What makes Quebec's Language Law, Bill 101 so sacrosanct?
Consider the following reasons:
Quebec's Bill 101, of 1977, the language law discriminates against the English language which is the language of Canada's MAJORITY, and makes Quebec a JOUAL-only province (French patois). The Supreme Court of Canada has since recognized Bill 101 as LEGAL.
Three years later the province of Saskatchewan also took the step in 1980 of declaring itself to be English-only, but that is now being questioned by the minority Joualophone (French patois-speaking) community of that province who want to take it to the Supreme Court of Canada and have it nullified.
The Province of Alberta in 1988, also passed a law declaring itself to be ENGLISH-only and that law is just as legal as Quebec's Bill 101, which made it a Joual-only province in August 1977.
Since the precedent had already been set by the Supreme Court of Canada's decision in recognizing Quebec's right to pass a LANGUAGE LAW, there should be no reason why the provinces of Saskachewan and Alberta should not have the same rights as the province of Quebec, vis-a-vis Language. Surely what's sauce for the goose is sauce for the gander, is it not?
