Sure, When the PQ Does it - It's Bad
Ooh. The Globe & Mail is really steamed now!

"Sovereignty through the back door - that is the purpose of creating Quebec citizenship. With the exceptions noted above, only those with proficiency in French would be entitled to full rights. Everyone else would be sent to the back of the bus. This is a very low road to the political high ground."
Yeah, yeah. You should come to Ottawa and try to get a job in the Federal Civil Service if you can't speak French, dudes. Not that you actually need to speak it to do your job. Ever. Still, if you do manage to get in as a unilingual Anglo, the Government will spend thousands training you to learn French. anyway. Thousands. Thousands and thousands and thousands.
Especially if you're one of those higher-ups who already makes really good coin. Receptionists, etc, come in bilingual, of course, or they don't get hired.
Or try getting hired by a Catholic school board in Ontario if you aren't Catholic - even though you've got a valid teaching certificate and you're... a good girl... and everything.
Let's see.... Oh yeah - ever notice that all our Prime Ministers are men? (Except for the one who ruined everything - Kim Campbell. And I've heard she was half man, anyway.)
And look at the three Holy Roller Premier contestants in the latest provincial election here in Ontario. One of them was so spectacularly incompetent, he didn't even win his own seat.
But he WAS a middle-aged Christian white man, at least. And it's not like he'd need an abortion any time soon, which is a good thing because in the Premier's own riding of Ottawa, there's a six-week wait involved that pretty much means the difference between abortion rights and... well... it's too late for abortion rights, honey.
Say, remember all three parties going nutsofacto about Muslim Women!! voting veiled and how the New Conservative Government of Canada engaged in a witchhunt against that Elections Canada guy to distract the media from its political advertising scandal and then everybody forgot about it and went back to saying how Stephane Dion blows chunks as Leader of the Liberal Party of Canada?
Even though he didn't, really. At least not until he decided to prop up that Gawddamned Awful New Conservative Government of Canada? (Dion accent and the real reason why he won't ever get elected Prime Minister mockery alert!) "Da T'rone Speech be h'okay for da Canadien until h'I 'ave da better chance da win da Leadership of Da Liberals, er, da bigger picture election."
I dunno. Is the PQ really that bad? Or is it just, you know, louder and dumber than the rest of politics in this country.
Except out in Alberta, of course. Politics can't get louder and dumber'n that, I don't think. Except in the U.S. And who's the biggest fan of Republican American politics up here in Canada? Why, Stephen Harper and his New Conservative Government of Canada.
Which... I dunno... almost makes plan old regular Canadians who voted for him worse than the P.Q. - I think.
