The real meaning of the oqlf 😂

(( SO MANY STUFF I FORGOT TO POST BUT DID A WHILE BACK For anyone living in Quebec, you know how we have the office québécois de la langue française. It's really just created for people to enforce French in our everyday lives. As much as I love French, they sometimes go a little too... hardcore. So hardcore they inspect restaurants and verify if there aren't any WORDS that might trigger THE fr Ench. Such as pasta. Or cupcake. People can make complaints and that will make a certain establishment, etc, pay a bill and then they will change by themselves the problematic sentence or word by a cute French traduction :)). Anyway, even some people make funny things out of it. Like Sugar Sammy did. You know it's getting pretty serious when there's the same thing. But for English. ITS SO TRIGGERED THIS OFFICE WAS CREATED IN ORDER TO GET RID OF THE FRENCH OFFICE. THATS HONESTLY SO GLORIOUS ITS 1759 ALL OVER AGAIN :)))))) ))

Brave columnist speaking out against the rich 1% in the world... wait, what? Oh he’s just whining about a push for gender-neutral pronouns? [JDM]

Not to get too political (mostly because we’re too simple-minded), but oh, this gem...

Mais Philippe Couillard refuse de mettre son pantalon (ou sa jupe). [But {the Quebec Premier} refuses to put on his pants (or skirt)]

And um this... 

Ce qui nous mène à la question quiz de l’année: depuis quand la marge mène-t-elle la majorité? [Which brings us to the question of the year: Since when does the minority rule?]

Definitely an interesting question, especially in a city/province/country where rights, laws and debate have never been a simple case of majority rules, especially where culture or language is concerned (nor should they be)... Unless of course this only applies to trans or queer rights. But who could be that oddly un-self-aware?
