All the little towns and big cities in Quebec were run by the rich English ("‘les mauâ€" dits Anglais"). Only now, through the Siâ€" lent ReÂ¥olution, can we really say that Quebec is biâ€" lingual. Though the French language charter (Bill 101) might seem excessive, it does not seem to be enâ€" forced as much as Minister of State for Cultural Affairs Camille Laurin would like. As for the rest of Canada, I should hardly say that it is being run by francophones.
