Here we go again.

Québec premier François Legault is looking to aggravate the language situation yet again. Details here:

The second article's headline invoking the word "reforms" is a horrible word choice for describing this idea.

So much for peace within Québec in particular and Canada in general...and we should have expected as much from the CAQ.
