Do you support the liberation of Quebec from Anglo-Canadian linguistic fascism and oppression?
Do you support the liberation of Quebec from Anglo-Canadian linguistic fascism and oppression?

No its a meme like scatalan independency
>linguistic fascism
lol.
Hundreds of years of it, in fact
I support the annexation of the western Provinces into le Grand Québec.
Ah yes, I'm sure things would have been much better if France was in control...
Ask the Flemings in France and Belgium about the linguistic rights given by these humanitarian French speakers.
Obviously. I'm tired of western niggers and ontarian chinks.
I wouldn't expect a Swede to understand how important language rights are for minorities. Thank god for 1809.
Are you incapable of reading, Pekka? My point is that the Frenchmen are incredibly hypocritical on this issue. They scream about "Quebec libre!" and yet they've oppressed every single linguistic minority they've gotten their hands on to the point of these languages dying.
>a Swede
Finland was a part of Sweden for 700 years and you still speak Finnish. Now that is what I call hardcore linguistic oppression!!!
>Finland was a part of Sweden for 700 years and you still speak Finnish. Now that is what I call hardcore linguistic oppression!!!
Yeah, but it wasn't the language in administration and you couldn't get higher education in Finnish. And things would have been worse if we'd remained part of Sweden during the age of nationalism, Swedish racial theorists wouldn't have let Finnish language gain status here. Hell svecomans fought tooth and nail against language reforms and that was during a time when they were minority and tsar actively supported Finnish language. Now imagine if we were still part of Sweden, Finnish would be a dying language.
Quebec is already fucked honestly, more indians and chinese will inevitably move there and they only know english, add the anglophone population already living there and french will be done for within a few decades
>But it wasn't the language in administration
As if you could have expected that in any other European country at the time. Seriously do you really think that Sweden was any unique in this regard?
>I wouldn't expect a Swede
Haha nevermind you really do.
>you couldn't get higher education in Finnish
As if people in general could get higher education at all.
>svecomans fought tooth and nail against language reforms
Svecomans were Finnish nationalists.
>tsar actively supported Finnish language.
And why was this? Did he support the Karelian language? No, Karelians had zero language rights and now their language is almost extinct. Did he support Sami, Estonian?
He supported the Finnish language because it would separate Finland from Sweden. Svecomans were opposed this as they felt it would decrease Finland's chances of becoming free from Russian rule.
this, the federal government is deeply entrenched into Quebec, and vice versa thanks to hiring quotas and language requirements for career progression
There he is
Do they really want it?
>Svecomans were Finnish nationalists.
Lol no, they dreamed of return to Swedish rule and hated Finns. Racial theories were big with them, they thought that Finns were uncivilized untermenchen not fit to rule themselves, hence they shouldn't have language rights. Svecomans saw themselves as germanics and a higher race destined to rule over "mongoloid" Finns. Real patriotic fennoswedes were part of fennoman movement who fought for Finns and Finland, not svecomaniacs. How can you be a Finnish nationalist if you see 85 % of population as a slave race?
>He supported the Finnish language because it would separate Finland from Sweden.
And he was right. Were we part of Sweden, Finns would be subjugated language just like svecomans wanted. That the tsar had realpolitik reasons for his support of Finnish language doesn't change the fact that the outcome was good for Finland.
>That the tsar had realpolitik reasons for his support of Finnish language doesn't change the fact that the outcome was good for Finland.
Okay and now explain why you're seething about us Swedes when we haven't done jack shit to your beloved language.
>we haven't done jack shit to your beloved language
That's just it, during Swedish rule Swedes did jack shit to promote our language and during the Grand Duchy period Swedes actively attacked our language. Now I understand the first part, it wasn't in Swedish governmental interests to promote culture of "Österland". Unlike with Svecomaniacs I don't think there was any malice in that. But it is exactly for those reasons 1809 was a good thing for Finland and Finnish language (and for Sweden too imo).
>Swedes did jack shit to promote our language
And? This is not unique to Sweden. Think of the countries that existed at the time and you'll realize that every single one of them were either the same or worse than Sweden.
How did Russia support Karelian? How did France support Breton, Occitan, Flemish? How did England support Welsh and Gaelic? How did Spain support Catalan and Basque language? How did Denmark support Norwegian and Sami? How did Germany support Sorbian?
etc. etc. etc.
>during the Grand Duchy period Swedes actively attacked our language
It was the Finnish aristocracy, not "Swedes". All Finnish nobles spoke Swedish at the time. Finnish wasn't a written language. Hence why they preferred Finnish to Swedish.
>and for Sweden too
In some aspects it was indeed a good thing. If Sweden had kept Finland we would have ended up with something like Belgium and that's not really desirable.
Pre-revolutionary/First Empire had vastly different policies in regards to minorities in France and other cultures in the colonies. That's like blaming Americans for the Opium War.
And who was it that coined the term "vive le quebec libre"? That's right, Charles de Gaulle. Did he live in pre-revolutionary/First Empire France? No he didn't. In fact he ruled France as the destruction of indigenous languages was the most accelerated. And then he goes to Canada and says that their linguistic policies are unacceptable.
What a complete fucking hypocrite, he clearly had no shame in his entire body,
>And?
Like I said I understand why.
>Finnish wasn't a written language.
Finnish had been written language since the middle of 1500's when Mikael Agricola made the Abckiria that was primer for Finnish language and later translated New Testament to Finnish. So long before the Grand Duchy era. The reason Svecomaniacs didn't want to speak Finnish was their insane race theories and want to keep Finland Swedish. There were tons of fennoswede nobles started speaking voluntraily and from patriotic zeal Finnish.
Not sure he coined it, but not a fan of de Gaule either.
Fuck Quebec
Give back Canada to my natives cousins
