“Jews may leave” following new language law
B’nai Brith says Jews may leave Quebec following the new language law (Bill 96) because it will become more difficult to find rabbis willing to move here.
Am I cynical to feel that there are some people in Quebec who may feel that getting Jews to leave is a win?

I’m still waiting for the demographic realization about what it really means when more francophones are moving to the regions https://www.journaldemontreal.com/2022/06/13/demographie-des-regions-revitalisees-par-la-pandemie

Interesting, Kevin. As more disgruntled Montrealers find paradise in the country, the chasm between La Métropole and the rest of the province widens. Perhaps a special status can be negociated for the island like the Cold War Pact that instituted West Berlin?

For decades, Quebec governments have taken steps that have weakened French in the rest of the country, such as taking part in lawsuits involving minority language rights, and now the current government is just applying those steps to Montreal, which as everyone knows is really part of Canada and not Quebec. :/
