Quebec cannot fight this alone, especially when the federal government is actively working *against* it. It is time for Canada to show that it cares about its French culture. This is a real opportunity to prove that the confederation works and that it can help Quebec protect its culture.

>For two years, Quebec has been fighting to update the 2005 UNESCO Convention on cultural diversity. Non-English-speaking countries in the Americas have been pushing in this direction, as have Europeans who are waiting on Canada. However, Canada is going in circles so as not to displease Trump.
>Quebec is blocked at UNESCO and the federal Minister of Culture, Marc Miller, is tired of the debate over the French language. Is there any hope on the horizon? One can doubt it. Yet everything is in place for the minister to hit a home run at UNESCO.
>This could be a way for Canada to show that it is not at the beck and call of Donald Trump, while also acting on behalf of Quebec culture. A grand slam, in the end, that would shut up Quebec nationalists.

Tous ces petits et grands pays de l’Amérique latine sont bien capable de défendre leur culture à l’UNESCO malgré que ça déplaise aux États-Unis, tandis que ce prétendu grand gardien de la culture francophone qu’est le gouvernement fédéral Canadien met des bâtons dans les roues pour ne pas déplaire aux États-Unis.
Disons que ça n’aide vraiment pas l’argument fédéraliste comme quoi le Canada est le seul obstacle à l’assimilation américaine.

After an English-speaking city for the Francophonie conférence, denying that french is under threat, now Ottawa is underminding Québec at UNESCO.
I think that the liberals are trying to lose all of their francophone Québec seats.
