L Lmao chowmein is already called nouilles sautées à la cantonaise when i was working at a Chinese Restaurant
Tbh i don’t know why the manager didn’t hide the ghost menu like every Chinese restaurant do
This article is kind of dishonest because it hits on a strawman. The reason why is an issue now is because Montreal Chinatown is dying and it’s not because of the language police lmao
It was on the wall in big characters, but after they got in trouble they took the wall sign down and now have a secret menu they only hand out to Chinese customers.
I think language police shit is fine if you're trying to resist a bigger language coming in and colonizing your culture ie English but enforcing it on a smaller language like the cantonese spoken by an ethnic minority in one part of the city is fash shit. It's basically what started the Ukrainian Civil War in 2014.
As if Canada didn’t give the Chinese the right to vote till like the 50s
But hey at least they gave a reparation check of 10k to the suviving family members of chinese people who got headtaxed into staying in Canada.
Chinese people need to understand that the perceived acceptance of Quebec/canada for them is all conditional
