Quebec province is a totalitarian facist bastard state.

It’s not the first and only example of Quebec’s ludicrous interference in human freedom of expression. This is from an article from the cbc.ca web site:

Quebec language police nab Montreal bar for vintage posters

An Irish pub in Montreal will fight an order from Quebec’s language watchdog to take down antique advertising posters from its walls.
The Office de la langue francaise (OLF) issued the order to McKibbins Irish Pub on Feb. 6, informing the tavern it was violating Quebec’s language charter by displaying the imported vintage posters.
The wall hangings include vintage advertisements for Guinness and St. James Gate Dublin, imported from Ireland.
McKibbins owner Rick Fon told CBC News he will not take the posters down because they serve as decoration, not to advertise beer.
The OLF said it received a complaint about the pub and sent an inspector to investigate the downtown watering hole.
The inspector ruled McKibbins’ bilingual menu, bar service and vintage posters do not respect article 58 of Quebec’s language charter.
The OLF was not available for comment on Thursday.

How is this any different from the religious persecutions, or the NAZI repressions that led to the slaughter of millions of innocent people? Well, the government of Quebec has not yet made it a criminal offense punishable by death. But don’t be impatient, with a provincial attitude like they have, it won’t be long before that happens too. Bunch of stupid people if you ask me.

I readily admit to exaggeration and the use of inflammatory words. Tough shit, get over it. I am a native Quebecer myself, having been born in Quebec city, but I left there at the age of 6 before they got all stupid on us. I speak, read, and write French. But not if I can help it.

    Thanks for the comment, Matt. I’m having fun. I’ve got a lot to say but not much time to devote to it yet.
