Which people do you think are demanding changes to the language law?
All the people in Quebec interested in french Canadian culture and that can see where Bill 101 (and now Bill 96) are lacking.
What I’m sayin is that there are more urgent matters going on in the US, yet here we are, arguing about Canadian politics.
and how are you enacting said change in the USA by participating in the canadian lemmy community?
I’m saying that people want change and their politicians are busy meddling in foreign affairs.
I’m sure Canadians are a bit irked by American politicians getting involved, no?
So you think that foreign policy should not be up to the head of state but the ministry of foreign affairs (or equivalent) in all countries?
I think that this issue is minor enough to be resolved through other agencies, yes. What I think is not always what is best for everyone though, and I understand it’s a bit self centered to think that my opinion should dictate policy lol.
I just wish things like student debt, bad healthcare under the guise of bleeding edge technology and research, low wages, unemployment, global warming and mass incarceration should be top priority.
Instead they’re arguing over what an entirely different country with a completely different culture and subculture should be doing to accommodate foreign nationals. Yeah it’s shitty that they’re not being inclusive but it’s a bit selfish, no?
Am I being an ass? Sure. I just wish we could focus on more emergent local problems rather than start making a mess out of other countries political systems. I think the “world police” concept is rather overplayed and quite annoying to think of when there is bigger stuff happening at home.
Oh. I see.
