If there is ever an invasion we will use deep-newfie code talkers, the baymen are unintelligible except to one another
I lived there as a baby, and learned to speak there. After we moved to the US, my mother forced me into speech therapy for years.
Hey we gotta allow Hoserish still, eh? The US can take right off, you knobs. <snort> Good Day.
LOL The American government just can't help itself, huh? Truly, the dumbest administration of all time. The Americans have successfully united Western and Eastern Canadians, something they should be very scared of since we never got along. Although the laws have been controversial, you can't say Quebec hasn't done a great job resisting Anglophone hegemony, and I suspect America will not be the exception they're hoping for.
Tell the demented rapist and his toadies to eat shit.
CBC has English coverage, and the law is only described as a "trade irritant", not anything illegal, which is surprising given the insane claims the Trump admin likes to make:
The Office of the U.S. Trade Representative released its annual list of global trade barriers Tuesday, and it includes Quebec's controversial language law Bill 96 as a trade irritant between the two countries.
The law isn't new but it has provisions that kick in in June that seem to be the main issue:
The changes impact the use of French in the judicial system, health care, schools, workplaces and businesses across the provincial economy, but the issue singled out as a trade barrier by the U.S. is how it impacts trademarks and labelling.
"U.S. businesses have expressed concerns about the impact that Bill 96 will have on their federally registered trademarks for products manufactured after June 1, 2025, which is when the relevant provisions of Bill 96 enter into force," the National Trade Estimate Report said.
When the new provisions kick in this summer, trademarks displayed on a product can only appear in English if there's no French version of the trademark registered. If the trademark or label contains generic terms or descriptions that are not in French, the trademark must be changed to include a French version of those terms and descriptions.
Companies found to have violated these changes to the law can face fines of up to $90,000 per day for their third offence, while individuals can be fined up to $42,000 a day for their third offence.
Oh ho ho..... you've pissed off Quebec now. Gods help you now USA. :p
Carney has said the same.
PP, of course, is willing to talk about it.
In that case I don't see why they'd object to it, their president seems to be all in favour of illegal trade barriers.
Awwwww : ( pleurer plus 💔
Speaking your own language is an affront to American business. Better clean up your act Frenchie.
