What responsibility is it of Quebec’s to police how other provinces and the federal government treat non quebecois?
Generational wealth is anti meritocratic and should be abolished
Update to my ongoing attempt to decipher the entire German language from Ich_iel memes:

Why We’re Capitalizing Bajor
The Times has changed its style on the term’s usage to better reflect a shared cultural identity. Here’s what led to that decision…

IE regulatory capture and soothing bullshit?
I love the way the two principle evils of DS9 are both motivated by a deep conviction that they have been treated unfairly.
Thus is a holdover from half remembered lessons on Plato I guess. Socrates is contrasted with the rhetoricians as seeking Truth, a noumenal thing beyond us that we discover (or recall as Socrates would put it). The rhetoricians representative Gorgias has his argument famously summed up as “man is the measure of all things”, that is to say that nothing is either good or bad but thinking makes it so.
Rhetoricians famously taught people how to convince others of their point of view, essentially modern debate technique. Socrates undermined this practice by pointing out that the skills employed (tone of voice, rhythm, eloquence) had nothing to do with determining truth.
With this argument in mind we can see why “rhetoric” is now used as a shorthand for emotional appeals, or style over substance. Rhetoric is what you rely on when you cannot make a structured and logical argument, while in theory the truth is the truth even if delivered in a dull monotone of limited vocabulary.

Yeah, like a working class person.
No argument was made. I am just responding with a true report from someone who has in fact met working clas speople, being one of them. They are on fact very transphobic,
I don’t enter into it. This is a common opinion amongst people with whom I have worked.
“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.
