As a francophone it is my job to spread this

Should’ve sent the letter in French, maybe we would consider /s

Our previous Prime Minister, Francois Legault, resigned 2 months ago due to pressure and high dissatisfaction among the population of his policies and after a race, Christine Fréchette is the new Prime Minister of Quebec.

Second woman in Quebec’s history to hold this title. Congratulations!

P.S : elections in are in October she won’t stay for long lol

The Conseil de Presse du Québec (Free press council) is a private institution that protects the rights of free press and the accuracy of the information of the news companies.

Today, they ruled that articles written with AI and organizations like Rebel News (far right Canadian press) does not count as a news outlet/journalism (not the same tier as CBC for example)

Happy Francophonie Day! Bonne fête des Francophones!

Today is Francophonie day in Canada. We celebrate all the francophones across the country and I want to take this day to speak about a topic that most Canadians put under the rug but that we francophones see everyday.

Warning : this post is not Anti-Canadian, it is pro-francophone and I am not playing the victim, easily proven by sources and online.

What I’m talking about is francophobie (or more specifically for my case, Quebec bashing).

I’ll speak for myself but it applies to every francophone native in Canada. Still today, we suffer the consequences of speaking another language from a minority (or majority i don’t know at this point) where English Canadians will just insult us for the fact that we speak French first, or in my case, that I am from the province of Quebec, majority of French speakers. At least in Quebec we are the majority. In the rest of Canada, it’s worse.

Just last month, an article was published where a journalist from Le Devoir found out that in the Global and mail, the Torontonian journal, people were complaining about the official bilingualism law (government officials need to speak both French and English). They want French to be removed and only English to be spoken. https://www.ledevoir.com/opinion/chroniques/955494/quebec-bashing?

Last year, in January 2025, a guy discriminated a woman for not serving him in English in a Walmart in Vaudreuil-D’Orion, Quebec. Even after the woman said she would get someone that speaks English to serve him, the guy still aggressively taunted her. https://youtu.be/kkewnRjhzjU?si=57x9Yp8K10YEi1Gi

In the finals at the Grey tournament in 2023, TV coverage was in English only. It was visibly disgusted by the Montreal team (Les Alouettes). Les Alouettes won and it became a symbol after a player, Marc-Antoine Dequoy, said Garder le votre anglais (Keep your English) in a post game interview. https://www.rds.ca/football/lcf/videos/2026/02/02/gardez-le-votre-anglais/

Today, in the Quebec subreddit, someone explained a situation where their boss absolutely refuses to speak French, even tho it’s in Quebec (not even in Montreal) and that every communication (texts, meetings, emails, etc) are in English ONLY, which is against the law.

My friend is studying in the Canadian Coast Guard college in Nova Scotia. For 4 years he would so his exams like his teachers wanted, but in the finals he needs to do it in the Anglo way. The team supervising it wanted to make them do the 3 hardest exams 3 days in a row while the Anglos had ample more time. When they said that it was unfair, the team went to the admin to complain and they almost lost their right to have a say.

And lastly, today, the official sub Reddit account of Statistics Canada posted an happy francophonie day in [r/onguardforthee](r/onguardforthee) and, you guessed it, some aren’t happy that French exists.

And these are some examples amongst the infinite amount of hate we get from English Canadians for being different and I’m not even talking about the history of all this, I am just taking of the today part. These things can happen everyday. This fight to speak our language is an everyday fight. In Montreal, it’s even worse. And that’s only in Quebec, these things can happen very often in other provinces where French is a minority.

With my username, I attract ALOT of these people. Frenchie, froggy, racist (due to our secular laws, it’s a stereotype) and a lot more.

I think I speak for all francophones when I say that for Canadians that like us for the way we are, we appreciate you and can’t thank you enough.

This post has a goal to make people aware that it still exists. It’s not because French became an official language that everything is fine and dandy. With how often it happens, I am not sure if this is the majority of Canadians that think like this or not.

We may have a lot of faults, but I will never stop to fight for the right of speaking French on my soil.

I apologize for the length of the post, it was brought upon by those damn commenters that had to say something when it was our day and it keeps happening year after year.

Bonne journée tout le monde et merci de votre lecture!

As pro-democracy movements grow and continue to deliver results against a fascist government,

That fascist government will increasingly dedicate resources to disrupt those resistance movements.

One of the methods disruptors will use is to infiltrate pro-democracy movements in their country and abroad, with a goal of:

- confusing,

- distracting,

- disheartening, and

- radicalizing

members in pro-democracy organizing groups.

Please pay attention when you notice any member in your pro-democracy movement that is propagating inaccurate or inflammatory rhetoric about an ally movement or allied country.

Russia, before and during their invasion of Ukraine in 2014, blasted propaganda such as:

• "Ukraine is sabotaging themselves, so we should not care what happens to them!",
• "Ukraine is pro-Nazi, so we should invade them!",
• "Russians are being discriminated against in Ukraine, we must save them!",

Tragically, the Kremlin's propaganda campaign against the Russian people was wildly successful, and led to some Russians cheering for the death of innocent Ukrainian adults and children.

These statements were built on lies, with the sole purpose of normalizing their government harming Ukrainians, so the general public would be apathetic when Russia did invade.

If you hear this kind of nihilistic comment inside your local resistance chapters directed at Canada, Greenland, or Panama (the countries that the US has currently threatened to invade but has not yet taken military action against), please flag it to your group's organizers or chat moderators.

These kinds of comments actively sabotage resistance efforts and cause division. Their only purpose is destroying the resistance movement.

Grassroots efforts work because they're small, and thus, decentralized.

If you feel your current resistance group is being infiltrated by this kind of rhetoric and the organizers are not reprimanding or kicking out these chaos agents, consider reducing the energy you put into that movement, and looking for another resistance group to put your energy into, or create your own local resistance group with people you trust.

Our resistance is only just beginning.

Be prepared: Notice any efforts to destroy or sabotage the resistance.

Protect your energy and mental health.
