Not For French Rights Essay

When most people think of Quebec, they usually think French as their language, but why? Quebec isn’t only French it has English-speaking people living in it too. But ever since Bill 101 was placed all people really see in Quebec is French stores and French signs. It shouldn’t be this way because; there are quite a few people in Quebec who speak English, there shouldn’t be a restriction on the language you want to speak. Another reason is that English shouldn’t be illegal on street signs. Last reason is that the province shouldn’t be allowed to pass any more rights until all the violence to prove a point has stopped.

The first reason is that, there are a lot of English people in Quebec, so there shouldn’t be just one language.

How are the English people suppost to figure out where to go? In Ottawa and other places there is both English and French on most of the street signs, since Canada is bilingual. What would happen if tourists came to Quebec and they couldn’t read the signs? They would probably never go back to Quebec and tell other people not to go there because they wouldn’t be able to read the signs. And that would decrease Quebec’s tourist rate.

The last reason is that, there should be no more laws past about French laws until the violence to prove a point has stopped. The people who are killing and kidnapping people just because they don’t like what the country has decided to do, must be stopped. And the province shouldn’t be allowing the bi-laws that the rebelling people are coming up with, too be past until they stop...
