-
- There is nothing false in the fact that current legislation in Quebec
- forces children of ALL families who landed here since 26th August, 1977
- (whether they be anglophone or not; whether they be Canadian citizens or
- not) to attend French schools in this province - whether the parents
- want the children to go to French schools or not!
-
- There is nothing false in the fact that current legislation in Quebec
- bans the use of English in commercial signs on stores and busineses.
-
- Indicating ways in which Quebec demonstrates a lack of tolerance is
- NOT giving a false image of Quebec to the rest of the World!
-
- Of course life for an anglophone in Quebec today is not as bad as it
- is for a black or coloured person in South Africa or as bad as it was
- for Jews under Nazi Germany. There is however, legislated denial of
- fundamental human rights and freedoms in Quebec. This is unacceptable!
