@NicholasCraven_ @herederodepenas Just think Montreal doesn’t produce any big artists that aren’t “alt” to an extent whatever the genre, and the hip-hop alt scene and the mainstream scene don’t crossover much like pop does. Montréal still produces crazy hip hop artists like Tizzo, you and Seinssucrer

Crazy take cause there’s not any frenc rap stars coming out of Montreal either

[Nicholas Craven @NicholasCraven_]

a reason why montreal has never had an international rap star is the language laws that disadvantage english speaking artists in the name of protecting “french culture”

the proof is that montreal has exported numerous non-verbal artists: Kaytranada, A-Trak, Lunice, Freakey! etc.

@NicholasCraven_ @herederodepenas This is true, but also French Rap exists without them necessarily being fluent in English, Quebec, even outside of Montreal is more fluent than France as a whole in English. Just think your argument about English as the only rap language is not valid, even if it is its roots

@BeeBreezey1 @NicholasCraven_ Nah he’s Franco Queb, vive Longueuil

@NicholasCraven_ That’s the equivalent of saying Cinéma is a French art form and that to embrace it everyone must embrace French culture. English has nothing to do with it, rap is a worldwide genre now. Although its history is rooted in black America, it has become an art form like any other.

@NicholasCraven_ @herederodepenas Yet again, Quebec has higher English proficiency than any of these countries, has Anglo universities, public schools and distinctively Anglo hospitals. Montreal can foster an Indie/alt scene but not one for rap? bill 101 is just a scapegoat

@zachregnier If every organization that received public funding were semi-private, then Evenko would be a semi-private company

@zachregnier Literally a non profit created for this exact reason 😭 it’s not a Quebec thing, Factor exists for non Franco music

@thegallicshrugs @SUJUSHlDAE_ Generally speaking changing your last name at all is not allowed in Quebec

I already voted but this would’ve genuinely changed my vote

[Paul St-Pierre Plamondon @PaulPlamondon]

Le Parti Québécois veut mettre en valeur et faire rayonner les langues autochtones.

En cette Journée nationale de la vérité et de la réconciliation, rappelons-nous que notre responsabilité est aussi de bâtir l’avenir.

À travers les rencontres que Pascal Paradis et moi avons tenues avec différents chefs dans les derniers mois, nous avons pris acte de l'importance de refonder sur les bases du respect et du dialogue la relation avec les nations autochtones.

C’est dans cet esprit qu’un gouvernement du Parti Québécois va consulter les Premières Nations afin d’élaborer un plan visant à renforcer la vitalité des langues autochtones partout sur le territoire québécois, notamment en proposant de développer une offre de cours de langues et cultures autochtones dans l'enseignement primaire et secondaire représentatifs des réalités autochtones actuelles et locales.

Nous nous engageons également à soutenir le développement de la Maison des savoirs, premier établissement d’enseignement universitaire par et pour les peuples autochtones.

La nation québécoise et les Premières Nations et Inuit partagent la même volonté de protéger et de promouvoir leurs droits, leurs langues et leurs cultures. Les engagements que nous prenons aujourd’hui favoriseront la compréhension mutuelle et la coconstruction nécessaires à une relation basée sur le respect avec les Premières Nations et Inuit.

La pérennité des langues et cultures autochtones sera au coeur de nos engagements les générations futures puissent continuer de les faire vivre et rayonner pleinement.

Fuck it, writing a book, 20 pages in, still haven’t shat yet

[Justine Peres Smith @redroomrantings]

As an anglophone who is pro-sovereignty (with some major caveats), I don't particularly enjoy being lumped in with all anglos who believe we are a unilateral voting block who would never consider an independent Quebec.

[ONLINE PERSONA (2019 ARCHIVE) @eloaaloha]

@zachregnier Maybe independence is a left stance or something idk

[ONLINE PERSONA (2019 ARCHIVE) @eloaaloha]

Canadian leftists assuming QS is evil cause separatists … what if independence is kinda just… left?

[J.u.D. @judexperience]

Le problème de PSPP c'est que sa vision d'un Québec souverain est incompatible avec la partie de la population la plus sympathique à sa cause...

[ONLINE PERSONA (2019 ARCHIVE) @eloaaloha]

@zachregnier So are privatized crown corporations. The obligation is much more than just statements in both languages, it’s also providing service and work environment of equal quality for both languages. But if even the GG doesn’t speak a lick I don’t see why they’d expect corps to do so
