This is Josh in Quebec, a charter member of a new group called Anglos who Support French Rights in Ontario.

Your stingy behaviour toward Ontario’s French-speaking population is causing anger and hurt here in your neighbouring province.

By dumping Ontario’s French Language Commissioner and cancelling plans for a French university, you’ve become a cause célèbre in Quebec — and no, that doesn’t mean you’re a celebrity.

A Le Devoir headline said “Doug Ford sacrifices Ontario francophones.”Le Journal de Montréal called it a “sad day.”

The Montreal Gazette denounced “A bitter setback to Franco–Ontarians,” while Ottawa’s Le Droit called it a “black day for francos.”

Cleverest was La Presse columnist Patrick Lagacé, who wrote his column entirely in English — to make sure he got through to Ontarians and their English media how much this issue means to francophones everywhere.
