    “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.
