Many anglos have nowhere else to turn for information but 2MoPaul. Celebrated local paper The Victory stopped publishing in the ’80s. Under Quebec’s latest French language protection law, Bill 96, the city’s own website is no longer allowed to post any English information because Two Mountains doesn’t have official bilingual status.

No, disappearing in a sea of anglophones would be something like making all arms of government communicate in English, making it illegal to access non-English sites the government has after six months, forcing companies to alter signage at their own cost so it's only in English, declaring non-English speakers and enemy to English-speaking culture, and going out of their way to make non-English documents unavailable unless you want to pay extra for translation services. You know, like Bill 96 is doing for French.

No one cares if Legault prefers French. We care that he wants to strip existing things just to make French the only option.
