I’m not a huge fan of the limits and methodology Quebec places on which cultures to protect and how, but calling language laws a trade barrier is like calling physics a manufacturing barrier
I’m sure there’s a bunch of Germans that speak english but I’d feel like an idiot if I tried to sell them products that weren’t in their language
A historical point
In the 80s Lee Iacocca (CEO of Chrysler) complained about the trade imbalance with Japan not buying US cars. He wanted tariffs to punish them.
Japan drives on the opposite side of the road (left side) from the US (right hand) and the US wasn’t building cars for left hand traffic.
And I feel like not taken seriously as a french customer everytime I have to spin a product twice in my hands before finding french mentions. That and packaging design for international standard rather than my own country’s. I want french standard two-people bed sheet not convert king size to cm to compare it to the measurement of my standard bed. I want my eggs in multiple of 6. Is that so hard?
Ça va être beau a voir dans les communautés autres que le Québec ces articles la…
I’m going to Montreal on vacation in July. Please don’t ruin this for me, Trump.
Most Canadians will be nice to you unless you wear Maga shit or verbally bash them.
Hockey teams are important too. No Boston Bruins crap allowed in Montreal. (You can still make fun of the Montreal Canadiens missing the playoffs 🤞)
I speak a bit of French so that should help, I hope.
I’m a Blue Jackets fan. I think it’s mostly down to us, the Canadiens, and the Rangers for the last playoff spot.
Hey! As of yesterday we’re back in! Barely but hope is hope!
lol I saw that as I was typing, I had to edit things
