There is a very bitter fight over it.
In Quebec the law forces children to go through school in French. A great deal of tech companies have fled and a great deal of innovation in general has fled. No one would move to SV if their children were forced to suffer through school in a complete foreign language.

The companies fled in the 90ies. Not really now. And it's only _public_ education that's in French, and only if neither parent has gone to an English school in Canada.
