The Quebec government is proposing an increase in tuition fees for international and out-of-province students attending English-language universities as a way to protect the French language.

English is not a ROC thing though, it's a global thing, in an online world. So sure, you can create your French-Canadian pockets on Reddit, Lemmy, QC guilds in MMO's, etc, but you constantly have to step outside of those areas to interact with the rest of the English speaking world.

And French is not a Quebec thing either.

The most spoken language in the world in Mandarin.

You have a very anglocentric view of the world.

Actually, the most spoken language in the world is English.
