Quebec Is "Special"

As one can see:

The Trudeau government will legislate to formally recognize French as the official language of Quebec, La  Presse reported on Monday.

The recognition will be contained in an amendment to Ottawa’s Official Languages Act that will be tabled by Languages Minister Mélanie Joly before the end of the present session of Parliament.

The reason why any country agrees on one or two official languages (as opposed to two hundred) is that such a law would be more unifying and simpler for the populace.

Less than thirty percent of the country speaks French.

But, you know, Quebec is special.

So let those who don't speak French as a rule lie in Canadian French if they swear the "Canada-is-the-best-airport-I've-ever-been-to" oath. They won't speak French for long in a country that is officially balkanised.

Also - Alberta is distinct, too:

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and Conservative leader Erin O’Toole are refusing to be drawn into Alberta’s upcoming referendum on equalization, making it unclear if anyone will be listening when Albertans speak this fall.

For Alberta Premier Jason Kenney, the referendum is a way of highlighting the unfairness of equalization, but for federal leaders it poses a major political headache about how to respond to the vote.

What would Quebec do without that sweet Alberta cash?
