Lets do referendum on Bill 101 in Montreal area.

In today’s the Gazette news I have read an article “Charest government's 'inertia' is eroding French: Marois Premier 'risks sowing disorder' in Montreal, PQ leader tells party”
(http://www.montrealgazette.com/life/Charest+government+inertia+eroding+French+Marois/2254695/story.html)


The lady says:
"Some people are angry now because they can see there is an erosion of French,"
Marois said.
"Right now I think (Charest) risks sowing disorder in a city like Montreal, which is our metropolis, because there are people who are getting more and more angry at the way French is being treated in Montreal.”

I want to comment on this one that there some people are angry on how English is treated in Montreal and in Quebec in general and I think PQ and existing legislation risks sowing disorder in a city like Montréal.


"Inertia and inaction also produce opposition, objections and social problems. Right now I think Mr. Charest is sending a very bad message to Quebecers.


So if I understand correctly this “prominent“ lady wants to say that Mr. Charet is not promoting new discriminatory legislations against Canadian official language English and that makes her upset.


"The current government is so inert, so disinterested in identity questions, questions of French and culture that we have to shake things up. They are not the ones who will defend French."


With relation to her previous citation she says that Liberals not making enough discriminatory unconstitutional laws but PQ will do that.

She said
when the PQ first created Bill 101 there were warnings of unrest, but today the charter is a "source of pride" for Quebecers.


But for me it is source of shame and misfortune that such a bill exists so don't speak from all Quebecers.



The rest of the article was about French in Montreal. However lets touch bases on this one. If I am not mistaken there is more allophones and Anglophone students in Montreal then francophone if Madam from PQ is so much fun of referendums lets make a referendums in Montreal on the bill 101 and other language issue to determine what Montréalers want, since population of Montreal differs from the rest of Quebec.


Madam Marois you are so concerned on what people want and what makes them angry , don’t you want to know what residents of Montreal want? If you really mean what you say just push for a referendum on usage of bill 101 in Montreal area. And if there will be no 101 on Montreal area you will not need to worry about French in Montreal any more.

As they say “No bill No problems.”
