Radio-Canada gives French language features 12 million; Anglophone filmmakers migrate to Québec

Is this discriminatory?

Can we get the language police to force Radio-Canada to equally dole out the cash to Anglophones ? Can we force Parliament to do something? Can we move to Quebec and establish residency there? How many days do we need? 90? We can use that time to get our screenplays translated into French (we'll dub the film back into English later anyway).

You'd probably have to find someone who could read and write French as well so they can write up a nice proposal to Radio-Canada.

How's this for a plot: Old French grandparents die and leave their grandchildren (3 hot sisters) an old Parisian-style country cottage (if such a thing exists). As a celebration, the sisters have a huge house party. Lots of sex. It turns out to be a haunted house. Lots of gore. Two of the sisters die, and the sole surviving sister turns out to be pregnant with something evil (sequel!).

That would be great in French.

We probably just need an interpreter on set. That's pretty easy especially when most of the dialogue from the script will be replaced with screaming anyway. Clint Eastwood directed a film with an all Japanese cast, we should be able to at least understand a tenth of what we hear from our Québécois actors, given that we've been reading the backs of cereal boxes all these years.

Thanks Mr. Trudeau.
