Talk:Children of Bill 101

Correction
400 000 individuals as of December 2003 is impossible. According to demographer Michel Paillé, Quebec received only 167 700 immigrants under 18 years old between 1977 and 1999. In 2001, 103 600 were 18 or over. Paillé took into account mortality and out-migration of children, as well as female immigrants’ fertility. Rustine (talk) 13:15, 16 April 2010 (UTC)

Validity of the "Effects of Bill 101" section
The "Effects of Bill 101" paragraph makes the claim that "there has been no discernable loss of English after the bill". This is a dubious, open-ended statement that is not well explained, researched or referenced. The indisputable fact is that the implementation of bill 101 has resulted in a large exodus of anglophone Quebecers leaving Quebec for other provinces, while Quebec's anglophone school boards (such as LBPSB and the EMSB) continually lose funding and enrollment. A quick Google search for statistical data clearly shows the numbers. And, other pages with more rigorous research clearly illustrate this trend in Wikipedia. For instance, the more impartial page on English-speaking Quebecers states, and references the following: "The English-speaking population has shown an accelerated decline in population between 1971 and 2001. During this interval, the number of mother tongue anglophones has decreased from 788,830 to 591,365 representing a drop in its share of the Quebec population from 13.1% to 8.3%. This is attributed primarily to an exodus of anglophones to other provinces and raised questions about the sustainability of the community... ...Immigration from other countries and integration of allophones helped to partially alleviate the impact of this trend. In 2001, one in three immigrants to Quebec was English-speaking and settled in Montreal. This made the decrease in home-language anglophones less pronounced, particularly in the Montreal area. This situation is rapidly changing as the vast majority of immigrants now adopt French as their first language: three quarters of linguistic transfers of allophones arriving between 2001 and 2006 allophones arriving have been towards French instead of English." - The use of Michel Paillé's blog as the only reference for this Wikipedia entry makes for a dubious entry, to say the least. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 216.75.189.190 (talk) 22:00, 29 September 2014 (UTC)
