OK, now I am laughing.
The post you were responding to:
>> Also the russian language get supressed and in general russians are seen as enemies. Not just russian soldiers, but people with a russian cultural background. Nationalism in all its glory.
Any reason you would leave out that first part? Seems sort of relevant does it not?
- _DeadFred_ 2y agoYes, because 'and' here indicates an additional point being made, which was the point I was responding to (notice I talked about Mexicans and not about spanish). Now please respond to my Canadian laws that protect and/or elevate the french language challenge to your assertion that there would be violence if Canada had laws that favored a specific language. Because Canada has just those very laws to protect French.
- rufus_foreman 2y ago>> Now please respond to my Canadian laws that protect and/or elevate the french language challenge I'm honestly not sure what your point is here. Are you comparing laws like the ones in Canada that guarantee an ethnic minority the right to be educated in their own language to laws like the ones in Ukraine that deny an ethnic minority the right to be educated in their own language? To me, those seem to be very different things.
- _DeadFred_ 2y agoWhy different? English speakers are the minority in Quebec. French speakers in a majority French speaking region felt their language should be protected from the much larger influence english. Ukrainian speakers feel their language should be protected from the much larger influence russian language. Again see my above video of the President of Ukraine performing on Russian state TV in the russian language to celebrate New Years. Hardly the behavior of a Russophobe. https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/montreal/bill-96-major-provisions-into-effect-1.6861311 https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/montreal/bill-96-major-provis...
