I think if were talking about publicly funded daycare, thus an extension of public schools, that would be one thing. But as far as I know, most people have to pay good money for daycare, so they can send their kid to any daycare centre they damn well please.
I disagree. The government of Canada is bilingual. Public services should, in any case, be both english and french. This is discrimination against anglophones plain and simple. Excluding english private schools or daycares is more acceptable but that's not saying much.
The Government of Canada may be bilingual, but the Gouvernement du Québec is not. Neither are any of the other provincial governments, with the exception of New Brunswick.
As for the daycare, it is not necessarily public. It is mostly private, which is why I said that if people are going to pay good money for daycare, they can choose which daycare they want their kid to go to: English or French.
Public services and schooling are available in English all over Quebec for Quebec's anglophone community, for
real anglophones. Immigrants whom Québec has nominated and welcomed need to learn French. End of story. They may have immigrated to Canada, but they have immigrated to French Canada and so must participate in French Canadian customs like going to French school etc... If they wanted to speak English, they should have gone to Toronto.
