THEGAMER VIDEO OF THE DAY Bill 96 allows the Quebec provincial government to “enhance the use of French in all areas of Quebec life”. It amends the Quebec constitution to make French “Quebec’s only official language” and essentially gives young immigrants six months to learn French. For the first six months, immigrants will receive communication in English, but after that, everything changes to French. This is a problem for many industries in Quebec, but it is particularly problematic for the toy industry. Speaking to CBC, a game developer named Remy said that English is the default language of the toy industry and that having to learn French has made him and others think of jobs in other Canadian provinces. “You see it already, with some people looking at Bill 96 and saying, ‘Okay, it’s time to pack up and leave,’” said Remy, who uses a pseudonym to avoid retaliation. they will move here, they will be anxious and they will think that it is just not worth staying here “. Osama Dorias, a Montreal-based game designer who also teaches at Dawson College, also criticized Bill 96 and warned that the exit of Montreal-based game developers had just begun. “Now [those job seekers] “They are just looking elsewhere and I do not blame them,” he said. “It will be very difficult for us to compete globally.” Dorias told CBC he was recommending his city to graduates and international students who wanted to enter the toy industry, but no longer. Many foreign students are already learning English as a second language, according to an open letter from 138 Quebec technology leaders, and learning French in just six months is likely to deter job seekers from even thinking about the countryside. “We really have a presence, a global presence as a leader in video games,” Dorias added, “and we throw it all away.” Next: Pride Month Options: I love how LGBTQ + friendly Star Trek Fandom is
