Re: A fight against Amazon becomes a state matter in Quebec
#2Damn it! I live in Quebec, this province makes everything extremely complicated and then wonders why most companies don't want to deal with them and most people leave.
Went to buy insurance, couldn't because ToS lists countries couldn't do business with includes, Sadi, Iran, Iraq and Quebec.
Most Canadian's know to live in this province only if you can maximize the gains from it. Buying a first time house, starting a family, and or immigrating to Canada.

It's not clear to me how creating a directory of local online businesses in any way makes anything "extremely complicated"

> first step
It starts with this and then could become if you're not apart of the list you're going to have "more problems".
What other province is doing this? In my opinion this makes it more complicated already.
It always starts with a first step, Bill 101 exists to protect the French culture. Now people actively use it as an exploit against companies.
I've known people who use Bill 101 to have documents provided in French just because they didn't like what the company was doing and for no other reason than to make them have to do it.

It's not. In fact, this initiative is laughed at by most people here (in QC) as it is mostly exactly the same thing that "La toile du Québec" was 20 years ago. The government (and a few not very liked but well connected people) thaught it would be a way for people to get infos and to buy local. It's not very good.
The parent just wants to brightly shine his anti-quebec bias.

Of all the unintended/bad consequences of bill 101, I’m not sure about this one. Maybe you witnessed something but I’d be surprised if that was a regular thing. Also, depending on the context this could be a very legitimate request; how is anyone supposed to know the intent of someone asking for a translation?

Multiple different times, different companies, different people and knowing the intent because they either told me point blank or I asked.

Think what way? That Bill 101 exists to protect the culture or that people actively exploit it?

Yes I understand that you know the intent; but are you suggesting that we shouldn't mandate businesses to hand out some documents in French because a few people you know are assholes? Do you realize that there is a reason that this law exists and that people could legitimately want to ask for documents in French?
