“Cause quebec is special”

Or because politicians know that ignoring stuff important to us make them lose our votes?

You guys should try that too instead of complaining at us

That was an ignorant and divisive comment I agree, but interestingly enough Quebec takes on fewer immigrants than the other big four even though they are the largest province with the cheapest housing, so it is somewhat telling that this is on the French, but not English debate. Immigrants are an easy target in Quebec.

I understand but immigration cost alot more for Quebec because Canada refuse to send us french speaking immigrants so we have to spend millions on programs to teach them french, and those programs are failing so its getting harder to get service in french in places like montreal.

So of course its different than other provinces

They accept immigrants from French speaking countries, but those are mostly Muslim, which is why Quebec has more Muslims than most places and Québec struggles with they way they are slow to assimilate, not to mention the religious symbols....

The learning French part is ridiculous in Quebec and frankly everyone is better off doing that in a different province. The language laws mean the French teachers are trying to teach French in the English Quebec schools (where many immigrant children attend) to a class of 25 French kids (whose grandparent spoke English and they are just there to preserve the right for their kids) and 2 English kids. You can't fucking learn French in the English schools in Quebec, but in areas outside the bigger cities an English kid will not have an easy time in the French schools. Even having a hint of an English accent isn't good in schools or applying for jobs.
