I’ve following the Pastagate situation in Quebec closely. In short, the language police got a complaint about an Italian eatery’s menu being mostly in Italian rather than French and ordered the owner to change the menu to French or face steep fines.

There has been some outrage over this, but it’s mostly of the humourous kind, as though this was funny when it is actually terrifying.

It never ceases to amaze me how the world turns a blind eye to the fact that Quebec is overseen by a totalitarian and xenophobic government that uses fear and oppression to subjugate its citizens.

That Canada allows any of this to happen is no surprise. After all, Canada got a failing grade in human rights from Amnesty International in 2012. If it allows people to be deported to countries where they will be tortured, why would it care that a bloodless genocide is going on within its borders?
