The new religious and language laws violate their own constitution’s discrimination clauses and were passed with the notwithstanding clause already triggered. I thought language rights were not subject to notwithstanding and we’ll see how court challenges go. I have not paid close attention as my personal solution was leaving Quebec to minimize risk.

Good place if you’re fluent in French or single and willing to learn. Not so good otherwise.

> single and willing to learn

Do you say this because of the time commitment in learning french or because Montreal is a fun city to be single?

In a way, both. Odds are, if you settle down it will be with a francophone so there’s no problems with what schools kids can attend (if they appear). The problem with non-single, non-French is that the partner can’t easily work and any kids must attend French school.
