Though Puerto Rico is an autonomous **island** where nearly all public and private buisness, along with education, law, government, etc, is conducted in their language, Spanish. They have high isolation and ''inertia'' in their favor.

We don't have those in Quebec. We already swim / drown in English and all the laws we passed slowed the decline, which is picking up pace again due to catastrohic demographic trends.

Quebec provides full taxpayers funded education in English ( with limits up to Highschool for foreigners, no limit for higher education ).

Provides funding to English language media, provides state services in English, provides healthcare services in English, all of its laws have to be proclaimed in English too with equal standing ( if there is ambiguity between the two versions, the French one dosen't invalidate the English one ), you can get a trial in English, etc. You can get services in English in most buisnesses ( some *only* in English ). Nearly all product information is in English ( bilingual, sometimes French is missing ). People can live their whole lives without speaking French in Quebec. This is a slow death sentence in current demographic situation.

The only thing that prevented French from dying was high ''ethnic Quebecois'' fertility, which collapsed in the 1970's.

Has Lousiana lost its culture? Yes it did.

Is the French part of Maine that has been so since colonisation losing its culture. Yes it is.

Every census French is losing ground to English in Quebec. It would only accelerate if there was free population mouvement with the USA. Just with Canada it's an unmitigated disaster in the border city of Gatineau.

The vast majority of the French are pathologically afraid of ''not being nice'' and will fall over themselevs to speak English if there is a single non-French speaker in the conversation. Strong opposition is anectodal. No culture can survive that with any significant population mobility.

In the hypothetical scenario Quebec would join the USA, it wouldn't take long for Anglophiles to agitate to extend historical privileged for public-funded education in English to all ''fellow Americans''. I love my people and culture. But we are timid cucks.

We already have what we thought was only a thing outside Quebec : ''French language schools'' where students speak English to eachother. Guess where. Montreal, due to population replacement.

When I bring these problems up, the replies I get are inevitably along the lines of ''why do you care what people speak? It's none of your buisness. Language police!''

Yeah why do I care my people is being replaced and the ''newcommers'' are diluting and dissolving my culture to slow death.

I share your sentiment wrt the necessity of Quebec protecting its language and culture.

> The vast majority of the French are pathologically afraid of ''not being nice'' and will fall over themselevs to speak English if there is a single non-French speaker in the conversation.

Not outside of the Montreal area.

> population replacement

Thanks, Canada!

Look, an independent Quebec is better than being in the Canadian federation. No need for the extra layer of bureaucracy.

A Quebec state within the USA (or, sadly, the JSA right now) would still have its own constitution, would be massively beneficial in terms of economy, and would maintain its freedom to secede in the event that the union isn't working out. States are much more sovereign than Provinces.

Which is about 50% of the population of Quebec.

Total agreement that the Canadian federal government is a parasitic layer of corruption.

But ''freedom of mouvement'' is unacceptable.

We can go back to the days showing your drivers' licence at the border was enough though. Back then our societies were higher-trust. You were expected to behave and go back home after your tourism.
