Only Canadian government could manage to pit official bilingualism against access to children\u0027s Tylenol
There’s some of that going around, no question. “It feels like everything is broken in this country right now,” Conservative Leader Pierre PoilievrePlanes aren’t dropping from the sky, are they? But the woe-is-us sentiment is based on rock-solid foundations in reality, and it seems to be spreading. Poilievre and other opposition politicians could sing the government’s praises from the rooftops without making a dent in Canadians’ well-earned cynicism.
That’s expensive, though, and there are only so many pharmacists, and Canadian parents have a reasonable expectation of living in a first world country where keeping a child’s fever down needn’t involve a pestle and mortar. Which brings us to a second potential partial solution: Importing product from countries that have plenty of supply. That’s already happening when it comes to painkiller supplies for hospitals.
And lest you think this should be a political no-brainer, some otherwise reasonable Quebecers took to social media to demonstrate why it isn’t. “Bilingualism harms children’s health — hadn’t heard that one before,” La Presse columnist Yves Boisvert sneered. “Hot tip for : francophones have kids too,” quipped Laval University economist Stephen Gordon. “Not everything is Quebec’s fault,” independent Quebec journalist Christopher Curtis chimed in.
This is all crazy, obviously. No one is suggesting francophone parents be left squinting at English-language instructions in the middle of the night while juggling a screaming, feverish toddler. No one is saying it’s “Quebec’ fault.” The language problem is fantastically simple to address. Stickers can be affixed to English-only packaging. If stickers are in short supply, half a sheet of 8.5-by-11 paper would do the trick.
