This might annoy my Quebec anglophone friends, but if we look at the figures, we can see that much more money is spent in support of francophones outside of Quebec than for the Quebec anglophones. This is blatantly obvious. To my colleague's answer, let me add that the problems that Quebec anglophones have have little to do with losing their language. They have more to do with the vitality of communities. Of course, I mean the communities outside Montreal whose living conditions are in many ways quite similar to those of many francophone communities outside Quebec. We hear about faltering institutions, an aging population, and the erosion of the economic foundations that had sustained these communities for a very long period of time. Besides, there is an increasing exchange of best practices going on between francophones outside Quebec and anglophones outside Montreal in Quebec.
