I wouldn't say that I necessarily faced discrimination on a personal level, but rather through a group effect. I vividly remember when our French‑speaking platoon was working with an English‑speaking platoon and we were called French frogs and all kinds of things. We could clearly see that we weren't necessarily well accepted in the group. How many times did we hear that we weren't following orders like the others, that our way of thinking was always different and that we weren't following instructions? We always heard this type of comparison between francophones and anglophones. So I would say that I saw this type of discrimination instead.
Aside from that, I've seen it more in the medical field. I've seen the careers of my anglophone colleagues, who didn't necessarily have the proper linguistic profile, advance much faster. We had to wait a bit longer for promotions. We had to accept this and we had no choice if we wanted to advance and move forward. For example, if I had chosen to wait for my career course, I might have waited over two years. No program was available in French.
At a certain point, we have no choice. We must accept it and move forward. We must accept the fact that we have no choice but to live with this, even though things shouldn't be that way.
