Give me a break. They're being displayed accurately even if they're in another language. And if, for instance, you have something in english in Montreal, or especially in one of the predominantly English boroughs in Montreal, then the majority of the population can read it. The majority of the population also very definitely knows what pasta refers to.
Hmm, if certain workplaces are exempt, maybe it's not as simple as "English is permitted in the workspace"? Or maybe that statement is even flat out false?
Again, false equivalency. We're talking about forcing workplaces to be in a certain language, not refusing to speak the language of a workplace.
Lol, I've seen the EMSB. Don't even get me started.
The problem is: you talk your way around, find excuses for and misrepresent the transgressions against anglophones. You excuse restrictions on free expression with things like "there's a handbook to avoid writing the wrong thing", you try to indirectly excuse abuses against anglophones with "look how bad Francophones have it elsewhere", and you do mental gymnastics to explain how forbidding languages is somehow an anti-exclusionary practice, it's absurd. At this point, there's no point comparing since you don't even accept what is happening with anglophones for what it is.
Good god, it reminds me of arguing with fascists.
Its ok, when you catch your breath and think it over rationally, you'll understand you are the one misunderstanding and misrepresenting it. And like its not your fault. The Montreal Gazette has been stoking this hate for decades.
I gave you all the context you could possibly need. Now you just need to put yourself in the shoes of another person.
