Being a bilingual (anglo > franco) Quebecer, I guess this is my flag now.

The #Senate has voted overwhelmingly to adopt Bill C-13, an overhaul of the #OfficialLanguagesAct that has caused anger and sparked concern among #Quebec #Anglophones, one of the communities the law is intended to protect.
The #UpperHouse rejected a proposed amendment – backed by Quebec #Senators #TonyLoffreda and #JudithSeidman – that would have removed references to Quebec’s #CharterOfTheFrenchLanguage, commonly known as #Bill101, from #BillC13.

Bill C-13: Senate passes federal language bill despite opposition from Quebec anglophones

The Quebec Community Groups Network says it’s “deeply disappointed” by the adoption of the federal law, which includes references to Bill 101, as modified by Bill 96.

I'm all about promotion of bilingualism in Canada. I'm not bilingual. The recent Census showed there was a decline in French within Canada. So is Bill C-13 amending the Official Languages Act meant to equal the playing field, especially for business, or is this a political ploy to save Liberal votes in Québec?

Robert Libman: Ottawa's new language law is troubling for Quebec anglos

Undermining official languages policy by protecting one linguistic minority in Canada and abandoning the linguistic minority in Quebec is shameful.
