A news article “Montreal-area mayor says she’s received threats over language spat” that
was published on 25th June 2015 by Sidhartha Benerjee of The Canadian Press sought opinions
on whether it was ideal for people to use the English language while in Quebec[ CITATION Ban15 \
l 1033 ]. This was after Caroline St-Hilaire wrote in a Facebook post complaining that she had
been exposed to bullying and hateful insults over an online comment that she had made about a
politician from the opposition party who had used English during council meetings in the city.
The mayor who happens to be the former Bloc Quebecois MP explained on her post that
was published on Tuesday that she was not amused by Robert Myle's insistence on translating
everything that he said in French into English. The mayor seems to be protecting the French
language in her post, but from what was gathered by this newspaper, it is clear that the French
language is not under any serious threat.
