You're talking about protecting language and culture in a thread about a small town relying on one guy to translate the government's website because the law forbids the use of their native language.

French speakers are the majority in Québec. This is like a law forbidding Mandarin from being used in Canada and saying there are 3x as many Mandarin speakers in the world than English speakers and the law is required or else we'll all be speaking Mandarin one day.
