Remember, most of us here in Canada are immigrants… I work a lot in Native towns throughout Québec and realized that they were here for thousands of years. Are we just scared ?

I complain sometimes about driving in Montreal but I was driving around the GTA last month and holy s***t it's bonkers. It really has become some third world type shit in certain areas over there. In general there's things to complain about in Montreal to be sure - including on the immigration front - but IMO we're far better off than all the other big Canadian cities. You can't really get by in Québec city if you don't speak French but if you want to be in a Canadian city and avoid all _this_ kind of stuff then Québec city is the real ticket.

Québecois here. I cant wait for the AI french audio track to send this to my father. I keep telling him about how Canada is f***ed by immigration just like France and UK but he dont believe me. I explain to him that's because of the 101 law that make difficult for non-french speaker to come in Québec. Almost like a law for the preservation of the language and culture is a good thing.

Canada is fcked. Brampton is lost and to these scammers who just jump the border from Québec

3:50 !!!! 😮😱😱 Même chose avec le Dollarama ICI au Québec !! Sauf que ce je sont pas des Indien !! Mais des RATP (Religion dAmour eT de Paix)

Ça peut bien être le bordel aux Québec vivre les libéraux il détruit Leur propre pays en plus du Québec qu'il ont détruit

Good I live in Québec and they don’t speak English so they can’t come here 😛

Québec is the only province that still feels like its former self since Indians don’t speak French, unlike other provinces, which lack a backbone and only care about money

Discuting! There is family who were in Québec for 2-3 years and learn french, have a job and there children go to school and now are afraid to be deported! It is unfair because they were in a program who said that come to Canada and you will have citizenship if you adapt to our country. We change the rules in middle of the program!!! Those people left everything to come to our country! It's an honor for us that they choose to come here. We need people for specific jobs and send them back??? That is looking like Trump manner!!! We should be angry and ashame of the way liberal treat those people!!! We live in a really crual world! Where are our humanity and empathy??? There is a lot of good people who come here to have a good life and be good citizens. I met an young woman from Ukraine and I said to her: I love Ukraine! She jump in my arms and put her head in my shoulder!!! That is a moment I will never forget...

We can boycott american product cut hydro Québec elictricity

Well done Quebec! Vive le Québec vital et libre. Our country has sold us out our political class has completely betrayed us. It's time to restore ourselves as masters of our own destiny in this beautiful land of ours. Je suis très hureux d'entendre ces actualites de ca. Bon travail mes amis! Amour de tes frères à l'Alberta! Laissons nous créer un avenir nous aurons fierté dans nos mêmes encores. Excuse mon français mauvais j'ai besoin plus pratiquer. Je suis si content. Vous m'avez donné espoirs pour l'avenir de nos pays! 😭😭🥰🥰

Thank God. As an American in Québec who is fluent in French, these kind of policies were turning this unique province into another boring and culture-less Ontario. Adios and au revoir. Québec needs to entirely focus on francophone immigration. MOST of these « English speakers » in the « important » industries he is talking about are NOT native English speakers. Go somewhere else where French has not existed for the past 400 years if you do not speak French. Not just immigration fatigue but globalization fatigue.

Québec realized too much is too much.

Governments need to start thinking what to do when AI replaces most workers. Hundreds of thousands of people will be unemployed and this will happen sooner than we can imagine. Québec may need immigrants in the very short term, but it will need to deal with mass unemployment in 3 years from now, being very optimistic. Immigration in the AI era needs to be rethought. Being an immigrant myself, I advocate for skilled immigration, but we are on the brink of a social disruption. It's time to take it slow.

Ce sont les politiques de Trudeau qui ont mis le Québec dans la 💩.

From Québec 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

And when Québec says : no cop/judge shall wear religious signs while in uniform ? ( law 21 ) Brampton mayor calls us racist and furthur more , he will use Brampton's tax money to fight a law that is only valid in Québec ! ( can someone tell Mr Brown that Brampton is not in Québec ? )

Québec. French people. Bill 101. French Civil Code legal system. No burqas permitted. Québec City has final say on all immigration to Québec, not Ottawa.

That’s why we have bill 21 in Québec.

Ils sont tous entassés au Québec Ils prient dans les rues de Montréal. Ils ont tout les priorités. Mais toi qui est née ici tu passe en deuxième. Priorité a l intégrations pour qu ils puissent être bien dans leurs peaux!!!!! Déportation Criss! On ouvre des piquerie pour qu’il puisse se piquer. Résultats plein de zombies qui se chie dans leur pantalon et qui jette leur caleçon plein de marde partout. Dans les bosquets , les parc public, dans les stationnements, dans les escaliers résidentiels Y a pas un endroit où te fait pas demander de l argent! Et avec agressivité. Déportation

There are a lot of issues around immigration. Firstly, the IRCC filters receiving low skilled people, second most of them are located on main cities and provinces, most of the country is empty and finally if you are gonna keep your traditions here, do it inside your four walls. I begin to understand why Québec is willing to be independent.

Canadians have always think Québec has bad people those french now you know you are wrong 😂

Americans take note. \nCanada has a small population. It is a trading nation. Canada does not pretend to other countries that it is a friend while behaving in treacherous ways. Your minions and hypocrites, Vice President James David Vance and Senator Lindsey Graham should also take note. \nCanada and the United States have been trading with each other for over 170 years. Circumstances and proximity made Canada rely on trading with its neighbour, the USA. In 2024, 75.9% of Canada's total exports went to the United States. \nWas it convenience or laziness that made it so, or Canadians’ trust in America being a fair partner? \nPresident Donald J Trump, you have insulted Canadians and the whole United States will harvest the consequences. \nYou had negotiated the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA) to replace the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) calling USMCA the best deal, and recently you called your deal the worst deal. \nYou can be the Manchurian Candidate as much as you want. You seek to destroy Canada. Go ahead, do your worst. Keep being manipulated by the Putin and Musk of the world. \nThis is the last time you will use this closeness between Canada and the USA to hurt Canada this way. Does not matter how long it will take, Canada will diversify its trading practice to foolproof itself from future fools like you, elected to the oval office. \nNeighbours, Canadians will remain, there is no way of moving Canada to a different place on this planet’s map. Canada may remain an economic partner, but a close friend, you can forget it. \nThere is a motto on the licence plates of vehicles of Québec (in case you might not know Donald, it is a province of Canada, not part of your fantasy 51st state). Since 1978 the motto says: “Je me souviens”. In English it translates into “I remember”. Canadians will remember what America is doing to them.

United, until Québec can become it's own country and Alberta become the 51st state. ?

I have immense compassion for the non magas of the United states of America. From Montréal, Québec.

Now, do you understand why Québec is more restrictive with immigration laws and rules??? It's far from perfect here, but I find the situation from this point of view a lot better.

I am Québécois, and things here are quite different from the rest of Canada. For example, we have a law here that clearly forbids wearing religious signs when in a position of authority. Even a teacher, because they are a figure of authority for their students, could not wear the Roman collar, a cassock, a hijab, a niqab or anything else of the sort while in school. In the streets or any other public place, there is no problem at all. Everyone is welcomed to express their difference of culture or religion in the way they dress or in whatever other way. They are treated with the same respect and kindness as anywhere else in Canada. It is only that the separation of religion and state, and religion and authority is paramount here. Everybody is free and can express themsleves freely. But don't use that freedom to impose your views onto others. \nSo, when American judges are chosen for the federal court specifically because of their christian fundamentalist biases, it doesn't resonate well at all for me or the majority of Québécois. When the rights of the LGBTQ+ community are being questioned or jeopardised. Or a previous federal judgement like Roe v Wade is being overturned for religious reasons... it is a definite turn off for all of the Québec people to even remotely consider the United States as a destination to emigrate to (supposing that one would want to leave our beautiful country).\nMore and more, America, that used to be recognized as the land of the free, appears to be retrograde and restrictive and definitely not so free.

Au Québec aussi c'est un invasion

Comme au Québec ils viennent prend tout ce qu'ont a construit c'est un invasion

Here in Québec I have two doctors, a GP and a psychiatrist and it doesn't cost me anything to see one.

We have A LOT of social programs here, many that are native to Québec and that the NDP has been trying to copy at the federal level, such as daycare, insurance for medication, dental care,etc.

After having moved from my birth province of Ontario to Québec (2years), I moved back in Ontario because Eastern Ontario ( Ottawa) is the best place and more affordable to live. You pay alot more taxe in Québec.

Important rule if you want to live in the province of Québec, learn to speak a minimum of french language. The majority of people speak french outside of Montréal

I remember a few years ago, Canadians were celebrating their 150th anniversary of the founding of the country... my work colleagues were very happy, proud... and me... well, I just told them that my capital ( Québec) had just celebrated its 400th anniversary of founding... It was a moment of total cognitive dissonance, the absolute incomprehension in their faces... ''how, why, well let's see it's impossible''... I kindly told them reminded that my state existed long before Canada, that he had never signed their constitution and that one day we would be gone. Obviously everything in English, because if I speak English, they well... they know how to say ''hello''. Canadians are good people, polite, kind, values ​​similar to the values ​​of Québécois, but they have a vision of their history and their role in this history that is so partial, romanticized that it becomes sad, especially since they draw from it an unbearable feeling of superiority. And by digging a little, we hit the limits of politeness, kindness and companionship because if Canadians like the telling of their history, they clearly do not like being reminded that Quebec was founded 250 years before the Canada and that Québécois have not joined in joy and good humor in the great Canadian adventure and that even if we are Westerners like them, we do not share their guilt in terms of the treatment of natives and other Asian immigrants nor again their strange attachment to the British crown. As Mr. Tremblay points out so well, Québécois and Canadians are much more like neighbors in a hotel than a family and even if on the surface there are several similarities, in reality, we are total strangers.

I'm from Québec, and no, you don't have to learn french. We will serve you in english, even if it pisses us off

Une raison de plus pour l'indépendance du Québec ?

allez québec tabarnak!

The migrants will find a way into Canada because of the government's weak leadership. I was born and raised in Montréal, Québec, and I am still living there. I work as an employment counselor and many asylum seekers (from Haiti, Guinea, Nigeria, Ghana, Algeria, Morocco, Burkina Faso, Senegal, etc.) come to my office (on average 15 per week). Between July 1, 2023 and June 30, 2024, approximately 300 asylum seekers came to my workplace. An overwhelming majority of them are receiving welfare and living in hotels, at tax payers expense, while homelessness remains an issue in the city. Canadians should be taken care of first!

MutiCULTuralism destroyed this once great country and the current psychopath's psychopath father implemented it and the sociopathic minions, the Canadian electorate, followed blindingly along.\n\nCanada isn't a country but a series of motels. \n\nThe only province looking after its own interests is Québec.

Is it necessary for me to remind everyone that Roxham Road - that Trudeau refused repeatedly to officially close for so many years - is located in... Québec. How convenient is that ! With the catastrophic consequences we should all know. ~~~ I know that local residents were scared : they purchased alarm systems. Is this going to happen again ?!

In Québec, they love asking personal questions and telling others their whole lives. There seem to be different boustany standards here.

In Canada, women and men are equals. Never treat women as inferiors, that's a huge mistake! Also, if you get married in Québec, women keep their family name.

Vive le Québec libre -charls de Gaule

Free Québec !

As a Québecois, the Québec glazing is insane?

Its generalising..eg not be close to someone or touch Québec is warmer but of course if you know the person

F Y Canada. Vive le Québec libéré du colonialisme anglo-saxon. VLQL

Grow up In the 90s in Québec. Last good time out there. Mass immigration, expensive housing and inflation destroy everything. Happy life in New zealand now.

Canada is so bad, for so long, we in Québec want out.
