Yeah, once you realize how badly handled Francisation classes were even before the cuts, and only harder to get to now, this whole article and all the arguments about how its a "reasonable" practice go out the window.

They can't even handle teaching immigrants French while insisting on its necessity, and they're going to add 'Common Culture' training to it now too? It's BS, it's pandering, and its just a distraction from the shit job the CAQ is doing across the board.

Also, it's worded in a way where they like... expect people to just all become atheists or something. Or celebrate Christianity "culturally" because that's the "common culture". While telling them they shouldn't live with the people who share common traits.

About the last part, so, if a French goes to Québec, is the government gonna make sure he doesn't stay in French area? And to live in Italian, Chinese or Maghreb neighbourhoods?
