The biggest "We told you so" moment I had in the past year was seeing the reversal of the ROC calling us racism to basically adopting our position that quality (value compatibility, economic plus value) and quantity (capacity to receive) in immigration are two important factor to not f*ck up social cohesion.

Quebec would be a economic powerhouse if it weren’t French. One of the many reasons why.

Fewer than 25% of people in Quebec speak French fluently. Less than 1/10 use French as their primary language.

This does not sound remotely close to my experience. According to StatCan, about 6 million out of 8 million have French as a maternal language, and the same is true for the language spoken at home. Even more have French as the "language the most spoken at home".

…Have you ever even been to Quebec? If you go anywhere outside of Montreal, you’re lucky if anyone even speaks english. It’s all heavily French.
Always has been. Well at least in my experience in online gaming with a small portion of French Canadians.
