Replying to seszett; You're right, I forgot about Haïti. Don't forget that they are their own country so they are not quite under the same amount of pressure than Québec or other French minorities in NA. Apart from that I don't really see your point; the other francophone territories in NA are mostly France's Territoires d'Outre Mer so of course they wouldn't feel that their French culture is under threat... Let's just say I'm less than convinced by your point here

I was just saying that Quebec is not the only French speaking place in America, nothing more.

>> There are quite a few other French-speaking places in America and most of them are (or see themselves) under no cultural threat.

Well... This reads to me like you're saying something more.

Well I was saying that they don't seem to need bill 101, since you were saying that bill 101 was created to protect the only French speaking group in America.

Québec is not the only French speaking group in America and bill 101 is only a Québec law, that's what I wanted to say. Maybe that wasn't clear.

Well, of all the other places, either they are a) Haiti, which is its own country b) territories of France c) places where French is dying.
