Controlling Education in Quebec

English as a second language in the Province of Quebec. Would you not think that was a good idea - within the public school system? Most citizens there seem to agree, according to polls. But, it is not being implemented well, it seems. The teachers union there is opposed to needed improvements in that area, according to recent news reports from that province.

Well, regardless of different opinions on that subject would not that be a good sort of matter for a referendum? Would not that be the sort of question that citizens of a reputed democracy should be allowed a definitive vote upon?

It clearly would be, if they had Direct Democracy rules in Quebec. Of course, we do not have similar rules permitting citizens to have their say in Ontario, either. If they had do you think it would have been possible to have clamped down upon calamitous government indebtedness before it got out of hand - as now seems here to be the case? An awakened, and potentially accountable populace could do a lot to improve our fracturing system, it seems clear to me, at any rate.
