It's just, you know. Quebec is the product of colonialism as well. Perhaps they should let this one slide. Let Mary Simon give all her public addresses in Inuktitut if that will make it seem more fair.

I agree completely.

From what I understand, they have a different point of view: Quebec won concessions by surrendering to the British, and they see those concessions being eroded.

When it comes to a ceremonial position that is otherwise ignored, it would look way better to concede and take the L. But I think they're afraid this is a slippery slope.
