Bilingualism: Address delivered before the Quebec Canadian Club At Quebec, Tuesday, March 28th, 1916

"Bilingualism: Address delivered before the Quebec Canadian Club by N. A. Belcourt" is a powerful speech from 1916 that shines a light on the struggles of French-speaking Canadians in Ontario. It is centered around Regulation No. 17, which threatened their right to learn in their own language. Belcourt passionately argues that this regulation unfairly limited French instruction in schools, sharing real-life examples of how the language was being pushed out. He calls on both French and English speakers to stand up for these educational rights. The speech emphasizes the importance of protecting cultural heritage and national unity and is ultimately a call for fairness towards the French-Canadian community during a time of rising tension.
