Things Pauline Marois Wishes She Could Ban

Since Pauline 'Ma Tante' Marois is on an anti-liberty binge-fest, I thought it would be amusing (for me) to think up some other things she could ban if only the law and those pesky minorities weren't in the way.

She's been so obsessed with language it makes me wonder if the PQ have a secret love of English so as to lead to self-loathing.

Each time Marois opens here anti-linguistic mouth I can't help but think of the scenes in A Fish Called Wanda when Wanda (Jamie Lee Curtis) loved to be spoken to in Italian from Otto (Kevin Kline).

Pauline's new slogan: Talk English to me!

Anyway:


- The Internet. Duh. The PQ totally wish they could control Al Gore's invention. Alas, there's is an ambitious dream.

-No English can be spoken in cars with less than one person. This includes not being allowed to listen -to English music. Cheap American culture demeans Quebec culture, bien sur.

-Change Trademark laws so as to make Home Depot; La Maison Depot. Canadian Tire; Pneu Canadien; Michael's; Michel. Pepsi and McDonald's would remain untouched as they are way too embedded in Quebec dining habits. Thank God trademark laws are internationally protected!

-If you're a small, family-run business with more than 3 peopl, you will be compelled to speak French. It's ok to speak your language; just don't let one of snitches hear it!

-Increase their French content 60% in English schools. No big deal or concession.They're being killed off anyway, right? Besides, those Anglo-speakers are so well-treated.

-Blogs must write in French. Bill 23 will ask that bloggers (even those with American audiences) to write in French. She'd be willing to grandfather those with one blog who went to blogging school in English provided they make the English font half the size of the French ones. The Quebec government will not cover the costs of eye care for all the resulting squinting.

- No English pamphlets of any kind. Payback for Eaton's.

-Turn the OLF into an actual government agency as a means to create jobs.
