CAQ government votes to expand Bill 101
The CAQ has voted to expand the reach of the Charter of the French Language. Maybe this will slow down the real estate boom a little.

Quick! The people are realizing that the CAQ often acts before it thinks! And that the Caisse is doing worse than the markets! Beat the same old drum!

Given that it’s 2020 and the charter is 43 years old, anyone who is seriously considering moving here won’t be deterred by the french language. Ontario is wide open and directly next door, so those who choose to come to Quebec made a conscious decision to live with this political reality. Especially business owners. We can rest easy knowing rent will continue to increase when the sun rises tomorrow loool

Yeah I think we’re going to need another referendum to get the rents down. This is only going to effect small companies, so expect lots of light industry corporate divisions to make sure their staff is somehow under the magic number. That was the loophole everyone used to avoid francisation in the past anyhow, and it doesn’t cost anything to do.

It’s not going to affect anyone. This was just a meaningless motion to start a potential examination of existing law.
Bureaucrats are going to toss this in their equivalent of the honey-do jar.

Kevin, what is a honey-do jar? (I can assume from context you mean putting it in a place where it will be forgotten, but I don’t know the expression.)

The to-do list of household chores, e.g.; Honey, do _____ on Saturday

You can tell I don’t have a “honey” to assign chores to.

As a homeowner the household maintenance chores are always growing 🙂

Yes Kev, no house, no husband, no honey. How do I manage.
