Quebec’s anglophones have been cast adrift by the Trudeau government

The anglophone community in Quebec is furious. Given a million angry English speakers are concentrated in two-dozen Quebec ridings, if I were a Liberal, I would be very, very worried.

Quebec’s Bill 96 also aligns with the Trudeau government's amendments to the Official Languages Act, Bill C-32, which emphasizes rights of francophones in the rest of Canada and Quebec over those of anglophones, writes Andrew Caddell. Official Languages Minister Mélanie Joly, pictured in October 2020, tabled Bill C-32, which applies Quebec’s language laws to federally chartered companies, many of which operate in English, on June 15.
