Bill 22 vs. "the English" -- A Case of Language Politics.
Townsend, Richard G.
The political styles of various English-speaking groups are contrasted in their resistance to Quebec legislation which declares that French will be the priority language of instruction in the province. Individuals and ad hoc immigrant groups operate conflictively in a distributive arena; English Catholic laymen and school administrators function pragmatically in a regulatory arena; and an English Protestant peak association challenges the redistributive aspects of the new legislation through judicial channels. Implications for the different approaches are suggested. (Author)
