Une barrière tarifaire, selon Washington | La loi 96 sur le français, « c’est non négociable », dit Legault

La loi 96 du gouvernement Legault apparaît sur l’écran radar des Américains, qui la considèrent maintenant comme une barrière tarifaire à l’approche de l’annonce potentielle de droits de douane tous azimuts. Mais la défense du français, « c’est non négociable », tranche François Legault.

    Americans never change, huh? It’s 1774 all over again (in which Americans got so salty about people speaking French that it contributed to them choosing revolution) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quebec_Act

      In a recent article published in The Atlantic magazine, (American military historian Eliot) Cohen used a tongue-in-cheek approach to warn Americans against invading Canada, pointing out that previous attempts led to dismal results.

      His review of American military failures starts in 1775, when U.S. troops invaded Quebec, where they distributed pamphlets — translated into French — awkwardly declaring: “You have been conquered into liberty.” The campaign ended in disastrous defeat for the American Continental Army in December 1775.
