Roughly 86% of those living in Quebec are Francophone. At a national level Quebec is a minority but still holds roughly a quarter of Canada’s population so that’s quite a large Minority group.
What laws like this are doing in Quebec is a continuation of the French separatist movement that has latched on to anti-immigrant and anti-anglo sentiment. This law also coincides with several laws outlawing the wearing of religious garb like the Hijab or Turbans by religious minorities. (Read: non-christians.)
Quebec and it’s current government are a driving force behind a new wave of Ethnic Nationalism. English speakers no longer have the right to send their children to English school, the English school system is being strangled and so much more.
This is not about protecting language. It’s about erasing another.
