    You laugh but the Quebec government attempted to fine an Italian restaurant for having the names of their dishes in Italian, many of which have no French name.

      The Canadian government is pretty weird about that aren’t they?

        Quebec government, specifically. Other provinces only require government services to be provided in both French and English but private businesses can mostly do what they want. Quebec requires private business to be conducted in French unless the customer requests service in a different language. Any non-French text or speech made to a customer before they request it can be seen as a violation. They can be a little overzealous at times.

          What’s the menu like for Indian restaurants in Quebec? Are there French names for Biryani, Paratha, Paneer etc?

            The government eventually said exotic dishes with no French name are allowed as an exception. Looking up menus of Indian places in Montreal shows they have completely Indian names for many of their dishes.

        Nope. The Canadian government just sighs and wishes Quebec wouldn’t be such a problem.

          French is the dominant language in Quebec?

            I’m not sure if this is supposed to be a joke or something, but yes. More than 90% of the people in Quebec speak French. More than 50% speak English, but for most it’s a second language.

              No, it was a genuine question. I did not know It was mainly used as a first language in Quebec. I thought it was a semi-common second laguage for Canadians.

                No, only in Quebec. There’s a bit of French spoken in Ontario (especially on the border with Quebec), and maybe 30% of the population in New Brunswick, but in other provinces it’s not even the second most spoken language.

                For example, Manitoba’s most widely spoken languages are 1M English, 33k Tagalog, 30k Punjabi, 19k German and 15k French.

    I feel like this is fake.

    Two reasons. I was unable to find a video clip of this, and it’s not nearly racist enough for these shit-hawks.

    If some has the clip, please share.

    Edit: 3 reason, we’re also on a shitpost channel.

      Sadly, it doesn’t matter if he said it when it is entirely reasonable to believe that he did. It isn’t the most racist or the stupidest thing this guy has said on national television.

      I mean, third reason, he’s labeled as “Homan” which seems pretty close to Human but just a bit off. And that’s simply too on-the-nose for the topic.

    Thanks, Obama.

    He [Tom Homan] was appointed by President Barack Obama as Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s executive associate director of enforcement and removal operations in 2013.

    In 2015, Obama awarded him a Presidential Rank Award as a Distinguished Executive. A Washington Post article at the time stated, “Thomas Homan deports people. And he’s really good at it.”
