Can't help but think of beginning FSL learners with this: "On est au" --> two letters "ici" --> six letters = :koko: |

It's no surprise that Père Noël incarnate Jean-Paul Perreault runs the Impératif-français office in the most anglo part of the city. Deep in enemy territory. He usually has a weekly tirade in the local bilingual paper about some fabricated injustice. Meanwhile, everyone here just gets along. I made a joke that he probably lost his fucking mind when the Centre Slush-Puppie was named. |

But it only timidly began to expand francophone education after that. The first francophone high schools in Ontario for example only opened around 1970. I mentioned bans of French schools that most provinces had, and while New Brunswick had one, it was fairly short-lived. I suppose this was due to the province's demographics and the political implications of that. All of my relatives who grew up in New Brunswick (including some who are 80+) did their schooling in French. But except for those from Quebec, all of my other relatives who are over 60 pretty much did their schooling in English in the provinces where they grew up. It's also true of all of my wife's older relatives who grew up in Ontario. With the exception of one who was spotted by a religious order in their youth and sent away to boarding school in a collège classique in Quebec. |

Regulation 17 was implemented in 1912 and affected the first two years of elementary school and limited French instruction to an hour a day. It is effectively repealed in 1927. There were 45 French secondary schools in Ontario in the 1950s. |
Here is some information about that topic. Official apologies from the government of Ontario.
https://news.ontario.ca/en/release/3...nch-in-schools Of course, these apologies has been completely downplayed in the English medias. And the linguistic cleansing has been done, anyway. Ontario Apologizes for 1912 Law on French in Schools Regulation 17 Effectively Banned Public French-Language Education for a Generation Quick Facts The Ontario government stopped enforcing Regulation 17 after 1927, but it remained formally in effect until 1944. In 1984, Ontario officially recognized the right of all Francophones to receive French-language education in elementary and secondary schools. Francophones gained full and exclusive governance of nearly all French-language schools in Ontario in 1998. (Do you realize? 1998 !!!) Ontario is home to nearly 612,000 Francophones — the largest population in Canada outside of Quebec. In 2015, Ontario celebrated 400 years of Francophone presence in the province. |
