FIRST READING: Quebec to pass unbelievably onerous language law
National Post (CA) ^

Posted on 05/15/2022 7:16:19 PM PDT by ameribbean expat

Doctors would be forced to address patients in French

With limited exceptions, Bill 96 requires doctors to address their patients in French, even in situations where both doctor and patient would better understand each other in another language. Certain bilingual institutions, such as the Jewish General Hospital, are exempt. As are patients who can prove that they’ve attended an English-language school in Canada, or immigrants who have arrived in Quebec within the last six months. But for everyone else, everything from cancer diagnoses to Alzheimer’s treatment must be performed in French.

Not sure how or why the rest of Canada tolerates this.

This is just one of the things you get when you don’t have freedom of speech. You know, the thing the liberal talking heads view as basically a cancer.

“Not sure how or why the rest of Canada tolerates this.”

What’s it to the rest of Canada?

I think I’d say “Bonjour”, then look the patient over at a distance of 5 or 6 feet, make a guess at his condition, write a prescription or two and finish with “Allez”. I figure I could see 50 a day.

These Frenchies were always prickly abut their language and culture. I mean I don’t fault them for wanting to preserve it, but this step seems a bit much.

More Trudeau (French) lunacy. A dictatorship, just like what the Biden Regime wants to institute in our Country. He and his oligarchs (Big Tech) along with the complicit and corrupt MSM are well on their way towards their socialist paradise.

We can only slam Canada so much because it is happening here too. Only we’ve got the mid-term elections coming up in 6 months after which we will be well on our way to stopping the Commie takeover of our Country. Not sure what remedies are available to the Canadian populace other than when they’ve fully had it, revolting against their tyrannical dictator. They may be too far gone; I hope for their sake that they are not.

Most of Canada lives every day as if Quebec doesn’t even exist.

The last time Quebec embarked on a stupid xenophobic crusade like this was the early 1990s. Between the late 1970s and the late 1990s they ended up chasing many iconic Canadian company headquarters out of Montreal to other major Canadian cities.

Chapeau means hat...Œuf means egg.....

It’s like those French have a different word for everything.

A shot from the Candy Striper Scene would be even more appropriate.

You realize that the one you posted is a complete rip-off of a scene out of The Life of Brian?

Well, this is insane. I have to believe thw vast majority of the general public don’t support this.

Well considering Michael Moore wrote the script, it doesn’t shock me if he plagiarized it.

Quebec has been like this for years, decades even.
Extreme Chauvinism and compulsive conceit.

*When dealing with individuals, I have found usually when someone is overly proud, excessively prone to bragging, that means they are covering up something that shames them in a profound and disabling manner. The Quebecers are very insecure about something that does not change.

Too bad for any tourists who get sick who don’t speak French. Montreal has a lot of English-speaking residents and probably not all of them are bilingual. I guess they’ll have to drive to Ottawa for medical care.

Rip off isn’t quite the same thing as plagiarize-—

all three of the scenes are genius.

Trudeau is fluent in French, but not really at the native level. He stumbles in French and makes too many mistakes. But his accent is pretty good.
