I grew up going to school in French, in an area of New Brunswick that's roughly 50/50 Anglo/Franco. I relate a lot to what Fontaine has to say in this interview about how education is vital to linguistic and cultural survival.

On a related note, I find it's a pity there's not more solidarity in regards to Indigenous language rights from minority Francophone communities. You'd think we'd empathize with their plight, and we could be allies in this fight. Sadly, a lot of people buy into the anti-indigenous rhetoric that permeates Canada.
