Spend taxpayer money to get rid of a person in a purely ceremonial role because they don’t speak the correct official language. Quebec is a joke.
La position de lieutenant gouverneur est la vraie joke. Il est grand temps qu’on se débarrasse de la monarchie dans la démocratie canadienne.
Et je n’apprécie pas franchement que tu viennes dire que notre société est une joke pour essayer de préserver notre culture et protéger notre langue dans notre face dans notre propre communauté.
Franchement, c’est pas gentil du tout.
Racist
Fuck you. Disagreeing with racist policies is not racist.
The office of the Governor-General needs to be bilingual; the Governor-General doesn’t need to be bilingual.
Québec keeps doing these things and the Laurentian Elite keeps getting surprised by ‘Wexit’ and Western Alienation…
There’s flaws with the ruling and the article specifically notes the Lt-Gov is not specified in the Language Skills Act. It was noted that with the ruling the “hope” is that a number of laws are changed so that the law reflects the judges ruling, a situation that reflects it’s not illegal. Go ahead: ask yourself “what is preventing the PM from appointing another unilingual Lt-Gov?”
Nothing prevents it from happening, it goes against the Constitution and it’s up to the government to do something about it and I’m sure Quebec will fight much harder to see french getting the respect it deserves.
Alright, but don’t be surprised that BC, Alberta, Saskatchewan, as well as Newfoundland and Labrador also fight for themselves. Insisting that high-level positions be fluent bilingually disenfranchises unilingual provinces.
