There are many cultures around the world that are suppressed by majoritarianism. They have to face challenges like forced assimilation, language discrimination and refusal to acknowledgement of their unique identity. In fact, many cultures have been identified by UNESCO, that will soon cease to exist - either that they’re vulnerable, or completely extinct. How do you, as a minority, feel, knowing that your entire identity will cease to exist in a few decades? Do you have a sense of camaraderie towards other minorities from other parts of the world, say, the Ainu people, or the Brahui pastoralist?
Do you choose market mechanisms everywhere or only where it gives your side advantage?
Also one would think that job requirements are a result of market demand too.
And if it’s state jobs, then that’s because people you work for speak English or French, and you have to be able to communicate with them in either English or French if they so desire.
Funny because Quebec people love French requirements because it’s their advantage. That’s why he won’t entertain the thought experiment of having to learn Ukrainian, because he has no advantage there. If I spoke Ukrainian, uni or bilingual, advantage or not, I know it would be bonkers to force Ukrainian on the rest of the country.
No, the job requirements are because French is forced onto the country. It’s artificial. That’s the whole point.
There are very very very few French speakers West of Quebec. So no there are very very very few French customers if we call it that. The demand isn’t there. Again it’s artificial. That’s the whole point of what I’m saying. It’s an artificial construct.
As I said at the start, in BC there’s more market demand for Mandarin than French, uni and bi. But the freaking premier got crucified simply for pointing that out.
Nor is it just government jobs as I said. It’s all jobs, in every field, even school applications, it’s everywhere. All artificial.
Really I covered everything you just asked. You’re just ignoring it, so if you continue on ignoring I’m not going to bother responding.
Which is the same as demand.
I’m sad to say it, but you have reading comprehension problems. Maybe that’s my bad English, but not sure I could take complaints in that regard seriously here.
What? In BC the demand is for Mandarin. There is no demand for French. But French is the language that’s required in many positions in BC. I have no idea what you’re trying to say. Ditto for your second part.
