It was an exhibition on the top floor of the tallest building in the city. It was comparing Montreal to Quebec City trying to draw more people and business to Quebec City. One of the "selling" points was a statistic saying that: 1. Montreal has about 50/50 French/English split whereas in Quebec City it's something like 98/2 French/English. Yes, that was presented as an advantage. 2. There was a graph showing how the city is becoming more and more French-speaking over time. Again, proudly presenting that fact as a selling point. I never said they are openly hostile but by hindering any English business and opressive language laws they drove whole communities of English speakers away. That's a fact. |
