  • “the weapons it’s using against its Anglophone linguistic minority”

    Bill 101 and the nothwistanding clause that allows it are not new things. If Ontario or Manitoba were going to use that precedent to limit francophones ability to work in French in Ontario they would probably have done that by now, not that Ontario or Manitoba have ever needed any encouragement to push for the assimilation of these people.

    If by weapons (such ridiculous hyperbole) you mean that Quebec is going to spend less on subsidizing foreign students in Anglo Universities, I feel like the anti Indian sentiment in Anglo Canada is going to push them in that direcion already.

    Quebec is not responsible if the the rest of Canada chooses to pretend that the status of English is somehow equivalent to French in this country and institute English protection laws. In fact I would argue that is the right of any province, regardless of how unnecessary it would be, and no business of ours.

    Update to my ongoing attempt to decipher the entire German language from Ich_iel memes:

    Wir brauchen: searching, first person plural continuous

    dieses: these

    Brotchen: pastry?

    Vorschlage: suggestions.

    Kleiner: little (cheating, already knew that one)

    Warum nicht: why not.

    these puppies are going into the spreadsheet and the quest goes on.











  • You’re right that that is not at all what I mean by context. I mean the kind of context that can make what appears to be a simple question much more complex.

    I would say this thread supports my position more than yours, in that the only engaging discussion happening here is a result of attacking memes as propaganda. The actual content of the meme (socialism and memes are both about sharing) has been almost entirely ignored, probably because it is so shallow and meaningless (as are all memes) that there really isn’t much to say about it.
