“17-year-old graphic designer Xavier Menard tried to register his company but was told by the Quebec business registry that he couldn’t because the company’s name–Wellarc–is too English. ‘My first reaction was: you must be kidding,’ Menard said. The bureaucrats were serious, so the mild-mannered teenager took his anger to YouTube. In a short video Menard attacks Pauline Marois’s government, not for its desire to protect the French language, but for its ‘idiotic’ methods. In his video Menard points out Quebec’s 7.5 percent unemployment rate, which is higher than the national average, and says it is even worse for youth.”
