So yeah, it does help getting French versions.


People wouldn't piss all over quebec if it wasn't for the douchebaggery that most french quebecers put the rest of the country through. This new law is a prime example of their childishness. This new law punishes non-french people, that's it, that's all. there's no legitimate reason for this, and it *will* harm retailers.

What about games sold in other countries? Games in other countries are a translated into the language spoken by the people from that country, or are at least multi-lingual -such as in Europe (where games have the option of being played in a number of languages). It wouldn't make much sense in offering a game that isn't in the language spoken in that country, very much like it wouldn't make much sense in selling a book that is written in German to the Chinese.

I don't think you realize that 80% of the people in this province speak French as their first language. Have you considered them? Why should that have to play a game in English, and not French?

"Les jeux unilingues anglais seront toujours offerts s'il n'y a pas de version française équivalente. Qui plus est, rappelons que la plupart des jeux offerts en français sont bilingues, ce qui fait que ceux qui préfèrent jouer dans la langue de Shakespeare ne se sentiront pas trop dépaysés."

I really don't see the problem.

And by the way... If I ever met someone who insulted Quebec(ers), the way Laurent did a few posts ago, you better not say that shit to my face because I will beat the fucking shit out of you.

for real, I am sick of people from the rest of canada treating me like shit cause i come from quebec, I worked with three people from alberta at a job overseas once and they rode my ass for six fucking months about this shit, as if all the problems in the whole fucking country are my fault or something.

All my life i have done what I am supposed to do, i've paid my taxes, i've worked hard and besides some minor drug laws i've never really done anything horribly illegal. Why should i be held responsible for what an entire province or country does just because i happen to be from quebec? It's not like i chose to be from quebec, that's not something you chose.

The rest of canada will not be happy until the day that everyone of us in quebec says that we hate quebec and we love canada. Well, fuck that, cause i'm never gonna do that, I love quebec.

What the rest of canada fails to understand is that it is incredibly important to me to have place where my kids (and their kids) can grow up and speak french and know their culture and history, and really feel like it belongs to them. I will die to protect that. If this means we have to destroy canada to ensure this, then so be it. Quebec belongs to us, i'm never gonna give it up to anyone for anything.

I really agree with this. As I'm getting older, and really surrounding myself with Quebecers and Quebec culture, I have really come to appreciate this place (or perhaps just Montreal). After living in the west for a short period of time, and traveling to places around the world, it was enough for me to understand that this place is special, and has this kind of soul which I don't feel elsewhere.

I am very aware of our shortfalls as a society, but fuck it, I love this place, and I have a deep respect for it. I dunno...I could go on, but whatever.

For all the haters: Suck a big fat French-Canadian dick.

je suis pas du tout d'accord ! qu'on commence par réduire la corruption, faire valoir un modèle capitaliste en parallèle à un socialiste et choisir le plus adéquat dans le lot, faire de meilleur évaluations, ... et l'argent des taxes sera beaucoup plus efficace.

idéologiquement, si on avait un gouvernement transparent et responsable, en me faisais loger et nourrir, je donnerais bien un très grosse partie de mon salaire à celui-ci. je serais prêt à donner de ma liberté pour un système plus proche de la masse, on se rapproche de lui et il se rapprochent de nous.

de toute façon, à quel point est-on libre dans le système du peuple (mais pas pour le peuple) qu'est le capitalisme ?

ya beaucoup de merite dans ce que tu dis, mais moi je croix que chaque fois qu'on depense $2 ou pourait depenser $1 on vient de voler du peuple, c'est tres important qu'on commence a penser comment on peut avoir des systems en place qui sont plus efficase. L'argent qu'on recolte en taxe c'est pour ameliore la vie des citoyens, pas pour enrichir un class de burocrat et politician, le gouvernement existe pour nous autre, on n'existe pas pour le gouvernment.

moi aussi je suis daccord avec dyn, si les gens se rapprocherais un peu sans avoir des idee malefiques en arriere plans et en partageant un but commun de "backer" le peuple (le gouvernement en fait) ceux ci en nombre pourrait finalement colmater les dites lacunes " bureaucratique " sans ames
ni coeur pour le petit peuple , et tourner ca dans une societe de support plutot qu une de cannibale ou les geants prenne largent du gouvernement ( peuple encore ) pour ouvirir des projets de paradis fiscaux ou tout bonnement un jours il mettre la clef dans la porte evec plein de mises a pied et en s'enfuyant avec largent du gouvernement .

la solution est innevitablement un cooperative juste , equitable ET flexible.

Si les recent deboirs du monde financier nous ont apris quelques chose, c'est que le system capitalist n'est pas capable de s'auto reglementer sans tomber dans la corruption. Les seul mecanismes capables de reglementer ce system sont les gouvernements.

"Moins de gouvernement" c'est le refrains que Bush-Harper-Friedman-L'ecole de Chicago nous chante depuis Nixon, et on a bien vue ou ca nous a mené. J'peux pas croire qu'aujourd'hui, ya encore du monde pour claironner ce refrain.

Well, fair for you too, im not here to argue or anything, and it wasnt my purpose to offend anyone really. And no, my point of view about Quebec and all is not really a tought about one, the fact that i dont like Quebec is based on personal feelings only. I dont like quebec the same way i dont like pizza. There is nothing more to it.

I didnt wanted to get political or else. I saw the original post as nothing more than '' some people like or dislike quebec '' .

I understand that people can be passionate and sensitive about the Quebec/french issue. I'm not. Probably i should have abstain myself to post in this thread. I dont wanna hurt anybody elses feelings.

laurent , is it the land , the people , the culture you dont like ?

the fact thats its native land invaded by religion in the first place ?

you prefer the trinidad & tobago culture ? are they any culture you would prefer or have interest in ?

Another thing that Quebec language laws fuck up:

Poker at the casino.

They play Texas Holdem' according to international rules, yet they use a french deck, with Aces, Roi, Dames, Vallet.. who does this hurt? *EVERYONE*, I haven't talked to a single person at the casino who doesn't want the cards to be in English, the dealers, the players, the chefs, everyone. but because of bullshit quebec laws where our "leaders" get to choose what's good for us, we are forced to do things no one wants to do.

bravo.

FYI, most of the people who play poker at the casino are french, but they all want the game to be in english.
