    Nursing cultural grievance is a great way to distract people while you rob them blind, which is what Quebec nationalists are doing.

      Exactly. Does anyone remember how our healthcare system was falling apart during and after COVID? One would think that it would be an election priority, and yet during the 2022 campaign it was all about language issues.

      The sad thing is that it was extremely effective, and people like the poster I replied to are exactly the reason. Distract people with inflammatory divisive politics, and let the real problems fester and rot.

      I do not care a bit if my doctor or my kids doctor speaks French. I just want to see a doctor.

      It’s happening in a lot of places, unfortunately.

      Turning people against each other or claiming that minority X is the problem while they strip their citizens of their rights and public services. Meanwhile, I can’t even get a doctor, and 811 is less than useless because the public system is fucked.

      I posted this article to point out that it’s happening here too. This isn’t even xenophobia since Quebec Anglophones have always been here in significant numbers, this is trying to push out / assimilate a people, just like the English were doing to the French when Canada was young. Let’s not repeat history.
