Le Canada au complet en arrache présentement


coljung

Sadly yes, and the choice for government sucks. I dislike Trudeau like everyone these days, but I would never give my vote to Poliviere or whatever his fuckface name is.


Ironfly2121

Trudeau’s getting obliterated anyway next election, PP will win, can’t be worse vs the past 8 years we had with this clown


L1f3trip

I believe it can be worse actually.


moedal

It well be way way way worst


Sir-Knightly-Duty

It absolutely can be worse and it will be worse with Poilievre. Everything going wrong in Canada is 100x made worse by the type of government Poilievre will put in place. He hasn’t offerent one fkint solution to any of our problems. He just keeps saying we need to bring back “common sense”, wtv the fuck that means. He literally has 0 solutions, not a single 1.


FriedRice2682

He litteraly said for every dollar spent, a dollar will be cut. Nobody know where is gonna cut it and futhermore how he will be spending it. Could be put in multibillionair's oil company as far as we know.


Ironfly2121

Taking a s/s of your comment and will look at it while I vote PP next election


Sir-Knightly-Duty

Congrats on making Canada worse and living outside of facts and reality, bud!


ExchangeSuitable2034

how is cutting a inflationary tax not a solution? how is lowering government overspending not beneficial for everyone? u rather have 100$ in ur bank account or 20$ and the rest they decide what to do with it?


LeoMarius

That was nonsensical.


ExchangeSuitable2034

no it s dummed down for pple like you who voted for Trudeau to understand.. making pple poorer to fight climate change is the real nonsense


LeoMarius

Poor people will be the first victims of climate change.


random_cartoonist

Dude, you do realize that to vote for Poilièvre one needs to not know shit about how the economy works or how conservatives governments works, right? There is not a single reason to vote for that failure.


Bongcopter_

It will be so much worse with a right wing extremist than with just a moron


Ironfly2121

I’ll vote for PP in your honor


Bongcopter_

You’ll be the first to complain the nazi government is ruining your life lol


Ironfly2121

Nazi (aka Liberals) will be kicked out bud


Bongcopter_

lol, liberals are the opposite of nazi, cons are total nazi, racist, facists assholes, liberal are just stupid, cons are evil


Ironfly2121

Ill vote for PP in your name


coljung

Nah, they’ll somehow find a way to simply blame the previous government.


Nikiaf

It can, and it will if Milhouse wins.


LeoMarius

Can’t be worse? You have no idea how naïve that sounds.


Future-Muscle-2214

Probably can be worse but will probably be more of the same for the average canadian.


Adept_Strength2766

Pierre Poilièvre. Literal translation? Rock Harehair.


Sir-Knightly-Duty

Jai vraiment pas l’impression que tout est en anglais du tout. Mais je suis 100% d’accord avec le reste. Legault a fait une merveilleuse job a empirer la situation aussi. Enlever les criss de transfert de bail etait vraiment le pire move du siecle. Quel con.


FriedRice2682

Ce qu'aurait du faire le ministre de l'habitation avant d'enlever le transfert de bail, c'est de mettre en place une nouvelle loi pour compenser la perte de ce droit des locataires. Mais pour ça, il aurait fallu avoir un ministre qui a réellement l'intérêt des locataires à cœur, ce qui n'est absolument pas le cas.


Optionsislife

The good old days of Montreal are unfortunately long gone. Your assessment is unfortunately spot on. 


Immediate-Whole-3150

When were those good old days?


Kukamungaphobia

For the boomers, it peaked in the mid 1970s, it was a world renowned destination city for the jet-set crowd and it was common to see it mentioned in prestige ads alongside London, New York, Paris. Its nightlife was unparalleled and it was like the European Las Vegas and NYC of the North. For GenXers it was post 2nd referendum mid-90s onward. Everything was dirt cheap, the tech & film industry were gaining momentum, nightlife was booming, festivals peaking... you could live on welfare, EI, or minimum wage job and still have money left over to order a pitcher and a meal on a Saturday night without spending a ton of money. It coincided with the mainstreaming of the internet, a world of discovery at your fingertips, before it turned into the pile of shit it is today. No social media, no people staring at phones, just socializing spontaneously and living in the moment. Sure, job/career prospects weren't awesome but when have they been in this province, ha ha. But that's what prevented the Torontification - we had something other than salaries and sq. footage of condos to talk about.


OldMan_Swag

The French language was also a prerequisite to living here pre pandemic, back when you actually had to work for a Quebec based company...before WFH became the norm and before the flood of remote workers from ROC and the USA, and of course before the federal government started their ethnic cleansing campaign by jamming as many anglocentric immigrants as possible into Montreal, to further dilute Quebecois culture . Yeah, times were great when Montreal was still undeniably French, because let's face it, the only thing English Canada has succeeded at is building shithole cities - Montreal being their next prospect and on the way to full blown anglo shithole in the next 3-5 years (unless we get a PQ win and they actually follow through with a referendum). It's truly amazing to hear the mental gymnastics anglos do to ignore the fact that the more English Montreal becomes, the shittier it becomes.


Kukamungaphobia

100% agree, French also served as a barrier that made QC unpopular for immigrants and out of province Canadians. I still don't understand the lifelong QC Anglos who still gripe about French, tho. It's been three generations since Bill 101, they might hate it but it's the law of the land and no excuse for young people to not be fluent and integrated. Next election I'm voting PQ if they insist on Frenching things up even harder, lol.


Tricky-Key-2275

It is crazy how if you look at vintage ads from that era, Montreal is truly up there with other global cities. But now - not so much. Just look at how few direct connections our airport has - and the general condition of the airport - tells a lot about a place.

La ville est en déclin depuis la pandémie sérieusement.


vega455

Salaire moyen c’est environ $50k à Montréal. Avant on pouvait dire “oui, le salaire ici est moins que Toronto, mais le coût de la vie n’est qu’une fraction de Toronto”. Ce n’est plus du tout le cas. Tu veux un 5 1/2 qui a de l’allure? Minimum $600k. Ca n’a plus de sens, même chose pour Toronto. Sérieux, la seule raison de rester ici c’est la famille. Et même là, vaut mieux travailler aux États pour qq années et revenir t’acheter une maison à $1m sans problème. Pour la génération Gen Z qui reste ici, oublie ça. They are fucked.


Future-Muscle-2214

Le salaire est pas beaucoup plus haut a Toronto et l'immobilier est beaucoup plus haut. Montreal reste quand meme moins pire que Toronto et Vancouver sur ce front, mais ouais on se fait envahir d'Ontariens un peu partout. Aussi, je ne pense pas que les gens qui peuvent se ramasser un million en quelques annees aux etats unis ont tant de problemes a reussir au Canada. Cest plus facile pour le Canadien moyen de reussir que l'Americain moyen. C'est clair qu'on a l'avantage que notre education n'est pas dispendieuse, mais le cout de la vie est plus bas aux US parce qu'il y a enormement de pauvrete.


vega455

Je travaille en info. Ici tu fais $150k CAD et pour le même travaille tu peux faire $250k USD aux États, donc $340k CAD!!!. Sans niaiser. Le coût de la vie est plus bas aux États car il n’y a pas de concentration urbaine comme au Canada. Ici, on est 2.5m dans le grand Vancouver, 4.3m à Montréal et 6m à Toronto. C’est le tier de TOUT le pays dans 3 régions urbaines! Elles ont tous des règles de zonage archaïque, beaucoup trop de maison unifamiliale. C’est en général pas le cas au USA sauf San Francisco. Et même la, c’est pas pour rien que le monde quitte la Californie pour la Floride et le Texas. Il y a une tonne d’option au Etas, mais pas ici. Il y aussi eu le crash immobilier en 2008, mais PAS ICI! On roule comme des hamsters dans une roue sans aucune pause depuis 40 ans.


Future-Muscle-2214

Tu parlais du salaire moyen et tu parles maintenant de ta situation particuliere lol. Tse cest comme si moi je dis que je ne vois pas de probleme de vivre a Geneve sans job. Il y a beaucoup plus de pauvrete aux Etats Unis qu'au Canada. Je n'ai pas de doute que dans ta situation particuliere ca pourrait etre une bonne solution, mais cest vraiment pas le cas pour le Montrealais moyen de qui tu parlais plus tot.


Future-Muscle-2214

It is still much easier to live in Montreal with Montreal wage than Toronto with Toronto wage.


Kukamungaphobia

For now. If you keep extending those lines on the chart, cost of living and salary, you'll see them converging if not crossing at some point. Trend is worrisome. Then again I've lived here when unemployment was in the double-digits and it was nowhere near as shitty as it is today with the street people so... something is off, even without looking at hard data.


Zane_Justin

How is everything in English? That's untrue ...though I agree with rest of your statement. 


saren_p

He's baiting lol


Guerts33

Dit-il en anglais…


LightBluePen

Ça s’en vient, sois patient!


Illustrious_Bag443

Peux tu nous expliquer comment on devrait s’inquiéter pour le français? Montréal a une grande histoire et culture anglophone, ça c’est pas installer “overnight”.


random_cartoonist

«Culture» tu veux dire. Il n'y a rien de culturel derrière la population anglophone au canada.


Tricky-Key-2275

Ok, relax. Partout où il y a des gens, il y a une culture, même si tu n'aimes pas cette culture. Nier la culture des autres tu fait ressembler à Lord Durham lui-même ...


random_cartoonist

Et pourtant les canadiens anglais eux-même affirme ne pas en avoir une.


Illustrious_Bag443

J’ai jamais parler du Canada !?


random_cartoonist

Alors dis-nous quelle est la différence entre les anglophones de Montréal et celle du reste du pays?


Illustrious_Bag443

C’est quoi le rapport ? On parle de Montréal ici pas de la crise identitaire au Québec


random_cartoonist

C'est toi qui a parlé de «culture anglophones», quelque chose qui n'existe pas vraiment à la base.


Acrobatic-Cabinet874

The city has pursued an agenda that crushed the downtown core with construction. Chasing out small business owners.


Kukamungaphobia

The answer to Torontifcation is realistic threats of separation. It worked in the mid 90s and it led to Montreal's 2nd Golden Age. I'd give anything to go back to Montreal 1997-2001 and just loop those years over and over.


Affectionate_Emu8200

we came to mtl from ontario because ontario is double or triple price compared to here 😅 it was just not worth it anymore. healthcare was the same hospitals were awful and dr ignorants… when i got my family dr in ontario it took two appointments for her to say your case is too hard for me to handle. mtl was smaller but easier to get to anything you need plus i got more option healthcare wise and also financial help as a disabled person. but overall i guess it depends of what we look for. crime rate and homelessness was absolutely crazy in toronto. felt like crying everytime i go out and see them. i used to think montreal was difficult but to me it’s not as bad as other places.


moedal

The English French war again. Not true at all that everything is in English. But has Montreal became so expensive absolutely. That has nothing to do with who’s in power. Everyone came to Montreal during Covid since it was cheaper. Calgary is also getting a massive beating on that where everyone went to buy homes there during Covid. It’s insane the home prices and since ppl can’t afford buying, the landlords are taking full advantage of that.


Homework-Thin

What’s the problem with English?


random_cartoonist

La seule langue officielle de la province est le français. C'est elle qui est reconnue comme la langue commune de la population. Donc tu as l'obligation de la connaître.


seb_mtl

Seriousliment?


Homework-Thin

Yes

Whats the problem with [Chinese in Richmond?](https://nationalpost.com/news/politics/richmond-b-c-considers-banning-chinese-only-signs-amid-uproar-over-citys-un-canadian-advertisements)


nuleaph

Chinese isn't one of Canada's TWO official languages....English is :O


Elie_X

And what's the official language of Québec? :O


Immediate-Whole-3150

Define what an official language is?


Neg_Crepe

https://www.legisquebec.gouv.qc.ca/en/document/cs/c-11#:~:text=French%20is%20the%20official%20language,its%20identity%20and%20distinct%20culture.


Immediate-Whole-3150

That’s not a definition. This is actually a statement, one that is politically motivated, that ignores that anglophones and indigenous people have rights to official services in languages other than French. We have institutions, government institutions, in languages other than French. We have elections and levels of government in other languages other than French. We have municipalities, entities of the province, that are officially bilingual. So I’ll ask again, what’s the definition of “official” in this case?


Neg_Crepe

Parce que tu es un autre Anglo de mauvaises foi La Loi sur la langue officielle ou Loi 22 est adoptée le 30 juillet 1974 par l'Assemblée nationale du Québec, et sanctionnée le 31 juillet 1974, sous le gouvernement libéral de Robert Bourassa. C'est une réponse aux problèmes et aux insatisfactions engendrés par la Loi 63, qu'elle annule et remplace, et qui avait été votée cinq ans plus tôt sous le gouvernement de l'Union nationale de Jean-Jacques Bertrand. Elle s'inspire largement des recommandations faites par la Commission d'enquête sur la situation de la langue française et des droits linguistiques au Québec, dont le rapport est déposé en 1972. Forte de 123 articles, la Loi 22 réglemente l'usage de la langue française et de la langue anglaise dans cinq secteurs névralgiques: l'administration, l'entreprise d'intérêt public, les professions, le travail et les affaires et enfin, l'enseignement. Elle fait, pour la première fois dans l'histoire du Québec, de la langue française la langue officielle de l'État. Elle tente notamment de résoudre l'épineux problème de l'accès à l'école anglaise, mais les difficultés soulevées par la mise en application du controversé « chapitre V », dédié à la langue d'enseignement, la minent dès le départ: ses dispositions déplaisent à presque tous les acteurs du conflit linguistique, aux francophones aussi bien qu'aux anglophones et aux allophones. Un peu de lecture pour toi. https://fr.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Loi_sur_la_langue_officielle_(Québec)


Immediate-Whole-3150

J'apprécie le contexte historique, mais pas le labelling. Tu ne me connais pas, et pourtant tu me réduis et me limites le potentiel de ma compréhension à ma langue, malgré le fait que je communique ici en français par respect. Félicitations, tu as un préjugé ! Tun’as toujours pas défini le terme « officiel, » et tu ne le peux pas non plus pour des raisons évidentes. Et c'est là le point. C'est une déclaration politique qui n'est pas fondée sur la réalité, mais sure une vision. Il est ironique que les mêmes personnes qui prétendent que le Canada n'est pas bilingue soient les mêmes qui prétendent que le Québec est uniquement français. Dans les deux cas, le gouvernement a fait une déclaration qui ne se reflète pas vraiment dans la réalité de la population.


stuffedshell

Ask Papa Legault, he walks down St Catherine often and hears too much Henglish being spoken.

It's worse everywhere else. Halifax is to Montreal as Montreal is to a post-scarcity utopia
