The Quebec government is proposing an increase in tuition fees for international and out-of-province students attending English-language universities as a way to protect the French language.

    Thank you for your very civil response.

    You on the other hand were saying moments ago that the loss of a language is not cultural loss, and blabbering about language ghettos - fuck off with that racist bullshit anyway. If you don’t care about your culture being erased, not my problem.

    Earlier you said that it’s okay for millions of immigrants to lose their language, but now you equate that to “your culture being erased”. This means that in your mind culture erasure is fine as long as it only affects immigrants. But now you criticise me for being okay with losing my language? So which side of things are you on?

    As I said earlier, I’m on the side that understands that language and culture are distinct, which is obviously true given that a person can learn multiple languages and retain the same knowledge, beliefs, customs, traditions, etc.

    Have a great day, sir/madam.
