we bilingual nation or not? Cause if we arent, we can save loads of real estate by removing french from our road signs too
Quebec speaks more English than any other province speaks French
@@megan2484 not to me!! Its a safety concern everytime i drive in quebec because there are NO english road signs. I dont know what lun a ven means or any other signs.
Well, this is Canada, not France. We speak English here
canada's official languages are french and english. Québec's official language is only french
@xodr5 can you elaborate? what makes ontario a circus?
What they speak in Quebrc isnt even French! Ppl in France laugh at this cacaphonie that they call "French" here
@@smashmusique And Hindi
@xodr5 can you please leave.
This is a lose lose situation, everyone loses even francophones.
Because if there's a communication gap it will prolong conversations between hospital staff and patients, it will prolong decision making processes, it can even complicate charting, so then everyone even francophones will have longer wait times.
And in the midst of all of it miscommunications can occur and mistakes will happen.
Quebec's healthcare system will look like Montreal's construction problem, closed roads and orange cones everywhere.
This is what will happen in Quebec, with the passing of very strict laws to people's religion and language, people will start to move from Quebec. Once the number of the people who leave gets big enough, Quebec or ask for another referendum to leave Canada.
I was Moving People out of there for 20 years who said they were pushed out of communities 1990-2010
1:30 Demagoguery. Immigrants have to learn the language(s) of the country they come to. It's impossible to accommodate everybody speaking a foreign language. Most importantly, the discussion about English and French in Quebec has absolutely nothing to do with the "poor immigrants" not being able the speak either of the official languages of Canada.
Regarding official language use in Quebec healthcare: the issue isn't patients who only speak English, as it's unlikely they would be refused service for that reason. The issue is the increasing number of doctors who only speak English, which is somewhat ironic in this French-speaking province.
Time for Ontario to separate from Canada we have to be bi lingual but Quebec insults the rest of Canada free Ontario
“Quebec is the only place where you’ll get glared at in Walmart for speaking English” - Steve Hofstetter
What is the purpose of culture war?
In political usage, the term culture war is a metaphor for "hot-button" politics about values and ideologies, realized with intentionally adversarial social narratives meant to provoke political polarization among the mainstream of society over economic matters of public policy and of consumption.
Not that it makes it better but the reality is that you can get English communication. And English hospitals automatically send communication in English if you speak English to them. I think they are making it less attractive for people to want to come to Québec and to stay since the federal government won't stop sending people over.
Let Quebec separate already.
One of the many reasons I had to leave Quebec to live in Ontario.
Dreadful
but when u owe qc taxes and u want to make arrangements they SO speak to u in english,,,this is ridiculous, I live in QC and these things pisses me offf.....
?? the anglosphere in the other provinces doesn't particularly care about this. srsly. we visit quebec, we don't stay there.
And if we do then we learn french. it's not complicated. If you immigrate to quebec & through their system you're expected to speak french, not english. Why in the world should taxes be used on translators when it is expected that you are passingly fluent in the language of the territory you are a guest in.
Exactly. I am an anglo annoyed at how much this country wastes on expensive translatotion services. LEARN FRENCH!
@@Tribuneoftheplebs Apparently you need to learn English again with spelling like that.
If the federal government wanted to demonstrate that it has any concern whatsoever for English speaking Canadians in PQ, and that it has any concern whatsoever ever for the continuation of Canada as a bilingual country, then it should advise Legault that if this language nonsense creeps into healthcare, federal funding for healthcare in Quebec will cease. It’s time to grow a pair when dealing with separatists.
If Canada has both French and English as their official languages, government workers from supervisors all the way up to the Prime Minister must be bilingual, then Quebec should not be exempted from Bilingual laws. The Official Language Act was brought in by Pierre Trudeau and amended multiple times to take positive measures to help minorities speak one or both languages. Unfortunately, that doesn’t seem to work in practice. The language schools are under funded and teachers are under paid. Teachers often do private lessons on the side to pay for the cost of living. Language Schools charge Canadian citizens a lot to attend. This is probably to make up for other expenses but still not affordable for most Canadians. All this to say, a double standard should not be accepted politically. What’s the point of the law if it’s not going to be upheld? Bilingual and both unilingual (French & English) staff should be present at all times during the hours of operations. I understand that learning a language isn’t easy for many so we cannot expect Canadians or newly immigrants to learn a language in 6 months as I believe this was stipulated in the latest bill. Canadians should be comfortable going anywhere to be served in the official language they speak. Again, each government level (Municipal, provincial, and federal) should have all three employees (French, English, and Bilingual) available at all times, providing the paperwork in both official languages.
And the west pays for it all.
I know it's not equivalent, but whenever I hear people sing the national anthem of Canada outside of Quebec, they use the English version. It's the same for hockey games. Even when the Montréal Canadian face another team outside Montréal, they'll often sing the English version instead of the bilingual version. Let's just be honest with ourselves, Canada isn't bilingual and Quebec doesn't exactly itself as part of Canada, so why should they really bother pretending to be bilingual when Canada doesn't exactly make an effort either?
My son, now a licensed nurse, had a light facial surgery denied due to this, he went private instead and got better service, I complained to the hosp ombusmen to no avail, it happened to be a Friday aft when he returned my call to which I said "Bon weekend" 😊
I’ve always said it was some unique politician that agreed to teach 80% of Canadians French rather than teach 20% Canadians English.
As a Quebecer who provides medical care, I have never refused anyone care, no matter what language they speak and I never will. It is against the Hipporatic oath as well as my own personal oath and beliefs, regardless of what any government or law says. Anyone restricting medical care should be ashamed of themselves and choose another profession.
Smoke and mirrors 🪞
someone needs to remind the French , they lost
so you won't even cite the directive? you just say it's bad?
Quebec is not beholden to the Canada Health Act, SMFH.
J'aime mon français, oui, l'anglais est ma langue maternelle, mais je suis très passionné par le français, mais néanmoins, ce que fait le gouvernement est mal. Ce n'est pas de la protection mais de l'oppression. Ils doivent être plus attentifs à la vie des gens.
Restricting language anywhere is the stupidest thing I’ve ever heard! Quebec is encouraging language racism. Tourists should simply stop going there. I was born in Quebec and I feel uncomfortable going there due to the language limits. Get a clue Quebec! 😠
language isn't a race bruh
Definitely not an immigration issue…this is about either official language English or French not others!
Then crazy thing is when I was living in Arizona all the doctors and hospitals have signs asking if you need someone who speaks Spanish. But good ol' Canada won't let you speak English. What a country!
You mean NOT SO GOOD OLD QU3BEC.
Is there anything more important for the government of Quebec than worrying about French language? Such as Lowering taxes, fixing crumbling infrastructure, fixing access to healthcare, School quality, etc. etc. this is insane, the crazies are running the asylum!!!!
All the companies that operate in English should move to alberta before Quebec makes it ilegal to use English in the workplace, it's only a matter of time before Quebec is separated from Canada, right now Quebec doesn't consider itself Canadian except when it needs cash.
Divide and rule is the mantra of Canadian head of state,
It’s so sad to see the poor doctors, nurses and anyone that serves us in the health care sector being afraid of speaking English because they “have to speak in French”.
Good work Quebec!
This is gonna help TONS of people....
How come none of them speak Anish???
Why does the rest of Canada, have to be bilingual, while Quebec can restrict to just French!! Hypocrisy at its finest!!!!
the rest of canada is not bilingual
I can say we have terrible service in ottawa when the situation is reversed. So I feel for those who have this trouble. It's time we build a universal translator like in star trek.
If you live in a province, you need to 🙏 respect the law and that includes speaking or learning the language of that province! 😊
If you don't like it, maybe you should move to English Canada.
I got shot in Montreal and died in the emergency room waiting area because the staff thought i was asking for directions to the nearest Tim Hortons, I only spoke English 😮 theres internet access up here now and i had to share my cautionary tale. 😇
Canadian Healthcare is an oxymoron.
We speak english in French in our country. Why do we have to hear Everybody else's language? This is supposed to be Canada.
Terminate all transfer payments to Quebec.
They want English money and not a word of English spoken
This doesnt make sense i just visited quebec and almost everyone i talked to knows how to speak english and french ... i think more than 50% of quebec knows how to speak english too now so just get that one nurse who speaks english to speak to the english people
In my opinion, Canada is a dual language country. But one province, should not be able to turn its back on a language here
Their directive is completely wacky.
So, hard line Quebec think that French language is more important than people health. This is absurd and outrageous
Please I am sorry there is no language in healthcare
So Quebec recognizes French is part of thier culture. They want to protect their identify.
Canada should follow this lead.
Learn the history of Canada to see how bad of an idea that is lol. It's going to be converted back into New France and you'll pay for reparations
Healthcare is complex enough as is, doctors, nurses and administrative staff don't need more paperwork and people looking over their shoulder. The separatists' are adding one more frustration on the English speaking people of Quebec. We have two official languages in this country, the last time I checked,, Quebec was still a part of the country so they can talk to their patients in French or English. Perhaps we should just cut off all of their transfer $ and let them leave as they do nothing for our bottom line in Ontario. Such discrimination and racism.
Absolument!
Victoire, salut, mon chef.
The salient point is that these efforts to protect the French language are all doomed to failure. Like so many others, it's a dying language. Even English is constantly being degraded, replaced with emojis, abbreviations, and AI generated dreck.
That’s so weird
Let them separate. Buh bye.
That’s why Quebec has empty hospitals…schools …
Big businesses are leaving the province.
OK so why not have a few French people working there and a few English people working there that way if somebody comes up there that only speaks 1 language of the 2They can be dealt with I mean what's the big deal
don't give up. In BC (British China) everything is covered with the Chinese characters already
“Each provincial and territorial health insurance plan covers medically necessary hospital and doctors' services that are provided on a pre-paid basis, without direct charges at the point of service. The provincial and territorial governments fund these services with assistance from federal cash and tax transfers.”
“Quebec has received equalization money every year of the program, totaling 221 billion dollars, more than any other province, or 51 per cent of all payments."
Since Quebec is receiving public federal funding (from Canadians from all provinces), health care should be offered in the official English language 1st; French 2nd; other requested languages after.
If the Quebec government is happy to take our money, expect demands to be fair in its use. ALL patients matter equally; NOT just French speaking patients.
Who are you trying to mimic? The moral, ethical, above board, Donald The Demon Trumpet? Shame on you!
Quebec is where Canada stores all the Whiners and Complainers.😂😂
They don't even speak proper French in Quebec.
dialects exist?? And bruh, the anglosphere is filled with them because, unlike the french of France, we don't care to have an appointed governing body dictating how we speak
What's proper French? What would you even know about it, Adrian?
Mfers call "fin de semaine" "weekend" like anglos lol. They don't speak proper French either
It's wierd when Quebec is just one province and everyone chooses to speak English in all others. Even when they know French. 😅
Northern ontario...Hearst and Dubreuilville have a hard time posting things in English for residents. The entire grocery store is French.
French can speak English very badly while English aren't allowed to practice French.😂
In 40 years nobody will speak french in Quebec.
Distinct nation getting wiped out.
Quebec should just separate.
DOUBLE STANDARDS
HYPOCRISY
English-speaking populations in Quebec's regions continue to decline. That is what Quebec politicians want to happen. They keep making it more uncomfortable for Anglophones in Quebec. The politicians want to drive the English-speaking residents out of Quebec. Every 6 months there is new language legislation to curb the rites of English-speaking Quebeckers in Quebec. The Federal Liberals used to speak up for English-speaking Quebeckers. That ceased with the election of the Trudeau Liberals 9 years ago. Trudeau likes to interfere in other province jurisdictions, but never in Quebec. The English-speaking areas are primarily in Montreal and the suburbs around Montreal why they keep voting for the Federal Liberals is beyond reason.
Fake news
Quebec is NOT a NATION, it is a PROVINCE, a BILINGUAL province, do you understand that Legault?
it is not officially a bilingual province, look it up. Sure, they are anglophones, but it's only french
Harper said it was a nation
@@jberg5441 for the votes.
Tf? We're the REAL Canadian nation. You're so desperate for culture you appropriated poutine and maple syrup from us. That's how little you exist as a "Canadian"
Please separate from Canada, thank you.
We need doctors en Besion Les doctor pas la language francais
Wow
2 words,English words,Google translate.

No concern here
My PASSPORT still says CANADA!!!!!
So 🖕 you Quebec and Quebec language law !!
Such a small silly people to do something like this.
How about you finally learn french? Such bad guests
