The attitude you display in this post suggests that it's a good thing for everyone that you moved. Quebecers are actually very tolerant of Anglophones and while it is difficult to adapt to using a new language it is not impossible and is actually fun in many ways.
French survives in a sea of anglophone hegemony only because of such language laws.
- benjohnson 7y ago>>Quebecers are actually very tolerant of Anglophones I can vouch for that - if you make any attempt at all to speak the most basic French they love you for making the attempt.

- kalenx 7y agoWell, it depends. If you want a dispense to wear a hard hat of a construction site because of your turban then yes, this may come as a problem: https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/montreal/quebec-court-of-appeal-sikh-truck-drivers-1.5281757 https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/montreal/quebec-court-of-appe...
- angry_octet 7y agoIf you were in Québec you couldn't miss seeing all the anti-Singh (NDP leader who happens to be Sikh) comments, many referring to his turban. (It is now illegal in QC to be a public servant and wear e.g. a turban, yarmulke, crucifix, etc. Public buildings are still adorned with crucifexes and saint's names for reasons of 'cultural respect'.)
- angry_octet 7y agoThis is the distillation of the delusional Québec separatist view. It kills innovation and economic development, and leads to the rampant religious discrimination and xenophobia now seen in the province.
