I am not advocating the boycotting of French providers but merely reflecting the ongoing issues that many face in the Toronto area and observing to see if many here feel the same. Notice how I titled the thread in the form of a question. I personally will not boycott them but if anyone chooses to based on thier experience, than that is thier preference. In no way I am provoking hate, only a discussion.
You're the only one who brought up boycotting French / Quebec providers here.
I think you chose a terrible thread title if you expected to discuss the subpar experience others have had with providers in Toronto who grew up in Quebec if so. It sure seems like an advertisement for a boycott as titled.
So yeah, you're not promoting it now, but you did prevoke it, maybe unintentionally, but I question your judgement. Look at the Quebec providers who commented here and their opinions on the thread. You did this, no one else. You offended them without cause.
It's useless too, stay in Toronto forum for Toronto problems or be way more specific in future. Imagine had you wrote to boycott of black, native, white, or ? providers due to subpar services. Leave hate created in Toronto in Toronto rather than spreading it here, especially if you don't you don't agree with the hate you are provoking by creating a thread here in the Ottawa forum.
Not everyone will always read all of the posts in a thread, but defending the way you wrote the title is wrong. You didn't do that well at all, even if unitentionally. My 2 cents as someone who did not grow up in Quebec.
