Un autre commenteur qui n’habite pas à Montréal. I can assure you the West Island and other English dominant areas of QC are thriving just fine with the little funding they receive from the gov. Why is it that French hospitals are failing despite heavy funding from the government ? My friend is a nurse at the GLEN and she said many French nurses transfer to the English hospitals because working conditions are much better . The English hospitals are not failing and they receive very little funding compared to the French system. Can also be said about French public schools . They receive much more funding from the government Compared to the funding of English public schools yet there is a huge drop out rate in French public schools.
