@lewlepton@mastodon.social edit : turns out it’s just the kind of website I’m using. If anything safari gives a better autonomy

Huh what??

Here is a #lifeprotip : have a small decision with no significant consequences to make? Flip a coin, go on wheel decide, whatever. It doesn't really matter what is the result. If you don't like the result of the coin, do the opposite option, if you're happy about the result, do it. It may seem stupid, but it tricks you into doing what you really want. #lifeprotips

Have you seen a spike in your battery autonomy since using #vivaldi . 9 hours like that never happened at all. @lewlepton@mastodon.social what do you think

Hmm yummy #fedifood

Deregulate cannabis production now

This is batshit crazy.
Of course the French language must be protected, but to ban people from choosing to pursue higher education in English is authoritarian and pointless.

Francophones only want to pursue cégep in English because they lacked the opportunity to pursue immersive learning in high school.
They only want to be bilingual. And of course, once you learn a language you don’t lose your other, so francophones going to English cégep won’t be “assimilated”

It will only drive people out of this province, pursuing higher education in Ontario or other English speaking provinces, and they might even stay, because they found a job there, the requirements in Quebec are different and they can’t go back, or they have all their friends there, their partner. It would be an economic disaster and will likely make the French language situation worse, not better.

Also, it’s pretty ironic coming from a government that is pledging to protect academic liberty (from teachers saying the n word)

Ça n’as pas de bon sens, bien sûr le français doit être protégé au Québec, mais le fait d’interdit l’enseignement en anglais est autoritaire et inutile.

Les francophones veulent aller au cégep en anglais parce qu’ils n’ont jamais eu l’opportunité d’apprendre l’anglais réellement, de façon immersive, dans leur parcours scolaire, ils veulent seulement être bilingue. Et on ne perds pas sa langue natale une fois qu’on en a apprise une nouvelle.

Tout ce que ça va faire, c’est un exode vers l’Ontario et les autres provinces anglophones du Canada. Ces québécois vont probablement très bien rester la bas. C’est probablement là bas qu’il vont rester car la formation sur place leur préparent pour le marché du travail de la bas, vont trouver leur partenaire la bas, etc. Tout cela va réduire le nombre de francophones au Québec.

C’est aussi vraiment ironique d’un gouvernement qui se dit pour la liberté académique.
